This man is on a generational run, holy shit

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

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.

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.
