The Importance of Personal Stories in Dune

"I just wanted to make something with a weirdo Jake Gyllenhaal again. That's what I think he's been lacking." "It doesn't have that like intimacy of like authenticity and it's kind of weird" Villeneuve is better at dealing with more human stories, less like big epics like this. He actually got a lot of good character moments in there. This one's a little cold. Like his other movies have character stuff. But then watching it, I don't know. It feels like a really good fit".
