“Amazing actor, amazing” Director Denis Villeneuve on Timothée Chalamet, Dune & cinema's importance. 

Pain box 🤣 Can we call it as it should? The gom jabbar scene 😊

Whoever did the screenplay for Dune really let him down

@@wearenotthewalkingdead How? it was the best and most accurate book to movie adaptation ive ever seen

@@sm0ky12 I actually agree, I loved the movie however most people who have come out of it are complaining because they don’t understand it, because they haven’t read the book. Although I’ve read the book I can definitely see how people would say that

@@wearenotthewalkingdead in my experience from watching Denis' films, he's not going to throw you everything about the important details in the beginning. Most his films are a slow build up. I didn't read the book but i thought the movie is great. I'm patient enough to wait for the next.

dune was bad

7 masterpieces within 8 years!!!

masterpiece thrown around a lil too loosely lol. a movie can be phenomenal without being a masterpiece

@@chamgod007 that's why I didn't put Enemy which also came out in that 4 year period, as in my opinion it's not a masterpiece. The other four, at least for me, definitely are

​@@dconaghan4465 to each their own! Personally love all his movies, but would only list prisoners as a masterpiece. Blade runner is right there too.

No. 5. Enemy.

Ego, along with fear, is the mind killer.

I mean, that’s literally impossible to do, but okay.

Exactly! I was just thinking about this yesterday. That's the main difference between Denis and Nolan, imo. Nolan has let his ego get in the way of his filmmaking in the last few years and it shows.

@@SnailHatan *laughs in Eckhart Tolle*

Exactly, man without ego, becomes one with the god. Ego is what seperate us from the infinite creator.

Watching him slowly bear down, get himself under control, battling through the pain and just staring down the Reverend mother….chills, man. “You WON’T beat me. I won’t let you. Give me your worst, and I will take it. Because I am stronger than you think I am. And yes; you should be scared of me.” The way you could see him center and focus as things just got worse was so damned cool. Kid is MAD talented.

Yeah the screaming is only in the trailer, the way it happens in the movie is much better.

...... Lol... High standards....

@@odile8701 no he aint.

When you read the book it explains this so well. Timothee did it well.

It’s happening. My best friend works in VFX in montréal and showed me emails. They are doing it.

@@chuckyb7851 until the Warner Brothers/Legendary pictures announce it, I won't believe it.

Yeah I was very hopeful for Bladerunner as well, I dearly love the first one but I feel like Arrival is stronger overall. So I was disappointed when Bladerunner underperformed, but something about it being a self-contained story wasn't so worrying. This with its previous mal-adaptions and the weight of a part 1, 2 and possible Dune Messiah and more riding on its shoulders made me worried about the box office as well. I was never all that concerned that Ridley Scott didn't really capture the tone of Philip K. Dick's book, but Villeneuve seems very tapped into that tonal aspect, which resonates very strongly with me. The sentimentality of a piece. So Philip K. Dick has an important message about humanity, modernization and surveillance, while Dune has immense things to say about systems of control, destiny, responsibility, masculinity and femininity. So I feel like this message is desperately needed for our culture and I want to see arthouse thrive in a semi-blockbuster environment. It's not just dumb action movies that should be made, but ones like this with powerful messages. To me, Quentin Tarrantino and Denis are two very different sides of the same coin. Both trying to deliver a stunning cinematic experience and both have immense appreciation for reference and source material. But where Quentin goes over the top, stylish, witty and both reverent/irreverent, Denis goes for the subtle, elegant, human and jaw-droppingly gorgeous. So I want Denis to get cemented in Hollywood and able to make whatever he wants in the same way that Quentin is.

Currently Gross worldwide $223,211,174, it cost 167 million to make, adding in marketing costs and take of what the theater will take its very close to breaking even and start making a profit. For a post covid 19 release its doing very well. Also have to add what ever it is making on HBO max, i'm thinking about buying a month of HBO max and watching it to give it some more money.

A geniuse

Exactly.

MY EXACT WORDS

I swear man, I had goosebumps

Makes me tear up every single time!

