For nearly a decade, Denis Villeneuve has reshaped the modern cinematic landscape of the science-fiction genre. The characters he’s created and adapted, and the actors he has cast for those roles, have since become trademarks of their respective franchises. Ryan Gosling is now just as synonymous with Blade Runner 2049 as he was with romantic comedies during the 00s. Most recently, Dune: Part Two has cemented Timothée Chalamet as the definitive Paul Atreides.
