Denis Villeneuven ohjaama tieteiselokuva Dyyni pitäisi saapua ensi-iltaan joulun alla 2020. CCTV:lle puhunut ohjaaja paljasti, että elokuvan loppuun saattaminen on ollut hyvin vaikeaa koronaviruksen aiheuttamien rajoitusten vuoksi. Asiasta kertoi Indiewire.
"I was planning to go back and shoot some elements later because I wanted to readjust the movie. I needed time. At the time I didn't know that it would be a pandemic...as we were about to go back to do those elements. The impact was that it crushed my schedule right now. It will be a sprint to finish the movie on time right now, because we were allowed to go back to shoot those elements in a few weeks...it meant also that I have to finish some elements of the movie, like VFX and the editing, being in Montreal as my crew stayed in Los Angeles."
Koronavirus on vaikeuttanut elokuvan leikkaamista, koska prosessin ohjaaminen on hankalaa etänä.
Dyyni perustuu tietenkin Frank Herbertin kirjoittamaan samannimiseen romaaniin, joka julkaistiin vuonna 1965.
"As a director there are things that can be done remotely to deal with technology. The supervision of VFX with some equipment is easy to do from afar but, editing, for me, the big lesson from this is I thought it would be possible to edit at a distance with my editor [Joe Walker] sharing equipment, being afar from the [one another], but I realize how much editing is like playing music with someone and you need to be in the same room. There's something about the interaction, human interaction, the spontaneity, the energy in the room. I really miss not being in the same room as my editor... it's very, very painful."
