Denis Villeneuve, Star Wars fan
Denis Villeneuve is one of the most acclaimed directors in Hollywood today. With its saga Duneand well before with First contact AND Blade Runner 2049the Quebec director has shown he has resources in science fiction.
This is perhaps due to his unconditional love for Star Wars. On several occasions, the director of Prisoners as a child he cited George Lucas’ saga among his favorite films. “ “The Empire Strikes Back” is the film I have looked forward to the most in my life. I’ve seen the movie a billion times on screen. I was traumatized by “The Empire Strikes Back.” I love “Star Wars” “, he said in the podcast The Town, via Variety.
However, those days appear to be over. AND Denis Villeneuve no longer seems interested at all Star Warsas he confided, without irony.
Denis Villeneuve is not interested in directing a Star Wars film
For Denis Villeneuve, the saga Star Wars it has lost its lusternot since 2015 with The Force awakens as many fans think, but from the 80s. The problem is, everything went off the rails in 1983 with “Return of the Jedi.” It’s a long story. I was 15 and my best friend and I wanted to get in a cab and go to Los Angeles and talk to George Lucas – we were so angry! Even today, the Ewoks. It turned out to be a children’s comedy “he blurted out.
Denis Villeneuve did not stop there and went even further with his criticisms. According to him, franchising Star Wars “ crystallized in its own mythology » and it became “ very dogmatic, seemed to be a mechanic, no more surprises “. From that moment on, the question everyone was asking no longer seems current. “ So I don’t dream of making a ‘Star Wars’ because I have the impression that it is very codified ».
It’s useless to hope to see him direct the other famous science fiction saga, Star Trek. The director admits that he is not” a trek “. So much the better, fans of Dune.
This gives Denis Villeneuve time to develop Dune 3 who should released in December 2026.
