Garland is the one who should be directing those big budget Star Trek films. He would bring back the substance over style thing, which is what ST should be, IMO. Ex Machina was fantastic and is exactly the type of thing I would love ST films to be. Of course you'd have to put some action scenes in to lure the general audience but in it's core ST should be an intelligent film about profound things, not just some silly space action. Nonetheless, I cannot wait for Garland's next film whatever it is. I'm so glad filmmakers like him exist. :)
I always expect to see a glimmer of Richard from _The Beach_ in Alex but I never do. It's impressive that Alex was able to write such a believable character despite seemingly having nothing in common with that character.
Well said, although he did mention in one of his interviews that he based Richard on himself when he was 18 or 19. In that case, it's possible that he used to be more like Richard when he was younger and has simply matured since then.
interviewer talks to Alex Garland ... about Ex Machina ... and didn't know what the Turing Test is (and yes, the movie doesn't really have a Turing Test, as Nathan says it's to see if someone knows a machine is a machine and still thinks it has a soul).
Collider needs a better interviewer. These questions are so spastic, overly-done, and butter-coated with flattery. Alex simply restating the question concerned numerous times is not a good thing.
Interviewer is freaking annoying and keeps trying to get Garland to answer a certain way. Just listen to what the guy is saying and ask questions that are relevant!

One of the best You Tube comments I've ever read. The reboot movies got real dumb in a hurry.

The Beach is my favourite novel still
Really looking forward to Annihilation. Garland's been kicking ass with his previous films.
He did a great job with Dredd and setting up future movies with that character.
Dr. Schwifty do u know if "Alex Garland" has a "mental disease"?
@@mexic8l what disease?
@@ilqar887 it has bin "2 years" since I commented a reply, so I don't remember of what I was asking to the ".rD".
What a fantastic interview segment.

One of the few truly interesting authors at work today
This man would be perfect to write and direct a Black Mirror episode.
Ex machina really could easily be an extended BM ep
Underrated Beast
Not a hater but not feeling the tone and the vibe that the interviewer is putting on. Not at all
