      Why? He directed Sicaro, and that turned out pretty well. The same goes for Dune, Arrival, and Bladerunner. Not saying everything he’s done is amazing, but he seems to know what he’s doing.

        Said it above but I am disappointed he’s working on Bond. Would rather see him do really anything else.

        Sicario and Arrival were great successes that I thoroughly enjoyed. The atmospheres of Dune and Bladerunner were perfect but the stories felt like hollow shells of the originals. Maybe he should just stick to original productions.

          I think that’s just more the nature of adaptations. Dune is an incredibly difficult story to adapt, and his version is the best adaptation that currently exists. It’s also subjective and your opinion is hardly the consensus.
