Denis Villeneuve: ‘Movies Have Been Corrupted by Television’ and a ‘Danger in Hollywood’ Is Thinking About ‘Release Dates, Not Quality’


"Dune: Part Two" is the latest Hollywood blockbuster to flirt with the three-hour runtime mark.

Villeneuve flirted with making an HBO limited series adaptation of Norwegian author Jo Nesbo’s novel “The Son,” and even recruited Jake Gyllenhaal to star in the project. Several critics agree “Part Two” is one of the most visually stunning blockbusters ever made, a compliment Villeneuve surely values considering movies in his eyes are all about strong images. “Dune: Part Two” opens in theaters March 1 from Warner Bros.
