Denis Villeneuve is that most uncommon of contemporary filmmakers, to the degree where he’s pretty much a unicorn in Hollywood terms. Put more plainly, Villeneuve is one of a handful of noteworthy studio directors capable of re-imagining venerated properties in ways that shouldn’t work – like say, for instance, a sequel to Ridley Scott’s beloved “Blade Runner” or an epic take on Frank Herbert’s long-thought-to-be-unfilmable “Dune” – and making them sing onscreen.

In 2019, I spoke with legendary composer Hans Zimmer about his music for the live-action reimagining of “The Lion King.” It was a conversation that spanned such topics as his collaborations with Christopher Nolan, live performances, and, most notably, his work on Denis Villeneuve‘s adaptation of Frank Herbert‘s iconic sci-fi novel “Dune.” Zimmer instantly fell in love with Herbert’s original novel during his teens relating heavily to the moodiness and angst of Paul Atreides and when I previously asked about what we could expect for the soundscape of Villeneuve’s “Dune,” Zimmer hinted at the fact that he’s been waiting for this moment his whole life, refining the sounds of Arrakis, House Atreides, and the rest of Herbert’s vast world in his

With the release of most Marvel Studios films, inevitably the filmmaker behind the feature is asked about any sort of cinematic inspirations that went into the making of the latest superhero epic. And for “Eternals,” director Chloé Zhao drew inspiration from some surprising films from some of the greatest filmmakers of all time.

It’s been several years since Denis Villeneuve released “Blade Runner 2049.” At the time, the film was going to be Villeneuve’s big blockbuster franchise breakout, coming off acclaimed, but decidedly more mid-budget fare. Well, ‘2049’ hit with some critical raves but the box office was far from a success, seemingly sending the ‘Blade Runner’ franchise back to the shelf to gather dust.

Denis Villeneuve told the audience at Contenders London today that embarking on an adaptation of Frank Herbert’s epic 1965 sci-fi book Dune was the “project of a lifetime” for him.

Dune director, who has previously helmed the likes of Blade Runner 2049, Arrival and Prisoners, volunteered himself as the next Bond director during the Happy Sad Confused podcast hosted by Josh Horowitz.Speaking on the show, Villeneuve said: “Frankly – and I cannot believe I would say that – but the answer would be a massive yes. I would deeply love to one day make a James Bond movie.“It’s a character that I’ve been with – like everybody – since my childhood.

Jordan Moreau The search is on for the next James Bond actor after Daniel Craig finishes his run, but the hunt for the next 007 director already has a new volunteer: Denis Villeneuve.On the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, hosted by Josh Horowitz, Villeneuve said he’s a huge Bond fan and it would be a dream for him to direct a movie in the franchise if he were ever asked.“Franky — and I cannot believe I would say that — but the answer would be a massive yes. I would deeply love to one day make a James Bond movie,” Villeneuve said.

Dune is released this month, has opened up about the failure of his previous film Blade Runner 2049.The sequel to the 1982 original, which starred Ryan Gosling and saw Harrison Ford reprise his role as Rick Deckard, was a box office misfire.Upon its release in 2017, it failed to cross the $100million mark despite a production and marketing budget that was reportedly over $300million.“The miracle for me about ‘Blade Runner 2049’ is the following: I’m still making movies and you’re still talking to me,” Villeneuve told the Happy Sad Confused podcast.He continued: “I knew that when I did this movie I flirted with disaster.

Not only was the choice to hire Cary Fukunaga to direct “No Time to Die” a great idea, considering the end result, but the fact that an American was given the reins to the very British James Bond franchise opened up the future to include some top-tier filmmakers that would be great fits to direct their own installment. Case in point—Denis Villeneuve.

Though “Dune” has already debuted in international territories, Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic has yet to have its US debut, which is going to be the time that most people pay attention to the film. Not because the rest of the world is somehow less than the US, but because in the US, the film will be released both in theaters and on HBO Max, making its box office result something of interest for the entire film industry.
