Denis Villeneuve to direct "Dune" reboot
"It has been rumored for a while that Legendary Pictures had been courting Sicario and Arrival director Denis Villeneuve for their upcoming Dune reboot. Now in under 140 characters, Brian Herbert (son of Dune author Frank Herbert) has confirmed that the contracts have all been signed, and Villeneuve will be directing."
Comments
It'll never work.
Nothing by Villeneuve has really been a hit for me.
But if he got this to work I'd be in awe.

Boy, that was confusing! I was about to start arguing with people who doubted Villenueve, like, "did you SEE Blade Runner 2049?" and then I realized those comments were from early 2017. I don't know anything about Dune, but I'm definitely looking forward to this project. Now I just don't know if I should watch the original before it comes out or go in with a fresh perspective?

Edit: fuck it, I'm watching it. My French is good enough to get the gist of Seydoux, but I wish my Spanish was better. Jodorowsky speaks Spanish about 30% of the time.
Jodorowsky: "I've got my script, now I have to find my warriors. Every person who works on this film will be a spiritual warrior."
