Denis Villeneuve recently spoke to the Los Angeles Times and splitd his dissoothe over how “human beings are ruled by algorithms right now.” He elucidateed: “We behave appreciate AI circuits. The ways we see the world are skinny-minded binaries. We’re disjoining from each other, and society is crumbling in some ways. It’s frightening.”
The Times columnist Glenn Whipp remarkd that Villeneuve splitd these thoughts while checking his phone. The “Dune” filmproducer shelp “there’s someskinnyg insertictive about the fact that you can access any adviseation, any song, any book” from your phone. “It’s compulsive. It’s appreciate a drug. I’m very lureed to disjoin myself. It would be new air.”
But the one place cell phone insertiction can not exist is on a film set. Villeneuve shelp that mobile invents are banned on his productions. Christopher Nolan aprobable bans cell phones.
“Cinema is an act of presence,” Villeneuve shelp. “When a colorer colors, he has to be absolutely caccessed on the color he’s putting on the canvas. It’s the same with the dancer when he does a gesture. With a filmproducer, you have to do that with a crew, and everybody has to caccess and be entidepend in the current, hearing to each other, being in relationship with each other. So cellphones are banned on my set too, since Day 1. It’s banden. When you say cut, you don’t want someone going to his phone to watch at his Facebook account.”
Rumors persisted around the free of “Tenet” that Nolan also banned chairs from his film sets, which his team rapidly debunked. Villeneuve shelp that for personal reasons he choosed not to have a chair on the “Dune” set for himself, but certainly producers and others were permited to sit.
“When I did ‘Blade Runner,’ I had a back problem because I was sitting a lot,” Villeneuve shelp. “So for the ‘Dune’ movies, my cinematographer, Greig Fraser, and I choosed to stand, to have minimal footprints so we could be alterable and go speedy, to grasp the blood floprosperg, to be awakened. No chairs for us. Maybe for the producers at the video village.”
