Denis Villeneuve shares thoughts on Marvel movies.

The reaction to his comments on Twitter is entertaining that's for sure.

I actually think directors like Denis are a part of the problem. I adore Blade Runner 2049 and it’s my favorite sci fi movie since Jurassic Park. But Dune, as much as I want to see it, does look like an indie film with a massive budget and that type of thing never made money in Hollywood. Pick whatever era you like there was no time when a movie like this was going to be a huge hit. It’s a fallacy that one must chose between mass appeal and creative integrity. It’s your job as a filmmaker to find the balance. And to blame superhero movies when you fear that you are about to fail is pathetic.

I don’t know. I think it’s a bit tacky for creative professionals to publicly attack other creative professionals. Especially when they clearly have an agenda to create publicity for their own project.

Haha it's funny because when I watched his Dune trailer it has the same Marvel humour, the Paul Atreides IronMan battle suit and Jason Momoa's character looks like he's been cut and paste straight out of a Marvel movie himself. He's a fucking hypocritical idiot.

Why did that user like your post?

If that's what you find funny then good for you.

I've been a huge defender of Blomkamp, I really wanted to see him succeed but he's gone downhill since District 9. He's attributed it to studio intervention so I gave him benefit of the doubt, and enjoyed his short youtube films but he completely lost me with Demonic. If Demonic was a youtube short and condensed to 20-30 minutes it could've been good, but frankly after seeing the final release I have very little interest to see what Blomkamp does next. I love the Alien franchise and agree that I would've rather seen a 5th release than Chappie. Worst case scenario it would've been another poor Alien flick but who knows, maybe that materiel would've clicked with him.
