Quentin Tarantino has not seen the films from Denis Villeneuve's "Dine" series and has no intention of doing so, despite positive reviews.
During an interview with "The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast", the famous director was asked if he thinks "Dune: Part Two" is the best movie of the year, as many claim. He didn't have an answer, because he says he doesn't plan to look at it.
"I've seen David Lynch's 'Dune' several times. I don't need to watch that story again... I don't need a movie that repeats the word 'spice' so dramatically," he replied.
Tarantino has nothing against Villeneuve, he's just not interested in watching a story he's already introduced to, because he's already devoted time to the original material.
"It all boils down to this remake and that remake. People ask me: Have you seen 'Dine'? Have you seen 'Ripley'? Have you seen 'Shogun'? And I'm like no, no, no, no. There are six or seven Ripley books. If you're making one again, why are you making the same one they've already done twice, and I didn't really like it in either version, so I'm not interested in seeing it a third time made another story, that would be interesting enough to give it a chance. I watched all 80 hours. I don't need to watch that story again, I don't care "I don't even care if they send me to ancient Japan. I don't care, I've already seen that story," the director said.
