The upcoming live-action adaptation of Dune<\/strong><\/em> has reportedly been pushed back to Oct. 1st, 2021. The film is directed and co-written by Denis Villeneuve<\/strong>, who’s best known for directing Blade Runner 2049<\/em><\/strong>, Arrival<\/strong><\/em>, and Sicario<\/em><\/strong>. Warner Bros.<\/strong> and Legendary Pictures<\/strong> made the decision to delay the film after the recent news of Cineworld<\/strong> planning to shutdown theaters in the U.S. and U.K. for an unspecified amount of time.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be the second film adaptation since director David Lynch<\/strong> (Twin Peaks, Mulholland Dr<\/em>.) gave us his take on the classic novel by Frank Herbert<\/strong> in 1984. That being said, you can expect a major upgrade in the special effects department when it releases next year. Villeneuve is known for utilizing CGI when it can improve a scene, Blade Runner 2049<\/em> had CGI in practically ever scene of the movie but never looked out of place or too busy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
