1. Too weak, the film buff fell asleep before the end of the movie and died later. Gagnon said Villeneuve and Lapointe were disappointed that the man had not been able to see the end.

   > ” Denis Villeneuve and his wife Tanya, who is a producer, said, ‘OK, we could get him to come to Los Angeles.’ I said, ‘You don’t understand, he’s at the end of his life, there’s no way to move him. We don’t even know if he’s going to be here next week,'” said Gagnon in an interview on Radio-Canada’s Place publique.

   > Realizing that the man would not be able to go to the premiere, Villeneuve decided to send the movie directly to the municipality of Saguenay. Villeneuve’s assistant flew down to Quebec with the filmmaker’s laptop.

   > “[Villeneuve and Lapointe] said, ‘It’s for him, it’s for that man that we make films, it’s for the guy who said before he died, I want to see that film,'” she said.

2. That’s pretty fucking beautiful. Rest in peace to that guy.

3. Yay!! I’m so glad that gentlemen got to see it!

4. That is so awesome

5. Rough. My mom died in 2019, she was a huge sci-fi fan…Dune was one of her favorites. Wish she could have seen the movies…she would have hated them, lol.

   I thought they were great, though.
