Quentin Tarantino has a very specific reason for not watching Denis Villeneuve's Dune: "I don't need to see a movie that says the word spice so dramatically"

“I dont need to see that story again.

I dont need to see spice worms.

I dont need to see a movie that says the word spice so dramatically.”

“It’s one after another of this remake, and that remake.

People ask ‘Have you seen Dune?’

‘Have you seen Ripley?’

‘Have you seen Shogun?’

And Im like, ‘No, no, no, no.’

“Theres six or seven Ripley books.

If you do one again, why are you doing the same one that they’ve done twice already?

If you did another story, that would be interesting enough to give it a shot anyway.”

Tarantino continued: “I saw Shogun in the ’80s.

I watched all 13 hours.

I dont need to see that story again, I dont care how they do it.

I dont care if they take me and put me in ancient Japan in a time machine.

I dont care, Ive seen the story.”
