The Emmy award-winning filmmaker shares praise for the latest adaptation.
Frank Herbert's Dune novel from 1965 earned praise for decades among the sci-fi crowd, thanks in large part to its dense mythology and sprawling scope. The only drawback to the expansive nature of the book is it didn't lend itself to being easily adapted into live-action, which is one reason David Lynch's 1984 Dune was largely considered a disappointment.
He added,"And I hope it does introduce a whole new audience to the Dune world. If they are able to get back and see my miniseries, I'm very proud of them. We were able to ... I think the success of them, they won a couple of Emmys and they were hugely successful here and abroad. I think they gave people faith that Dune actually could be adapted again."
While speaking with French outlet Cahiers du Cinéma earlier this year, on the topic of Villeneuve's Dune, Lynch replied,"I will never watch it, and I don't even want you to tell me about it, ever."
