And so, is it any surprise that yet another big studio has given Villeneuve carte-blanche to splatter whatever his art desires on the screen with his next movie? Of course not. By all accounts Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s “Dune” is the biggest risk of his career. Even David Lynch failed miserably with his own film adaptation back in 1984. And yet, I trust Villeneuve will do something very special with Herbert’s material. He has long been fascinated by the novel and what’s currently happening is very much a dream come true for him. Josh Brolin was added to the cast of the upcoming adaptation today, which already includes Oscar Isaac, Timothee Chalamet, Javier Bardem, Dave Bautista, Rebecca Ferguson, Charlotte Rampling and Stellan Skarsgard. Production is set to begin this spring in Budapest and Jordan. Contribute Hire me
