Quentin Tarantino's recent comments criticizing reboots and remakes have sparked controversy, especially after he revealed he had never seen the Dune films. But now, Dune director Denis Villeneuve isn’t holding back in his response. In a bold statement, Villeneuve made it clear that Tarantino’s harsh words don’t faze him. The tension between these two legendary filmmakers has everyone talking – but what exactly did Villeneuve have to say? Find out here!
Tarantino, who is known for criticizing remakes, explained, 'I watched David Lynch's Dune films from 1984 several times. I don't need to watch that story again. I don't need to see the spice worms again. I don't even need to watch a film where the word 'spice' is said so dramatically.'
In an interview with The Montreal Gazette, Villeneuve said, 'The Dune I made is not a remake. I don't care about what Tarantino said. I adapted Herbert's book again. I agree with him on the issue of remakes, but what I did was an original work.'
