As Christopher Nolan prepares to shoot his next film Oppenheimer, starring Cillian Murphy and Emily Blunt, he found time to show his support for another director who knows a thing or two working on a massive scale. As Denis Villeneuve’s Dune arrives in the United States, the two gathered for a DGA conversation about the Frank Herbert adaptation.
Villeneuve discusses preparing and how the book was his bible while noting the elephant in the room that was Star Wars and trying to bring something fresh at every turn.
