The filmmaker is circling the reboot amidst the Oscar buzz of his new movie 'Arrival' and the anticipation of his other film 'Blade Runner 2049'.
The new "Dune" movie is zeroing on Denis Villeneuve ("Sicario", "Blade Runner 2049"). According to Variety, the filmmaker who receives Oscar buzz for his new movie "Arrival" is in early negotiations to serve behind the lens for the upcoming remake at Legendary.
"Dune" is set in the distant future. It follows Paul Atreides whose family accepts control of the desert planet Arrakis. As the only producer of a highly valuable resource, control of Arrakis is highly contested among the noble families. After Paul and his family are betrayed, the story explores themes of politics, religion and man's relationship to nature as Paul leads a rebellion to restore his family's control of Arrakis.
Based on Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi novel, the first film coming out in 1984 was directed by David Lynch and led by his "Twin Peaks" star Kyle MacLachlan. In 2000, it was revived in a miniseries on Syfy.
