Josh Brolin says he will quit acting if Denis Villeneuve isn't nominated for an Oscar for Dune: Part Two.The actor starred in the first installment of the sci-fi film in 2021 as well as this years sequel playing Gurney Halleck, who mentors Timothee Chalamets character Paul Atreides, and hes adamant the director needs to be recognized at the upcoming Academy Awards.He told Variety: If he [Villeneuve] doesnt get nominated this year, Ill quit acting. It was a better movie than the first one ... when I watched it, it felt like my brain was broken open. Its masterful, and Denis is one of our master filmmakers. If the Academy Awards have any meaning whatsoever, theyll recognize him.DUNE 2Warner Bros.loading...It comes after the director recently revealed hes been hard at work preparing for the third movie in the series and insisted the first two films are two parts of the same story while number three, Dune: Messiah, takes place more than a decade after the events of the first two.He told Deadline: Lets say that I thought that after Part Two that I will take a break, that I will go back in the woods and stay in the woods for a while to recover. But the woods werent really suiting me, and I would go back behind the camera faster than I think. But thats all I can say... Im in the writing zone right now.He added of his plans for the third film: For me [the first two films are] like one entity. Its a movie made in two parts. Its finished, its done ... with Dune: Messiah, I think itll be a great idea to do something completely different. The story takes place like 12 years after where we left the characters at the end of Part Two.Their journey, their story is different this time, and thats why I always say that while its the same world its a new film with new circumstances."He added the next movie will finish the Paul Atreides arc.Get our free mobile appFuturistic Sci-Fi Movies That Are Now Set In The PastWhen these sci-fi movies came out, they offered predictions for the future of society years later, they're officially set in the past.Filed Under: Alexis Denisof, Denis Villeneuve, Dune, Dune: Part Two, Josh BrolinCategories: Movie News
