Shane Carruth is known for a couple of things, making good movies, and making good
movies on a truly indie budget, but that could all change if his The Modern
Ocean moves forward.
Speaking to The
Playlist, Carruth revealed while it's true that he has signed with an agency, and
"moved" to Hollywood, that doesn't mean that he will stop doing what
makes him him.
"I’m constantly
interested in the politics, interactions between different personalities,
different characters," he said. "That’s what this boils down to: it
erupts into a big action film, essentially, but the reasons why it does are the
reasons the story exists…That characters are unable to get aligned is because
they’re all pointed in different directions, they all have slightly different
motives. And that’s not always known to the group."
Carruth added that "…we’re
not tackling the Somalian pirates angle,” he clarified about his picture. “When
we deal with skirmishes, we know the motivation and it’s always within its set
of characters. The skirmishes escalate into full-scale naval battles using
these improvised weapons on these cargo ships and so it’s not trying to make a
commentary about pirates. We are a world of ourselves, unto ourselves, in
‘Modern Ocean.’"
I have not yet seen
his last film, Upstream Color, but I truly enjoyed Primer, which he shot for
just $7,000, and ended up grossing $424,760 in the US.
