This week was the 1 year anniversary of the first Dune image, of Paul walking on Caladan. How far we’ve come! Relive the magic of Timothee’s tweet.
Great interview with Eric Roth on co-writing the Dune (2021) script. Roth said he’d worked with Denis on Arrival and Denis asked him to take a crack at Dune, “And I did, and I wrote a big, full, overwritten Eric Roth draft that had certain things special to me. It needed to be, honestly, cut down and sort of harnessed, and Denis did some of that, and they eventually brought in a writer — I was busy, so they brought in a writer named Jon Spaihts, who is a wonderful writer, who I think kept it grounded. And I think he... I don't want to say Lord of the Rings, but I think it's really pretty spectacular. He’s a visionary of his own kind, Denis.” Read the full interview at Collider.
