As expected, “” turned out to be . But the first part has already ignited the imagination of fans around the world. Villeneuve kept the details of the film a secret, but the information he skillfully revealed to viewers only fueled the atmosphere of anticipation. Until the premiere day, no outsider could see the production on which the director had been working with the crew for the last two years. Nobody but one terminally ill man in Canada.
Denis Villeneuve fulfilled the wish of a terminally ill man
The story of the dying man was told in the Canadian media by Josee Gagnon, founder of a foundation specializing in fulfilling the last wishes of terminally ill patients. “L’Avant” received a report from a 50-year-old man staying in a hospice near Quebec. He claimed that his greatest dream was to see the second part of “Dune” before he died. He knew he wouldn’t see the film’s February release. Representatives of “L’Avant” asked their followers on social media if they had contact information for someone who had contact information for someone, and that someone somehow had contact information for Denis Villeneuve. A real chain of people of good will was launched – the organization managed to reach the director and his wife directly.
They initially suggested that they would organize a private movie screening for the man – in Montreal or Los Angeles, where intensive preparations for the upcoming film premiere were underway. The foundation’s representative had to refuse – the patient was too weak to travel. Since they were pressed for time, they chose the simplest option.
On January 16, the director’s assistant flew to Quebec with his private laptop. A tiny cinema was set up in a room in a hospice over 200 kilometers north of the city.
“We gave away our cell phones, signed loyalty agreements, closed the curtains. He started the screening with someone to help him by his side. He was so weak that we thought he would die during the movie. He didn’t have the strength to watch it to the end, but it didn’t matter anymore. Briefly. he later died, taking the secret of the film to his grave”
– writes Josee Gagnon from “L’Avant” on social media.
