Denis Villeneuve slog sig in i Hollywood med ohyggligt vassa armbågar, han bara bufflade sig in med 2015-thrillern Prisoners, följde sedan upp med Sicario samt Arrival och pysslar just nu med uppföljaren till Blade Runner. Karln har gjort fem filmer på fem år, på slutet, och börjar enligt egen utsago bli trött nu, sugen på semester. I en purfärsk intervju gjord av Cinemablend pratar Denis Villeneuve lite mer om sitt drömprojekt Dune (re-boot) och hur han tänker och ser på den filmen (som han skrivit på för att göra så snart han fått lite semester).
"The problem right now, and something I want to change, I worked very fast. I did Prisoners, and then after that, in the past six years I have done five movies -- which is not a good idea! It's too fast. And I learned a lot, I learned so much, for the time now I need just a little time to digest. After Blade Runner, as I'm working on Dune, I would love to just digest and then come back with more energy for Dune with fresh ideas. I need that right now! And so I need distance a little bit.
Dune is a novel that I read when I was a teenager, and I was engulfed. I was transported by Dune for years. When I finished Prisoners, when I came to Hollywood I made a movie called Prisoners, and I said to myself, 'It will be a one shot experience, but I will enjoy it.' And it went well, and the producers at Alcon Entertainment asked me after that, 'What would you like to do? Is there one thing you'd like to do?' And I said, 'Dune.' Spontaneously. I know there was competition to get the rights, but I always said to myself, and I'm saying it to you, I can't believe it will be a thing. There's no screenplay right now, but that will be my dream!"
Ser du fram emot en nyversion av Dune?
