There was a time when Christopher Nolan was considered the greatest living sci-fi director - but will the success of Dune 2 see the title passed down?
After Dune 2 is released, Dennis Villeneuve is set to overtake Christopher Nolan in one major way. Dune 2 is upcoming sequel to Denis Villeneuve’s 2021 sci-fi epic, which reinvented the first half of Frank Herbert’s classic novel for a new generation, and cemented Villeneuve as one of the most talented sci-fi directors there’s ever been.
Nolan was responsible for making big-budget sci-fi accessible again, telling stories that are easy to follow despite their complicated tricks and twists . Before his success, the genre wasn’t really seen as something that people would flock to go and watch - but these projects managed to find the exact formula that audiences loved without sacrificing the heart of the genre, proving that science fiction doesn’t have to be some inaccessible concept that needs to be fully understood to be enjoyed.
The movies that followed would be some of Denis Villeneuve’s best, with projects such as Blade Runner 2049 and Dune proving beyond doubt that he understands exactly what makes blockbuster science fiction so appealing to mass audiences. Although the former suffered a pretty disappointing reception at the box office , it was still met with widespread acclaim and didn’t slow down Villeneuve’s winning streak at all.
Many audiences consider Dune to be the greatest achievement of Villeneuve’s career so far, and there’s lots of pressure riding on its sequel to conclude this story in a way that feels true to the novel while leaving an impression on the big screen.
