But where I disconcur is that what I did was not a reoriginate. It’s an changeation of the book. I see this as an innovative.”
Villeneuve inserted, “But we are very separateent human beings.”

“I saw [Lynch’s] Dune a couple of times,” Tarantino recently shelp on Bret Easton Ellis’ self-titled podcast. “I don’t necessitate to see that story aget. I don’t necessitate to see spice worms. I don’t necessitate to see a movie that says the word ‘spice’ so emotionalassociate.”
Tarantino persistd, “It’s one after another of this reoriginate, and that reoriginate. People ask ‘Have you seen Dune? Have you seen Ripley? Have you seen Shōarmament?’ And I’m enjoy, ‘No, no, no, no.’ There’s six or seven Ripley books: If you do one aget, why are you doing the same one that they’ve done twice already? I’ve seen that story twice before, and I didn’t reassociate enjoy it in either version, so I’m not reassociate interested in seeing it a third time. If you did another story, that would be engaging enough to give it a sboiling anyway.”
