Director Denis Villeneuve is well known for his brilliant work on the Dune franchise that takes fans to Arrakis and makes them root for a hero they aren’t certain about. His love for books and proficiency with the filmmaking craft have taken the franchise to new levels. Nonetheless, the director has given us some amazing movies across genres. Be it compelling thrillers like Prisoners and Sicario or futuristic cyberpunk features like Blade Runner 2049, his vision, character-driven narratives, and distinct storytelling keep fans glued to their seats.
Before Villeneuve made the Timothée Chalamet-led feature, he made another sci-fi hit that has a special place in fans’ hearts. The movie in question, starring Jeremy Renner and Amy Adams. The 2016 feature presents the concept of alien invasion differently from its peers at the time, giving the narrative almost a mythical quality and resonating deeply with its themes. We follow Adams as linguistics professor Louise, who leads an elite team of investigators when gigantic spaceships touch down in 12 locations around the world. To avert a global war, Banks and her crew must race against time to find a way to communicate with the extraterrestrial visitors. The 94 percent Rotten Tomatoes-rated film was a big commercial hit, earning $203.4 million worldwide and garnering eight Oscar nominations.
Titled Arrival, the movie’s brilliance lies in Eric Heisserer’s adapted screenplay from Ted Chiang’s novel Story of Your Life. Arrival uses the sci-fi premise to explore various human experiences and philosophical concepts, wrapping them in themes of communication, non-linear time, free will, and isolation. Fans who’d love to revisit the visually stunning feature are in luck; Arrival is getting a re-release on Blu-ray and 4K as a limited-edition Steelbook. The new formats are being released to celebrate the movie’s 10th anniversary.
What Do We Know About ‘Dune: Part 3’?
Dune: Part Three will conclude Paul Atreides’ story as we know it. While the plot details are tightly under wraps, recent trailers confirm it’ll take a significant time jump and will find Paul (Timothée Chalamet) in a different phase of life. The film brings back faces like Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Jason Momoa, Javier Bardem, Rebecca Ferguson, and more. While Anya Taylor-Joy (who had a small voice-only role in Dune: Part Two) and Robert Pattinson will also join the cast in significant roles.
Meanwhile, the Arrival steelbook will drop on September 8. The final installment of Dune is set for a December release. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
