Denis Villeneuve Responds To Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Dune’ Gripe: “I Don’t Care”


After Quentin Tarantino used 'Dune' to illustrate his problem with remakes, Denis Villeneuve clarified that he adapted Frank Herbert's book.

The franchise has spawned the prequel series Dune: Prophecy, debuting Nov. 17 on HBO and Max. “I saw [Lynch’s] Dune a couple of times,” Tarantino recently said on Bret Easton Ellis’ self-titled podcast. Villeneuve’s Dune took home six Oscars, with both films earning a combined $1.12 billion globally.
