En af årets mest ventede film er uden tvivl den nye fortolkning af Frank Herbets science fiction-roman fra 1965, Dune. Jo, bogen blev filmatiseret af David Lynch for mange år siden, men denne gang er det Denis Villeneuve der sidder bag kameraet, og man kan vist ikke sige andet end at har haft enorm vind i sejlene med film som Arrival, Blade Runner 2049 og Enemy.
Dune skulle gerne udkomme i de danske biografer d. 17 december, men det lader nu til at der er en mulighed for at det ikke sker. I et interview med Indiewire forklarer Villeneuve, at de lige nu sprinter for at få filmen gjort klar, og det skyldes naturligvis COVID-19.
"I was planning to go back and shoot some elements later because I wanted to readjust the movie. I needed time. At the time I didn't know that it would be a pandemic...as we were about to go back to do those elements. The impact was that it crushed my schedule right now. It will be a sprint to finish the movie on time right now, because we [will be] allowed to go back to shoot those elements in a few weeks... it meant also that I have to finish some elements of the movie, like VFX and the editing, being in Montreal as my crew stayed in Los Angeles."
Det virker som om at det bliver svært, men man skal måske aldrig sige aldrig. Vi venter desuden stadig på den første trailer fra filmen.