Have never forgotten this

hey all you folks with debilitating anxiety- this is a great quote to repeat to yourself when you feel your nerves holding you back. let that fear pass through you until it's just you and your objective.

@@heatherbukowski2102 Great advice

@@heatherbukowski2102 I have "I MUST NOT FEAR" tattooed on my arm. That saying got me through a lot of harm times.

@@aprilrichards762 Crazy how a simple mantra can make such a powerful difference in our lives. Affirmations really do help. Keep facing those fears, April. :)

Yeah man toally!! it made the interview looks almost magical fable!! beside both of them were very calme & passionate about Cinema!

Yes, just click 10:46 and watch it again...

@@pedro.almeida Thanks

It's from the beauty of Denis Villeneuve

What’s the song 🥺

her performance is just unbelievable, so so good

we live in that same dream, we become one, like Denis said.

Same.

She was very good, I agree, and her intrepidation towards something unknown, is how I would be.

She was definitely snubbed imo. Her choices have been subpar lately. Hoping to see she gets on stage to accept to that Best Actress award someday, because she's capable of that.

What's the name of the song from Arrival that they play at the end of this interview?

You say that as is he isn’t near the same age as Nolan

@@HiddenKeyElement On the Nature of Daylight

Imagine if Nolan, Denis, and paul blomkamp all made a movie together.

@@mentaltelepathy24 it would probably be a mess due to many different ideas colliding.

Some keep comparing him to Leo, but I think he's better. Timothee is just getting started. Gives me so much hope for the future of acting. Fuck the cookie cutter shit! More than being your character is to FEEL your character and react. Listen. Be honest! That's what Chalamet does.

How so? He just seems like yet another pretty boy. The film takes itself very seriously and much of the acting seems one-dimensional. I enjoyed it very much, particularly the cinematography and the soundtrack.

@@marchonore He's subtle...reminds me of Christian Bale in acting. I don't think he's "pretty" - just compelling by how he portrays in character.

@@marchonore Seen Blade Runner? 2001 Space Odyssey? Not much "emotional" range from most characters. This is not Star Wars with in your face action and such.

​@@UnopinionatedBystander2393 I'm a big fan of Leo (never his looks, just his acting), but yeah, Timothee might actually be better. It's hard to see his acting skills independently from his charisma, though. Not that I question his acting skills (just look at how different he seems from his characters irl, almost shy), it's just hard to separate them, because his charisma is INSANE. That's why, when people say the era of movie stars is over, I always think of Timothee. I guess my point is that the guy has the full package. It'll be really exciting to follow his career.

I was amazed at how he transformed over the course of the two films. At the beginning of Dune 1, he seemed to be playing into his own stereotype; but by the end of Dune 2, he'd become someone dangerous and powerful.

Apocalypse !! there's alots which one!? TY!!

@@KenneXS “Apocalypse Now”

@@cowieson Alright TY for the hint fella

Apocalypse Now is my favorite movie of all time, something that’s really personal to me, and Denis just really grew in my eyes

He even makes a reference to the film in Dune when the baron is rubbing his forehead it’s a nod to the scene in apocalypse now when Marlon Brando is doing the same thing

It got confirmed???? I’m so happy. I was worried it’d be a GoT situation where it had the potential to leave a cultural impact but it’s incompleteness leaves it in the past. Just streamed it last night, I still plan on watching it in IMAX and streaming it a few more times to support it as much as I can and for my own enjoyment.

Where are you seeing this announcement?? Can't find record of it anywhere online...

@@masonfikkert WB director said in a vague way that It got greenlit and also Josh Brolin earlier today in an interview said that they are going to start filming part 2 in summer.

@@muthiscocuq8berq Oh okay, awesome!!

thanks for that it was a concern of mine as I knew I would be invested in the characters like in GOT. and want to see more. very good news indeed.

It truly is a beautiful film! Pure Epic . Everyone needs to see this movie and give the support for part two!

