@gq: Last night, GQ honored #DenisVilleneuve as Director of the Year, with a screening and conversation at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles. In conversation with GQ's Zach Baron about the final installment of his #Dune trilogy, the director shared that the forthcoming film is "more emotional than the others," largely thanks to Chani, played by #Zendaya, serving as the story's moral compass. #GQMOTY
I think his take on dune is about parenting since the 1st movie

Before he took on doing the reboot of James Bond I was really hoping he’d be the guy to reboot the ‘John Carter’ / ‘Princess of Mars’ series and do what he did with dune

I love these movies and I have no problem with Denis’s take on Chani. He’s a master storyteller. I also don’t take umbrage with the warning against religious extremism. But I hope Paul’s struggle with the choice at the center of the “golden path” isn’t lost completely. Power is awful because it crushes the little people AND because it asks impossible questions.

Oh Denis the man that you are! As an avid reader and a huge fan of these books that I read at the age of 16, I was always hoping there would be a man or woman out there that is brilliant enough to adapt a movie or series through Chani’s perspective on Paul. That is how I pictured the story after reading Dune Messiah.

Zendaya’s biggest huge fan ♥️ :
i truly love Z and his version of chani, it gave her so much humanity, depth and most importantly something to fight for, to protect her people and herself from the prophecy

If Chani was a Paul glazer like in the books we the viewer wouldn’t have any objective feelings to Paul’s motives. Chani is a warning for us in the movies.

The fandom who hates Chani’s changes, proves Frank’s point about reader misunderstanding of the story. Denis is a master. Proving that point again.

My biggest worry is that Denis continuously perpetuates this myth that Messiah was written as a response to reader reactions to Dune. This is completely and verifiably false.
