The director of the sci-fi film “Dune 2” Denis Villeneuve has warned that the ending of his film adaptation will be “more tragic” than the ending of Frank Herbert’s literary source material.

However, it is unclear whether the ending of “Dune 2” is more tragic because Denis Villeneuve himself believes it is, or whether he has substantially reworked the source material by changing the stories of the main characters. “I think the film adaptation is more tragic than the book. The way the second part ends creates a more complete balance in the development of Paul’s storyline, well, in what we could tell in the film Dune: Messiah,” the director shared, declining to elaborate on the details.

Director and screenwriter of the hit sci-fi action film “Godzilla -1.0” Takashi Yamazaki believes that his film is not a “direct response” to Christopher Nolan’s biopic “Oppenheimer”, but focuses on similar themes. In a recent interview, Takashi Yamazaki touched on discussions on the web in which viewers compared the theme of nuclear disaster and the resulting fallout raised in both films.

“I do not believe that “Godzilla -1.0” is a direct answer to “Oppenheimer” because both films touch on similar themes. So, if you haven’t appreciated both films yet, we wouldn’t advise you to watch them at the same time,” the director said in particular, admitting that due to the delayed release of “Oppenheimer” in Japan, he had to travel to Taiwan to see the historical drama.

The director of the 13 Oscar 2024 Oscar contender “Oppenheimer” Christopher Nolan has enough time for television series, and he has even decided on his favourite – the comedy “Curse”. The British director admitted that he is in full delight with the Showtime series, co-writer of the script and the performer of one of the leading roles in which he stars in “Oppenheimer” Ben Safdie.

According to Christopher Nolan, “Damnation,” which he called “an incredible show,” is unlike any TV project he has previously seen on TV. He compared the show, starring Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder, to David Lynch’s Twin Peaks and The Prisoner series, as well as the film The Singing Detective, and said that a TV project like this could only come about in this day and age – during the “anarchy of streaming”.

Archaeologists, geologists and historians from Spain have discovered that Europe’s largest dolmen, Cueva de Menga, represents one of the greatest engineering achievements of the Neolithic era. The results of the study are published in the journal Scientific Reports.

The megalithic structure Cueva de Menga, which is about 5,700 years old, is located in the vicinity of the town of Antequera in Spain. It was built on top of a hill from large stones, the largest of which weighs more than a hundred tonnes. In the new work, scientists analysed the composition of the stones to find out their origin and method of transport.
