More specifically, the Pulp Fiction filmmaker recently said he has no interest in watching fellow colleague Denis Villeneuve ‘s Dune adaptations, as he views them as symptomatic of Hollywood’s overreliance on remixing old IP (usually in a bid to mitigate risk and maximize profit). Just a number of the upcoming remakes that have generated headline news include Luca Guadagnino’s American Psycho, Warner Bros. Television’s Harry Potter series and Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights.
