Following " Dune 2" and " Godzilla vs. Kong ", Legendary Pictures has acquired the film and television adaptation rights for the non-fiction literary work "Nuclear War: Script of Destiny" and is preparing to put it on the big screen. . Obviously, the company hopes that Villeneuve, the current screen darling, will continue to work for the company after finishing "Dune 3", preferably as the director of the "Nuclear War" project.
"Nuclear War" is a new work by American investigative journalist Anne Jacobson. The book explores nuclear weapons development plans, the decision-making paths of relevant parties, and how a nuclear war will be staged. If the Oscar-winning "Oppenheimer" opened the fire of hell, "Nuclear War" depicts the terrifying scene of the fire of hell devouring human civilization - during the peak of the Cold War confrontation, the time window left for all parties to screen and make decisions In only half an hour, the nuclear war will be over in two hours, and the modern civilization that people rely on for survival will no longer exist.
I was delighted to hear that Bullfrog may take over the adaptation. As a fan of Bullfrog and the original author, Anne was very excited:
In an interview last month, Villeneuve claimed that he had four projects on hand that have yet to be completed, in addition to "Dune 3" and "Cleopatra" In addition to "After", there is also a secret project that has not yet been announced. The scripts of these projects have not yet been submitted. It is too early to discuss the prospects of the projects now.
Legendary Pictures' "Dune 2" has grossed US$637 million worldwide, and its new film "Godzilla vs. Kong" has grossed US$251 million at the global first-week box office. The market potential cannot be underestimated. If Villeneuve can complete "Dune 3" as he wishes, the win-win cooperation between the two parties is expected to continue, and the Bullfrog version of "Nuclear War" is about to break out.
