Spice Up Your Life

.
Last night at MoMA I saw another screening of The Witch with the director Robert Eggers there (see a picture of the director on my Instagram) and he briefly mentioned the fact that his next project is a new version of Nosferatu - he called himself narcissistic for even trying it, but it's been his dream forever and a day. I thought of that reading today's news that Denis Villeneuve, whose excellent film Arrival is in theaters right now and whose sequel to Blade Runner is getting a big press push right now, is in talks to make a new movie out of Frank Herbert's Dune. Dune has been a dream project of Villeneuve's forever too, apparently. And I say go for it - nobody's been able to make a good movie out of it, not even David Lynch, and he put Sting in metal bikini briefs.
