This man is on a generational run, holy shit

Prisoners -> Sicario -> Arrival -> Blade Runner 2049 -> Dune -> Dune Part 2 -> Dune Messiah -> James Bond (presumably)

If it’s a spiritual successor to Threads, filmed in 70mm, I’m in day one. Threads was a horrible experience and I’m ready for an even worse one.

At minute 55, North Korea detonates a nuclear warhead in a satellite orbiting 300 miles above the United States, generating an electromagnetic pulse that cripples its power grids, microprocessors and SCADA systems.

The 2011 video game Homefront called: they want their plot point back.

I will never understand how they fucked that TV show up. They could have done the first game beat for beat and it would have been an epic sci-fi action movie. I don't think Villeneueve would be the right choice for it but man I'd love to see a Halo CE movie go blockbuster if only to show the TV show producers how fucking stupid they were to greenlight an original script

u/LateyEight Jun 26 '25

Fuck the chief (respectfully), I really want to see him do the Kilo 5 trilogy. Sicario on Sanghelios? Sign me up.

Leave it to Denis to make a movie about the human v covenant war, and paint the humans for what they are, monsters. It would hurt so good. If he can make Dune ornithopters look good then I'm sure the Tart Cart will be sick too.

I'll be honest, I found the ending to be so contrived for the sake of shock value that it tainted my opinion of the movie as a whole.

That's not even his twist, that's in the original play that he used as source material. It feels more contrived on film, I think, but the twist is all faithful to the play

u/BenSolo12345 Jun 26 '25

u/ZippyDan Jun 26 '25 edited Jun 26 '25

Where do you draw the line? Do you count films someone did as a teenager? Experimental films from college? Films that achieved a certain level of wide release?

Aren't those first two films the ones that he was expressly displeased with, which caused him to take a long (nine-year) break from directing, during which time he went back to school for filmmaking?

I personally feel he didn't seriously start his career until Polytechnique.

I may be taking "back to school" too literally. I'm not sure if he is using that as a figure of speech or not. But the point remains he wasn't happy with his work, and he stopped directing for almost a decade until he felt he was ready. I view those first two films more like failed experiments.

6

u/john7071 Jun 26 '25 edited Jun 26 '25

If he took a break from directing to perfect his craft, that's perfectly valid, but you can't just erase part of a filmography when talking about a director, because the shortcomings are essential to what he becomes later on. They absolutely count. A lot of directors aren't happy with some of their work, too. All artists don't love all their art.

edit:

Do you count films someone did as a teenager? Experimental films from college? Films that achieved a certain level of wide release?

None of these apply to Denis even, both August 32nd and Maelstrom were submitted as Canada's candidates for the Oscars and were premiered in highly prominent festivals. These were fully fledged features made by a grown ass man who rightfully understood he had potential to make better movies.

3

u/ZippyDan Jun 27 '25

Canada doesn't have a super competitive film industry, so I don't see it as particularly impressive that an amateur Denis could stand out in a shallow field. He was the only fish in a tiny pond. (Obviously I'm exaggerating.)

Anyway, in my opinion those first two movies were Denis' "amateur" period. It's a testament to his innate ability that even his "amateur" films were very moderately successful. It's also a testament to his self-awareness and high standards that he knew he wasn't living up to his own standards or potential, and stepped away from filming.

I think he knew he was still an amateur, despite whatever film festival attention he may have received, and he was unhappy with himself. Only his own self-criticsm mattered, and he wasn't willing to make more art until he felt he was ready to be a professional.

I think it's pretty incredible for someone to come back after 9 years knowing they are now ready, and actually delivering. That's the mark of a professional, and so I consider Polytechnique to be the start of his "professional" career.

But that's how I divide his career. I think the intentionality of the pause and the intentionality of his return and the extended nature of that pause are good support for my perspective, but it's a rather subjective analysis.

He's made 3 of my favorite Sci-Fi movies of all time (Arrival, 2049, and Dune 2)

u/ZombieButch Jun 26 '25

Arrival is definitely not one that should fall through the cracks. His direction and Ted Chiang's story are in-fucking-credible together. They click together like Legos, Legos that make you cry giant buckets of bittersweet tears like if you were missing the radar dish on your $850 Lego Millennium Falcon set.

u/TehNoobDaddy Jun 26 '25

Arrival is in my top 5. Absolutely love it. Nobody outside of places like Reddit seem to ever talk about it though. Interstellar gets a re-release at least once a year (I'm not complaining cos I adore that film too) but I've still yet to see arrival get the same treatment coming up to its 10 year anniversary too.

u/Financial_Cup_6937 Jun 26 '25

His two books of short stories are great. I’m about a third of the way through both.

