Science & Tech Quote by Jeremy Bulloch

"I get offered a lot of science fiction work and there is a new project in the pipeline called Master Race, set in World War II, but that's a little way off yet"

About this Quote

There is something almost disarmingly workmanlike about Bulloch’s line: the voice of an actor who knows exactly where the industry has filed him, and is pragmatic about it. “I get offered a lot of science fiction work” is less a brag than a quiet admission of typecasting-by-success. Bulloch isn’t selling a myth of boundless range; he’s acknowledging a marketplace that treats performers as brands, especially when fandom has done the branding for you.

The phrase “offered” matters. It frames his career as reactive rather than auteur-driven, a subtle reminder that acting labor is often about selection and timing, not conquest. And then he pivots to “a new project in the pipeline,” Hollywood’s favorite metaphor for inevitability: projects aren’t made, they’re processed. That bureaucratic language cools any hype, keeping expectations tamped down.

The most charged element sits in the title-and-setting combo: Master Race, World War II. Even without commentary, those words drag history’s most radioactive ideology into the room. Bulloch handles it with studied distance - “set in World War II” sounds like a neutral logline, as if the moral temperature could be controlled by period detail. That restraint reads as professional caution: don’t litigate a controversial premise in an interview; keep it legible, keep it safe.

“But that’s a little way off yet” is the final tell. It’s both a schedule update and a hedge. In entertainment, “way off” often means precarious: financing, scripts, and reputational risk can evaporate a project overnight. Bulloch’s intent is simple promotion; the subtext is survival in an industry where your next job is always hypothetical.
