I agree that Jodorowsky's Dune is a fucking remarkable film in its own right. Looking forward to catching Jodorowsky's new film...although I do wish that weird flick he was working on with Marilyn Manson had come together -- that sounded utterly, utterly insane.

Has anyone else seen this incredible film? Hands down best doc I've seen in a long while. Too good for this world.

Director Denis Villeneuve recently helmed his first science-fiction film Arrival. The Sicario director’s latest is already generating some great buzz, and our own Angie Han called it “brainy sci-fi with a big, bloody, beating heart.” Before that sci-fi drama even reaches theaters, Villeneuve has started shooting Blade Runner 2. The filmmaker is already considering other science-fiction projects as well, and if he had his druthers, one of them would be Dune. Below, read Villeneuve’s comments on a Dune remake.
"I had been wanting to do sci-fi for a very long time. 2001: A Space Odyssey is a movie that really impressed me as a teenager. And also Blade Runner. And Close Encounters of the Third Kind is also one of my favorites. I’m always looking for sci-fi material, and it’s difficult to find original and strong material that’s not just about weaponry. A longstanding dream of mine is to adapt “Dune,” but it’s a long process to get the rights, and I don’t think I will succeed. Also I would love to write something myself. I have two sci-fi projects right now that are in very early stages. It’s too early to talk about them."
