Is there hope for a sequel to Villeneuve's DUNE? A ROBSERVATIONS Short Take #075
#Dune #DenisVilleneuve #SciFiClassic
ROBSERVATIONS host, Robert Meyer Burnett, responds to a fan's letter about the prospects for the upcoming sci-fi epic, DUNE, directed by Denis Vlleneuve. RMB touches on the fact that he's read the script and holds it in high regard and goes on to explain why DUNE checks all the boxes a studio wants in a major motion picture.
The real secret to DUNE's success, argues Burnett, is that the director, Villeneuve, loves the subject matter and is enthusiastic about creating a trilogy of films from the rich source material. Rob goes on to propose that if the films launch successfully and introduce this sci-fi classic to a wider audience, DUNE could become the next big, tentpole franchise for Hollywood.
