Dune release date schedule 'CRUSHED' as Denis Villeneuve details pandemic struggles

“It has been made in an unusual way, which means that we did the main shooting, and then I edited part of the movie, and then I was planning to go back to shoot some elements later because I wanted to readjust the movie.”

Unfortunately, this was when the coronavirus really got moving across North America, forcing the film to cease production.

“As the virus hit,” Villeneuve continued. “I was going to go back and do those elements, so the impact was that it crushed by schedule right now.”

Although things looked as if they were going well, Villeneuve sounded a little despondent after this enormous delay.
