The beginning is a delicate time, especially for Denis Villeneuve’s Dune for Legendary Pictures. When it was first revealed that Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet would be playing the part of Paul Atreides, we were pretty excited. He’s a good choice, his age is about right (although a little old for the true story line), but his demeanor and […]

It would appear that Mission: Impossible star Rebecca Ferguson is currently in negotiations to join the upcoming Dune film from Legendary Pictures and director Denis Villeneuve.

Director Denis Villeneuve has proven his ability to take a previously existing science fiction property and make it his own. His success (yeah yeah, box office, blah blah) with Blade Runner 2049 signaled to many that perhaps he really is the right person to bring the Frank Herbert classic Dune back to the big screen. During an appearance at the Rendez-Vous […]

Blade Runner 2049 was an absolutely incredible film [FIGHT ME] that pairs with it’s forebearer extremely well. Director Denis Villeneuve was able to facilitate and present a visual and aural feast for fans of the original Sir Ridley Scott sci-fi noir masterpiece and an entire new appreciative generation of more-human-than-human audiences.

The last few years’ filmography from Sir Ridley Scott has been….interesting….with some notable misses and at least one pleasant surprise, his movie magic prowess is world renowned.
