Dune 2, released on February 28, has already brought in $600 million worldwide, blowing away the first opus’s rating of $400 million. Denis Villeneuve’s film won over the public and critics… and a certain Steven Spielberg!
Two filmmakers were invited to the set DGA Director’s Cut podcast And ET’s dad said all the good things he thought about the Dune sequel. “You made one of the most brilliant sci-fi movies I’ve ever seen.”He trusted Denis Villeneuve.
From a director to whom we owe genre classics like Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind, Minority Report or War of the Worlds, a compliment is worth its weight in gold. “It’s an honor to sit here and talk to you.”Admired Steven Spielberg.
World builders
But the praise does not end there. “There are filmmakers who are world builders, starting with Georges Méliès, Disney, Kubrick and George Lucas. Ray Harryhausenwhich I also included in this list. Feline built their own worlds. Tim Burton also”emphasizes the 77-year-old film director.
“Obviously Wes Anderson, Peter Jackson, James Cameron, Christopher Nolan, Ridley Scott, Guillermo del Toro. The list is long, but not too long, and I deeply and sincerely believe that you are one of its newest members.– said Steven Spielberg while talking to Denis Villeneuve.
Steven Spielberg’s favorite scene
Spilby then revealed his favorite scene from Dune 2 to the Canadian director. This is Paul Atreides’ (Timothée Chalamet) sandworm’s first outing. “It’s a desert love story, but for a film that’s so desert-loving, there’s a longing for water. Despite all the sand in this film, it’s definitely in question.”Spielberg explains.
“Holy waters yearning for green meadows and blue water of life. You captured the desert like an ocean, a sea. The sandworms looked like sea snakes. And the sandworm surfing scene is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. You desert It was like an ocean.”The director pointed to Denis Villeneuve.
Therefore, the 56-year-old Canadian filmmaker is voiced by one of Hollywood’s greatest masters, which is enough to make him return for the adventure of Dune 3! “It’s currently being written. The script is almost finished, but not quite finished. It will take some time… We dream of making a third film… It would make sense to me.”Denis Villeneuve said at the time To promote Dune 2 in South Korea.
