Quentin Tarantino Swears Off Watching Dune

He’s out on the new Denis Villeneuve flick

The acclaimed director has criticized the film

Rumors spread when Tarantino was quoted as saying, “I’m not interested in watching Dune.” The context of the quote was him criticizing the size of the film’s cast: “There’s too many characters. I don’t want to watch a bunch of characters running around on the screen.”

Tarantino has a point. The new Dune film boasts a star-studded cast that includes Timothee Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgard, Dave Bautista, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Zendaya, David Dastmalchian, Chang Chen, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, Charlotte Rampling, Jason Momoa, and Javier Bardem.

It’s a lot of people to keep track of. Even the biggest fans of the book may have trouble keeping up with everyone’s motivations and relationships.

Tarantino’s comments have sparked a debate among fans. Some people agree with him, arguing that the film is too crowded and confusing. Others defend the film, saying that the large cast is necessary to tell the story of the novel effectively.

Ultimately, it’s up to each individual viewer to decide whether or not they enjoy Dune. The film is certainly ambitious, and it’s bound to divide audiences.
