Denis Villeneuve is set to reteam with Legendary Pictures on a feature adaptation of Annie Jacobsen’s nonfiction bestseller “Nuclear War: A Scenario.” Villeneuve made both of the “Dune” movies with Legendary. It’s assumed that the filmmaker would start work on “Nuclear War” after finishing the proposed third “Dune” movie, “Dune: Messiah.” According to the official synopsis, “Nuclear War” “explores this ticking-clock scenario, based on dozens of exclusive new interviews with military and civilian experts who have built the weapons, have been privy to the response plans, and have been responsible for those decisions should they have needed to be made.” The book was an instant New York Times and Los Angeles Times bestseller after debuting on March 26. |

After he's done making Paul Atreides a cautionary tale of the dangers of white supremacy?
Just wait for dune Messiah, he'll smash several different characters together and Chani will bear him no children and will be the hero all along. Also somehow Duncan will return.

Hopefully he will come here to Arfcom and learn from several members that nuclear war is really not that big of a deal and things will be back to normal before you know it.

Did he not get enough of the 100mph speed worm scenes that obviously were stolen effects from 1940s nuke test footage?

I don't see DV screwing up core characters that badly, even if he cast women to be leaders in what's essentially Bedouin culture. On the other hand, did anybody ever explain to Jason Momoa that playing Duncan Idaho is job security like not much else whether he likes it or not? |

I haven't read the book. But from my understanding, it's more of a facts based book. I'm not aware of there being a narrative story base to it, right? So how are you gonna do that and not call it a "Documentary"?
Anyway, it fits with the crazy times we're living in right now. DV is a fucking great director, he'll do a good job. |

DV is a fucking great director, he'll do a good job. It's a hypothetical scenario that starts with a North Korean nuclear strike on California. The events that follow it are based on interviews with the people that built the bombs, prepared the response plans and would have executed them. |
