"Dunk"

In fiction, especially Sci-Fi, you have all these future and alien societies with distinct monocultures. An entire planet with one race, one religion and so on. But in real life we see that even a single continent can have entirely different views on life, mythologies and everything inbetween. And I wonder, is such a thing even possible? In a far along time will everything be simplified and become "one"? How come authors never create races and civilisations more akin to real life counterparts instead of this cliche? I don't, can you envision a future where we all look like Latinos, speak French, have Greek Mythology as our founding myth and worship Buddha, as everything else fades to obscurity? I can't imagine such a thing coming to fruition and yet it's such a popular trope.

Villeneuve is an amazing director with a great ability to create otherworldly awe through imagery and sound (Blade Runner 2049, Arrival). He's also great at centering performances to anchor films while, at the same time, making them feel like part of a larger thematic universe (Sicario, Enemy). He's a perfect choice for something like Dune (and his early catalog are worth watching as character studies with tight-focused narratives).

Dune is, arguably, Lynch's greatest failure as a director. It's the reason he was never again trusted with a large budget and chose to work largely outside the Hollywood system. He just isn't capable of creating a blockbuster; he's at home using dream logic to make esoteric films that demand a lot from their audiences.

Anyway, this is /lit (not /tv). With the Pandemic, it's highly likely that Dune won't recoup its budget and we'll probably never see Villeneuve adapt the second half of the book (let alone any of its sequels). It's likely OP won't see a cinematic adaptation of the full novel, let alone the series of novels, until they try again another 3+ decades from now.
