The 'Dune' director opens up about why he doesn't want to direct a 'Star Wars' movie.
“I was the target audience. I was 10 years old. It went to my brain like a silver bullet. I became obsessed withis the movie that I anticipated the most in my life. I saw the movie a billion times onscreen. I was traumatized by,” he continued. “It’s a long story. I was 15 years old, and my best friend and I wanted to take a cab and go to L.A. and talk to George Lucas — we were so angry! Still today, the Ewoks. It turned out to be a comedy for kids.
Villeneuve also noted he does not want to work for a streaming service like Netflix. “The big screen is part of the language, to share a story together, to receive the communal emotional experience of cinema in a theater,” he said. “We’re not meant to be alone, we’re meant to share together. … I believe the theater experience will prevail.”Privacy Policy
