A leaked script of Denis Villeneuve’s DUNE had been going around lately. @BurnettRM had a chance to read it. He gave his review/impressions on the script on his live stream, but Warner Bros. took it down. Here’s what he have to say about it. (A thread)
- He& #39;s thrilled with what he’s read, saying it’s a fantastic adaptation of the source material.
- It& #39;s very "adult" and "goes for it".
- The script spends a lot of time with the Lady Jessica and Paul Atreides together.
- Gotten major Godfather vibes from reading it.

- It completely expands all of the characters deep-dive development , and you learn far more about the world building and universe than any previous adaptations.
- It is very intellectual, although there are a lot of action scenes in it.
