In 2016, it became known about plans for a new adaptation of Frank Herbert's work. As it turned out, Canadian director Denis Villeneuve dreams of making a film adaptation of "Dune". Then he released the fantasy film "Arrival" and worked on the sequel to the cult cyberpunk film "Blade Runner" - "Blade Runner 2049". No one, in principle, doubted that Villeneuve was the best candidate to direct the new Dune. The main question was: is it even possible to film this story in the format of a Hollywood blockbuster? In the distant future, the planets of the Milky Way galaxy are divided between aristocratic houses. House Atreides has ruled the green planet of Caladan for dozens of generations. But suddenly Duke Leto receives an order from the Padishah emperor to take control of the desert planet Arrakis. There, among the endless sands, lies the key to great wealth and real power. Spices are a hallucinogenic substance that interstellar flight pilots use to plot a course. Now Duke Leto must ensure their extraction, establish contact with the aboriginal Fremenil tribes and balance on the deadly sharp edge of big galactic politics. He arrives on a hot planet with his family and loyal vassals. Everyone is waiting for a collision with danger, and especially the Duke's young son Paul, who is haunted by strange and disturbing dreams. It's no secret that a test awaits on Atreides. But few people guess what its scale will be.
Denis Villeneuve is a master of slow and thoughtful fiction, and in the new "Dune" he remains true to himself. Together with cinematographer Greg Fraser, who shot the most realistic film of the new generation of "Star Wars" - "Rebel One", he does everything to make what is shown on the screen look as natural and real as possible. Of course, someone may dismiss slowness as a claim, but it is obvious that shooting meditative blockbusters is too rare a skill to leave someone indifferent. If you do not perceive this Villeneuve style, then you will see "Dune" as a long and boring film. But if you catch this rhythm, then the tape is able to make an absolutely hypnotic impression. Especially in combination with the music of maestro Hans Zimmer. Villeneuve shoots an epic, monumental and ramified, like the Old Testament. He acts with an uncompromising attitude that is admirable. 2.5 hours to become a character? Exactly. Villeneuve makes history and makes the audience his collaborators. As the author of "Game of Thrones" George Martin said: "Art is not democracy. People can't vote on how it ends," but we should not forget that the audience is quite capable of influencing when the screen journey of a particular work ends. In the end, you don't have to go far: when the Fox cable channel closed its series "Lucifer" after the third season, fans launched such an active campaign to extend the show that they received three additional seasons - already on the streaming platform Netflix. Whether we will see a sequel to "Dune" also depends on the audience and their activity. By and large, success at the box office becomes even more than an internal matter of the film - it is a test of the positions of the entire cinema industry, exhausted by 1.5 years of lockdowns and quarantine.