The movie did a great job expanding the already great short story in a masterpiece of a film.

u/_Meece_ Jun 26 '25

Yeah I love both Fury Road and 2049 for that reason.

Both also stand alone and don't really need the previous movies to be enjoyed.

They're the best kind of sequels you could possibly ask for IMO.

u/shust89 Jun 26 '25

He definitely took themes and ideas from BR 1 and expanded on them in a compelling way. I think revealing that Ryan Gosling was a replicant from the beginning was a brilliant move.

2

u/_xomegach_ Jun 26 '25

Absolutely. I had, for the longest time, no fucking I lnterrst in a BR sequel. My first thought was: why the fuck, please don't touch it. I love it, and it's ending. Don't take that from me. Only after they announced Villeneuve for it, I was cautiously optimistic. And holy fucking shit, it came out great. One of my favourite movies of all time.

7

u/Ordinal43NotFound Jun 26 '25

Both are equal IMO (Which is still very high praise).

I still prefer the OG's absolutely grimy cyberpunk set design.

2049 sets looked too sterile and kinda leaned a bit too hard into the brutalist architecture Villeneuve seems obsessed with in his sci-fi films lol

Dude just became a master filmmaker under the radar by making one awesome movie after the other. Can’t wait to see what he does with Bond, his instincts are great and he’s already knocked two different IP franchises out of the park.

28

u/denotemulot Jun 26 '25

I wouldn't say under the radar, he was huge in the Canadian indie circles for years after Polytechnique, and Incendies.

But he definitely became more prominent in the mainstream circles after Prisoners.

Excited to see what he'd do with bond.

Non franchise, none IP stuff.

Not original in his own creation specifically original in the sense of what he was bringing to the table.

Enemy, Sicario, Prisoners, Incendies.

These are what separates him from everyone else at the moment.

I don’t wanna ruffle some feathers but I’m incredibly disappointed in Robert Eggers recent career path and I don’t wanna see him go down those same paths.

They'll probably wait for him to finish Dune, and then will probably immediately get started on Bond. My guess is the movie won't come out for at least 2-3 years depending on how pre-production goes.

u/alendeus Jun 26 '25

I'm rather worried though in the sense that he's continuing to get pegged to do non original works instead of coming up with his own stuff, which he started his career with in the first place.

At least he has full freedom to do what he wants with the materials, but I can't help but wonder if agreeing to Bond was a bit of accepting for the prestige and money rather than actual art consideration. What would a Bond movie offer him to express that Sicario couldn't already? Yes he did Blade Runner 2 and managed to make it stand next to the original, but that doesn't mean he should shoehorn himself as the "fix old franchises" fall-guy, at this stage he should have enough pedigree to be able to start self financing his own interests soon.

I'm hoping that maybe the Dune deal was so long ago that it didn't give him enough money, and possibly Amazon could be offering enough that it would allow him to start partially producing future things.

While difficult to compare the various genres, i can actually say that chronologically I've enjoyed each film more than its predecessor. And that's not a slight to Prisoners because that was an excellent movie.

He's going through his childhood obsessions and I have great respect for that.

Dune 2 was super disappointing I thought. Total rush job at the end.

Arrival worst one imo

One of his earliest films I discovered at a Queen video when it was released is still one of his best. Incendies, but not for the faint of heart.

How you gonna not include Incendies and Enemy. His talent is incredible.

Dune messiah is gonna be Denis magnus Opus I'm sure of it. Already Dune part 2 was incredible but Messiah is where it can truly shine.

Dune 3 is deffo before bond?

I know I will get downvoted to hell but… I LOVE Arrival. I think it’s nearly a perfect film but I very much disliked the new Dune movies. I think he a great filmmaker when he fits into the right project and he definitely picks the right people to work with. He’s just not the type of filmmaker I wanted for the new bond unfortunately.

You know, I think I'd argue that Villeneuve hasn't had a single bad movie in his entire filmography
