Denis Villeneuve gushed over Christopher Nolan during Prisoners, and it turns out Nolan had the same feelings toward Villeneuve while making Oppenheimer.
Denis Villeneuve's Dune movies are very faithful to Frank Herbert's novel, but that doesn't mean that the two films don't feature some key changes from the source material.
Dune: Part Two has been earning raves from critics in the run up to its release, and Christopher Nolan has even compared the movie to one of the greatest sequels of all time: Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
Had it come out on its original release date, Dune: Part Two would have been crowned the best movie of 2023, but it will instead likely end up being remembered as the best movie of 2024.
