“It’s humorous as a result of Improve does the identical factor as Invisible Man. It ends on this ambiguous word, this query mark, the place you ask, “The place’s this going to go?” I do assume it’s so unbelievable how the science fiction that I wrote in that film has turn out to be ubiquitous. I used to be strolling alongside the opposite day with my brother who was visiting from Australia, and this autonomous automobile, this Waymo, drove previous us. And it struck me that I grew up watching films the place that was thought of a fully outrageous sci-fi idea.
Now, it’s one thing that folks don’t even bat an eyelid at when one drives previous. Nobody reacted in a giant approach. So it’s superb how rapidly we, as human beings, adapt to these items that was as soon as science fiction, and it’s been humorous to observe the world catch as much as Improve. However so far as making a sequel, that’s one other one the place I’m like, ‘I believe we’re good there. We’re good.’ I might like to let that movie maintain effervescent away as this cult film, and if individuals maintain considering that it was by some means prophetic, then that may be nice.”
