It ’s safe to say that directorDenis Villeneuve’sDunefilmsare spectacular , both as works of cinema and in how they adjust author Frank Herbert ’s best - deal sci - fi novels in a way that anyone can revel watch , whether they are longtime or newfound fans . However , fellow director Quentin Tarantino express a lack of interest in the films , to which Villeneuve nonchalantly reply , “ I do n’t manage . ”
“ I do n’t need to see that floor again , ” Tarantino say . “ I do n’t need to see spice worms . I do n’t need to see a moving-picture show that says the word ‘ spice ’ so dramatically . ”
While there ’s some sense of irony in Tarantino ’s adoration for Lynch ’s celluloid , consideringLynch wants nothing to do with it , Tarantino further elaborated his point by contextualizing it as part of his general fatigue with remake in Hollywood , using FX’sShōgunas another example .

“ I sawShogunin the ’ 80s . I observe all 13 hour . I ’m good . I do n’t need to see that tarradiddle again , I do n’t deal how they do it , ” Tarantino continued . “ I do n’t manage if they take me and put me in ancient Japan in a time machine . I do n’t wish , I ’ve seen the story . ”
According to the Gazette , Villeneuve ’s humorous “ I do n’t care ” led to a mass of laugh in the room . Villeneuve then plunk into how he agrees and disagrees with Tarantino ’s take .
“ It ’s true , I agree with him that I do n’t like this theme of recycling and fetch back one-time ideas , ” Villeneuve said . “ But where I disagree is that what I did was not a remaking . It ’s an adaptation of the book . I see this as an original . But we are very different human being . ”
