Beyond his impressive filmography, director Quentin Tarantino has earned a reputation as a major fan of cinema. Therefore, it's surprising that Tarantino has no interest in watching Denis Villeneuve's Dune movies. Villeneuve has directed many acclaimed films, such as Prisoners, Arrival, and Blade Runner 2049, but the filmmaker is definitely more popular now than ever before due to his successful Dune films.
Why Quentin Tarantino Won't Watch Denis Villeneuve's Dune Movies, Explained Tarantino Does Not Want To Watch A Hollywood Remake Close ✕ Remove Ads Quentin Tarantino's career began with the release of 1992's Reservoir Dogs. 1994's Pulp Fiction, only his second film, became one of the biggest movies of the year and instantly made Tarantino one of the most talked-about directors in Hollywood.
✕ Remove Ads Tarantino is not actually criticizing Villeneuve's work on his Dune movies, or is suggesting that David Lynch's adaptation is better. Tarantino's criticism is of Hollywood as a whole, not Villeneuve personally. Tarantino pointed out that major Hollywood studios no longer make original films, and instead rely on well-known IPs to drive ticket sales.
✕ Remove Ads Instead, Villeneuve claimed that he is adapting author Frank Herbert's original Dune novel in his own way. Villeneuve does not consider his Dune films to be remakes of any previous Dune adaptations, and therefore believes that they should be left out of Tarantino's argument towards the current state of Hollywood.
