Quentin Tarantino doesn’t seem interested in watching Denis Villeneuve’s movie dune Movie.
The Oscar winner was recently asked Bret Easton Ellis Podcast if he considers Dune: Part 2 One of the best films of the year and well received by critics. However, he could not answer this question because he had not seen the movie and had no intention of watching it.
“I saw [David Lynch’s] dune several times. I don’t need to see that story anymore,” Tarantino admitted. “I don’t need to see the spice bug. I don’t need to see a movie that mentions the word ‘spice’ so exaggeratedly.
Tarantino’s opinion has nothing to do with Villeneuve personally, he’s just tired of Hollywood remakes and wants to see movies with original material.
"It’s remake after remake and that remake," once upon a time in hollywood Filmmaker explains. “People ask you, have you seen it? dune? have you seen Ripley? have you seen general? I was like no, no, no, no. There are six or seven Ripley books. If you’re doing it again, why do the same thing they’ve done twice? I’ve seen this story twice before, and I didn’t really like either version of it, so I wasn’t interested in watching it a third time. If you wrote another story, it would be interesting and worth a try.
He continued: “I saw general In the eighties. I watched it for a full 13 hours. I am fine. I don’t need to see that story again, I don’t care how they did it. I don’t care if they put me in a time machine from ancient Japan. I don’t care, I’ve seen the story.
But Tarantino seems to be going against the status quo, as he also shared on the podcast that he actually enjoyed another movie this year: Todd Phillips’ Clown: Pas de deux. However, clown The sequel was a disaster at the box office and critically.
“I really, really liked it, really. A lot. Like it a lot, and I went to see it hoping to be impressed by the filmmaking. But I thought it would be an intellectual exercise at arm’s length, and ultimately I didn’t I would think it works as a movie, but I would appreciate it for what it is,” he said of the film. “I’m just nihilistic to the point of enjoying a movie that doesn’t quite feel like a movie. In a way, it’s like a giant mess. I don’t think it’s an intellectual exercise. I really get caught up in it. I really enjoyed these musical sequences and I thought the more mediocre the songs were, the better.
