Dear Mr. Deakins,
Denis Villeneuve is the perfect director to bring Miyamoto Musashi’s legendary story to life. His signature slow-burn intensity, breathtaking cinematography, and deep philosophical themes would make for an unforgettable Samurai epic.
Why now (or soon)?
- Musashi’s story has never been truly brought to Hollywood in a major film.
- Eiji Yoshikawa’s novel „Musashi“ is one of the most celebrated historical books in Japan.
- Hollywood is bringing back grand historical epics (Gladiator 2, Nolan’s „The Odyssey“).
- Villeneuve is already a master of visually stunning and deeply philosophical cinema (Dune, Blade Runner 2049).
Would Denis be the right director for this? I think yes! What do you think, Mr. Deakins? Any chance you could pitch that idea to Denis or discuss it with the right guests in your podcast?
P.S. I hope I was able to spark a fire inside of you for that idea!