Lucky bastard! Even on my cellphone it was stunning. I feel like Paul was the weakest of the bunch. Also the ending just seemed so sudden to me.

@@dianapennepacker6854 go to the Theatre. You will thank me.

I too would recommend seeing it in imax, it is fantastic seeing it on such a big screen! When I saw it the 1st time, I was definitely captivated by the story. I appreciated him taking a different take to it then the previous 2 iterations.

Agreed. I actually watched it a second time in IMAX because I knew it would hit different. It was totally worth it!

I was thinking the same thing like wow so profound..humans were not ment to be isolated...sharing the movie experience there's nothing like it...I totally agree

the song is called 'on the nature of daylight' by max richter.

DUNE DOS GAME 1992

I also couldn't get enough of them, such an amazing design!

Was thinking the same thing. Why invent something new when we know the dragonfly is the best interceptor, in development for 100 million years. You cant beat that...

@@skoomamuch356 Yeah! Played this game to death. My longest session ever. Started at 2am and finished at 2am the next day. Inmediatly got hungry, tired and had to use the bathroom. I was totally zoned out.

No shit sherlock

So crushing to see K think he is "the one"

I feel the same way about 2049 and Dune is just as good in every way!!

Greatest sequel ever made. Even better than SW ESB in my book.

You will NOT be disappointed friend. Absolutely amazing art.

He's definitely throwing the idea out there lately. Fingers crossed.

God no I hope not. Bond is overdone. Overcooked. Burnt archaic action bullshit.

i'd give that to Nolan, I feel like Nolan needs "easy" narratives to work with right now, I loved all his movies but TENET....idk a bit overkill and dense

@@olderloverxx yeah, but consider the gravitas and grit that he could inject..... might be excellent if its in 5 years and it's Chalamet as bond....

@@Ryan-Fkrepublicnz I hear ya... But I'm so done with James Bond and any future Bond movies.

He started directing at a young age, wasnt happy about his creations, took a break from directing and stayed at home for 9 years to take care of his kids and returned in full force and hasnt made a bad movie since. Such a hero and down to earth person. Im such a fan!

@@vincentkrommenhoek7431 That's really cool!

People need to watch this in the theaters! And support part two !

gotta say I am almost certainly going to...

I did, and it was very profitable. Some films are good for a second watch, and I am not talking about not understanding the first time which is stupid (Tenet hehe), but about noticing details, in directing, the shots, some actings, some particularly rich lines etc. Second time was a pleasure for me.

He's got to be the best out there atm he kills every interview

Yes I was just about to say - I LOVE all his questions. They’re all personalized and thoughtful, not the usual bland questions you get from your average interviewers. He also reflected wonderfully to Denis’ response, making the whole interview more of a 2-way conversation than a Q&A session. Well done!

Yup. Or take a crack at Ghost in the Shell and put that last live action remake in the dirt just like he did with lynch’s Dune.

Ohhh, your comment gave me shivers

Don't think an adaptation of Akira is even necessary. But I get your point.

Honestly, I think Tom Holland is a great MCU Spider-Man. He's better at the light-heartedness stuff, I think, than Timothee would be in the MCU, though obviously Timothee's absolute command over his face would have made him better at the dramatic moments. Timothee is probably the overall better actor, but I think Tom was a better fit for that particular role.

Beautiful piece of music, joyful and sad in equal measure.

@@fattysl26 what music is it exactly? It’s annoying me because I know I’ve heard it in a film before but can’t remember which one

@@connormckenna5972 It was in his other film Arrival

@@fattysl26 yeah I found it it’s in shutter island as well. It’s called on the nature of daylight by Max Richter

I'll never forget watching Incendies for the first time. Such a heartbreaking, yet beautiful movie.

Yeah, that kinda wrecked me lol

you will love it.

you might want to see it again. That one is complicated and I appreciated it the second time more or at least as much...

Also made me cry like a baby :')

Good actor indeed but not right for this role

@@beyondxxl strong disagree

@@beyondxxlstrong disagree (2)

hell yeah. Agreed! What Cinema is all about!
