Denis Villeneuve Looks To Have His First Post-Dune Movie In The Works, And I’m Both Absolutely Horrified And Intrigued By The Potential

Denis Villeneuve is on a hell of a run right now, and has been for some time. While Dune: Part Two is cleaning up as one of the earliest blockbusters from the 2024 movie schedule, the man’s been on a creative hot streak that, depending on who you talk to, spans his entire career. Now Villeneuve and studio Legendary Entertainment seem to have found their first post-Dune movie together, with a concept that both absolutely horrifies and intrigues me at the same time.

Legendary Has Acquired The Rights To Nuclear War: A Scenario

Per an announcement made through Deadline, Legendary has optioned the recent New York Times bestseller Nuclear War: A Scenario. Though the book was only released last Friday, “a deal worth $500,000 against $1.5 million” has been made for Legendary to acquire the rights. Part of the synopsis for the book is as follows:

Pulitzer Prize finalist Annie Jacobsen’s Nuclear War: A Scenario explores this ticking-clock scenario, based on dozens of exclusive new interviews with military and civilian experts who have built the weapons, have been privy to the response plans, and have been responsible for those decisions should they have needed to be made. Nuclear War: A Scenario examines the handful of minutes after a nuclear missile launch. It is essential reading, and unlike any other book in its depth and urgency.
