Forest Whitaker in a still from Arrival.
Director Denis Villeneuve has given us some amazing movies across genres. Be it compelling thrillers like Prisoners and Sicario or futuristic cyberpunk features like Blade Runner 2049, his vision, character-driven narratives, and distinct storytelling keep fans glued to their seats.
Nonetheless, the director is known for his work in the sci-fi genre. After the success of the first Dune film, the director became a global sensation, with fans around the world waiting for the next installment. Villeneuve’s Dune 1 and 2 have been major successes, not only becoming box office sensations but also garnering plenty of critical acclaim along the way. With power performers like Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, Javier Bardem, and Rebecca Ferguson, among others, the Dune films have emerged as a strong franchise with great rewatch value. Now, fans are eagerly waiting for December for the final installment to drop, when it’ll clash with Avengers: Doomsday. As we wait for Dune 3, fans have a chance to watch another sci-fi masterpiece by Villeneuve: Arrival. Starring Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner, the film is regarded as a must-watch for fans of the genre. Arrival follows Adams as linguistics professor Louise Banks, who leads an elite team of investigators when gigantic spaceships touch down in 12 locations around the world. On the verge of global war, Banks and her crew must race against time to find a way to communicate with the extraterrestrial visitors. The 94% Rotten Tomatoes-rated feature brilliantly uses the sci-fi premise to explore intimate human experiences and philosophical concepts. The themes of communication, non-linear time, free will, and isolation have particularly wide appeal beyond sci-fi fans. The film was a big commercial hit, earning $203.4 million worldwide and bagging eight Oscar nominations. Fans will be able to stream Arrival on Paramount+ starting April 1.

The third installment will take a significant time jump, as seen in the trailer. While the plot is still under wraps, it is expected to cover the story of Dune: Messiah with Villeneuve making his own changes to the narrative. Ferguson previously told Collider’s Steve Weintraub: “It’s phenomenal. It's very rare. To be honest, I haven't done a film that has had three parts in it, so it's my first time. It's rare for me to watch something where you think it fundamentally just keeps getting better and better. I felt that way when I read the script. I love Dune one. I think two is a fundamentally fantastic continuation, and I'm excited about three.” Arrival Like Follow Followed PG-13 Drama Science Fiction Mystery Release Date November 11, 2016 Runtime 116 minutes Director Denis Villeneuve Writers Eric Heisserer Producers Aaron Ryder, David Linde, Karen Lunder, Shawn Levy, Dan Levine, Dan Cohen Cast See All
