Here is a quick but informative interview by io9 with Baz Luhrmann toying with the idea of filming a classic futuristic tale. Luhrmann at the Australia premiere acknowledged he’d contemplated switching from movies set in the past to creating stories set in the future. Baz believes the future has gotten a bit old-fashioned, but he’s got some ideas for spicing it up.

“Actually there are a few future-projects…. I think if you address it you have to address it in a completely fresh way. It’s become a bit old fashioned. I mean the future has become old fashioned. Now is so much more consumed with it now than we ever have been before.”
