When we talk about science fiction, it's difficult not to mention Christopher Nolan who is one of the greatest artisans in recent years. However, it is the work of one of his colleagues which, according to him, deserves our full attention.
The best science fiction film of 2024
During a DGA panel organized in front of the American press, the director of Inception, Interstellar or even Tenet wanted to highlight… Denis Villeneuve. According to him, Dune 2 – released this year in cinemas with Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya in the cast, would be the biggest success of its genre in 2024.
“If, for me, Dune was Star Wars, then Dune 2 would be on the level of The Empire Strikes Back, which is my favorite Star Wars moviehe exclaimed. I find that it's a perfect extension of everything that was introduced in the first film.“
“I was really amazed by the detail put into everything”
Subsequently, Christopher Nolan was full of praise for the meticulousness put in place by Villeneuve behind his camera in order to bring us into a new universe. “What really struck me was the sense of immersion in this worldrevealed the filmmaker. It's a film that has so many unique images, so many things you've never seen before, over and over again.“And to add:”I was really amazed by the detail put into everything.“
Words which logically pleased Denis Villeneuve, present at his side, he who never hid that The Empire Strikes Back was one of his favorite films. We just hope that Dune 3a priori in his boxes, will not take the direction of Return of the Jedi which, conversely, is one of Villeneuve's most hated films.
