Quoting Blade Runner (best movie ever, sort of) as a point of reference gives me some hope...

Focusing on the characters (and the changes they go through) while establishing an almost film noir setting will be the key.
My suggestions:
Alex Proyas ("I, Robot" and "The Crow") - I think the world he creatd in "I, Robot" was just about perfect [for that story.] And "The Crow" is a great example of dealing with a truly dark storyline and keeping focus on the characters.
Laurance Kasdan - ("The Big Chill", "Star Wars V", and "Star Wars VI")
Great character focus, SciFi experience, just get him depressed or he'll make it too much like the Muppet show.
Ridley Scott - ("Blade Runner", "Alien", "Gladiator")
An obvious choice. But does he have the character focus?

There's no place like 127.0.0.1
1001001 = ASC(73) = "I"

I know this will be unpopular, and the guy hasn't made a decent film in years, but I'd love to see John Carpenter's take on The Gap. He's got a neat style, and is able to capture characters while he's directing an extravaganza.
Greengrass is probably a really good choice.

Loved "Dark Star". The cool thing about Carpenter is that he has proven he can direct action, violence, love, loss, and pretty much everything else, and do it well. But all the while, the guy's got a sly sense of humor that adds a level of realism to his work.

Wow! We almost agree on something! 
Oh yeah, definitely not Lynch.
Alex Proyas is an interesting choice. I loved Dark City.

God, if he was alive, Akira Kurosawa [think "Ran" and his earlier black-n-white, if you're familiar with him]
Carpenter or Scott if they could reclaim some of their older vision.
Whoever it is doing the new version of "Battlestar Galactica"...I've only seen a few episodes, but he/she seems quite good at claustrophobic/spacious, tech and tears.

"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.
