Tarantino's aversion to Dune ties into his general dislike of Hollywood telling the same stories over and over.
are spectacular, both as works of cinema and in how they adapt author Frank Herbert’s best-selling sci-fi novels in a way that anyone can enjoy watching, whether they are longtime or newfound fans. However, fellow director Quentin Tarantino expressed a lack of interest in the films, to which Villeneuve coolly replied, “I don’t care.”
Before we dive into this story, it should be stated that neither party’s comments mean they harbor hard feelings for the other, regardless of how badly film Twitter wants them to throw disses at each other like Kendrick Lamar and Drake. The discourse started last week after Tarantino’s appearance on episode of, starring Kyle MacLachlan, a handful of times—and doesn’t see the point in revisiting its story through Villeneuve’s lens.
“I don’t need to see that story again,” Tarantino said. “I don’t need to see spice worms. I don’t need to see a movie that says the word ‘spice’ so dramatically.”, Tarantino further elaborated his point by contextualizing it as part of his general fatigue with remakes in Hollywood, using FX’sin the ’80s. I watched all 13 hours. I’m good. I don’t need to see that story again, I don’t care how they do it,” Tarantino continued.
But of course, headlines tend to be where the majority of readers stop paying attention and sensationalize what is a pretty tame take into a damning statement. Thankfully, a curious reader crossed beyond the grabby headline and asked Villeneuve for his take on Tarantino’s comments during a recent Q&A with film students at Montreal’s Concordia University., Villeneuve’s humorous “I don’t care” led to a lot of laughter in the room.
“It’s true, I agree with him that I don’t like this idea of recycling and bringing back old ideas,” Villeneuve said. “But where I disagree is that what I did was not a remake. It’s an adaptation of the book. I see this as an original. But we are very different human beings.
