Steven Spielberg fan Dune 2
Between the very warm reception from the press and public, the excellent performance at the global box office ($579 million of revenue in a month), Dune 2 by Denis Villeneuve brilliantly met expectations, which were high. And to complete this success, Denis Villeneuve also receives congratulations from his colleagues. Christopher Nolan, before the film’s release in theaters, had thus established a flattering comparison with him Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Now it’s Steven Spielberg’s turn to testify his admiration about this new film Dune.
During the latest episode of the “Director’s Cut” podcast, the famous director, director of Jurassic Park, We have to save Private Ryan AND War of the Worldshe declared to Denis Villeneuve:
You’ve made one of the most brilliant sci-fi films I’ve ever seen. (…) It is an honor for me to sit next to you and talk to you. I’d start by saying that some directors are world builders. The list is not long and we know many of them. Starting with Méliès, Disney, Kubrick and George Lucas. I also include Ray Harryhausen in this list. Fellini built his worlds. Tim Burton. Obviously Wes Anderson, Peter Jackson, James Cameron, Christopher Nolan, Ridley Scott, Guillermo del Toro. The list is long, but it’s not that long, and I deeply and fervently believe that you are one of the newest members.
“One of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen”
As reported by Variety, the Canadian filmmaker was moved by this tribute, coming from a legendary filmmaker who was kind enough not to mention himself in the prestigious list he lists, even though he is obviously part of it. But Steven Spielberg didn’t stop there Dune 2. In fact, she deepened her experience of him when she found out about him Dune 2offering his personal interpretation of this story, and highlighting it a sequence particularly.
This is a story for desert lovers, but for a film like this there is such a longing for water! (…) Despite all the sand in this film, it’s really about water. The sacred waters longing for green meadows and the blue water of life. You film the desert to make it look like an ocean, a sea. The sand worms were like sea serpents. And that scene where we surf on sandworms is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. I’ve never seen anything like it!
Words that certainly pleased Denis Villeneuve, and which probably ended up constituting, if still necessary, his desire to achieve Dune 3…
