Sci-Fi Denis Villeneuve’s Dune Messiah

[Sawyer]

I'm sure Legendary and Brian Herbert are already scouting talent.

On the one hand, I can understand wanting to strike while the iron is hot. On the other, though, when you’ve got someone like Denis handling the material like he has so far, I think you should at least do them the courtesy of actually closing out their chapter before you go moving on to what’s next.

The first thing that came to mind was the gap for the Planet of the Apes films between War and Kingdom, although seven years is a bit excessive. I don’t think we can expect anyone to hold off that long. But ****, WB at least waited for a year after the Dark Knight Trilogy ended before telling the world they were throwing Batman Zack Snyder’s way.

True, but I should point out that Brian Herbert's great ideal partner for continuing Dune is Kevin J Anderson. So, you know, his bar for quality is suspect.

And frankly, given WB's bottleneck in the Reeve's stuff, which HBO very, very much wants more of, I can see them pumping money to Legendary for Dune and Godzilla

That quote is from a podcast he did with Roger Deakins from over a month ago. It was just him spitballing about what kind of blockbuster roles that would interest him, and Dune came up as an example. I really doubt that this comment will lead to an actual role for him.

Do you think Kylie saw him reading and had to be talked out of calling 911 bc she had never seen someone read a book in her entire life?
