Josh Brolin really, really wants ‘Dune 2’ director Denis Villeneuve to be nominated for an Oscar

Josh Brolin certainly has a flare for the dramatics. The actor threatened to “quit acting” if “Dune: Part Two” director Denis Villeneuve doesn’t get nominated for a best director Oscar for the second installment.

Josh Brolin certainly has a flare for the dramatics. The actor made a case for why “Dune: Part Two” director Denis Villeneuve deserves to be nominated for a best director Oscar for the second installment of the sprawling sci-fi franchise that came out this year, and warned that he’ll do the unthinkable should it not come to pass. “If he doesn’t get nominated this year, I’ll quit acting,” Brolin told Variety in an interview published Thursday about his new memoir “From Under the Truck.

” Villeneuve was snubbed from earning a best director nod for “Dune: Part One” when the film was released in 2021, and Brolin clearly isn’t over it. The “Avengers: Infinity War” star portrayed the character Gurney Halleck in both “Dune” films, which are based on Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel of the same name. “Dune: Part 2” was widely well-received when it was released in February, offering a much more action-packed movie than the slower-paced world-builder that “Part One” delivered.
