There is probably no doubt that Dune: Part Two the most powerful sci-fi film of the year was. The sequel to the film adaptation of Denis Villeneuve’s novel is receiving a lot of support not only from fans, but also within the film industry. Dune 2 admirers include Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan. Cult filmmaker Quentin Tarantino recently made it clear that he would never watch the sci-fi epic.
Christopher Nolan celebrates Dune 2 as a miracle
According to Deadline, in a recent interview with Denis Villeneuve, Nolan spoke about how much he would love the Dune sequel. He referred to her as “a miracle of an adaptation” and explained:
To take the second half and one incredible conclusion to the story to accomplish. What a remarkable work.
The director also compared the new Dune film adaptation to Star Wars:
If Dune was like Star Wars to me, then Dune 2 The Empire Strikes Back is my favorite Star Wars film. I think it’s just a great expansion of everything that was introduced in the first part.
Nolan goes on to explain that what he particularly adores about Dune 2 is the many unique images and things that have never been seen in a film before.

Quentin Tarantino strictly rejects Dune 2
A while ago, Pulp Fiction director Quentin Tarantino spoke much less euphorically about the new Dune film adaptation. As a guest on American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis’ podcast, he stated that he wouldn’t watch another Dune film on principle, since the David Lynch film adaptation from 1984 already exists.
Villeneuve has already responded to this statement and stated that he would understand Tarantino’s rejection of the remake and would sign it. However, he would not view his Dune films as mere remakes, but rather complete remakes of the novel and therefore completely independent works.
