This slipped past me last week, so sorry about the lag. Michael Gondry talks with MTV about his concept for a time-travel movie with Ellen Page:
“I’d like to do a movie of this size with my own story, which would be quite amazing. But we’ll see,” he said. “I’m developing a screenplay with a writer right now about kids who travel [into] the future by mistake and a machine [that] keeps people younger… ehhh, it’s complicated to explain.”
Gondry has long been working on an adaptation of Rudy Rucker’s 1984 sci-fi novel “The Master of Space and Time.” He told The Playlist this past weekend that the project is finished, but he’s working on something “similar.”
“Ellen Page is supposed to be the main character,” Gondry said. “She’d play Nancy… a young woman who participates in the discovery and changes the world.” What’s interesting here is Nancy happens to be one of the key characters’ names in “Master of Space and Time.”
