Director Quentin Tarantino is not any stranger to robust opinions, and in a current interview, he revealed that he hadn’t seen both of Denis Villeneueve’s Dune films, and has no plans or need to.
In a brand new interview with acclaimed writer and screenwriter Bret Easton Ellis for his The Bret Easton Ellis podcast (through World of Reel), Tarantino revealed that he isn’t a fan of Hollywood’s need of remaking tales, and pointing to issues like Dune, Shogun, and Ripley as prime examples.
What did Quentin Tarantino say in regards to the state of remakes in Hollywood?
“I noticed [David Lynch’s] Dune a few occasions,” stated Tarantino. “I don’t must see that story once more. I don’t must see spice worms. I don’t must see a film that claims the phrase ‘Spice’ so dramatically.
In relation to different tasks, Tarantino would relatively creatives work on new tales, as an alternative of going to retell the identical tales time and again all through the years. In relation to the Ripley collection, he particularly wonders why the identical singular story is being informed, and likewise famous that for one thing like Shogun, he’d already seen the story, and has no must see it once more.
“It’s one after one other of this remake, and that remake. Individuals ask ‘have you ever seen Dune? Have you ever seen Ripley? Have you ever seen Shogun?’ And I’m like ‘no, no, no, no.’ There’s six or seven Ripley books, for those who do one once more, why are you doing the identical one which they’ve finished twice already? I’ve seen that story twice earlier than, and I didn’t actually prefer it in both model, so I’m not likely all for seeing it a 3rd time. In case you did one other story, that may be attention-grabbing sufficient to provide it a shot anyway.
“I noticed Shōgun within the ‘80s. I watched all 13 hours. I’m good. I don’t must see that story once more, I don’t care how they do it. I don’t care in the event that they take me and put me in historic Japan in a time machine. I don’t care, I’ve seen the story.”
