Quentin Tarantino is one of the most beloved film directors of our time, especially for Pulp Fiction (which recently turned 30). The filmmaker is also well known for having strong takes about popular movies lately, such as saying he’d never see more Toy Story movies after the third one and saying he “really, really liked” Joker 2. Tarantino also revealed recently that he’ll never watch Denis Villeneuve’s Dune movies, and the director has now responded.

When Quentin Tarantino was on The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast last week, the filmmaker shared that he’d yet to see either Dune movies helmed by Villeneuve and wasn’t planning on it because he’d already seen David Lynch’s version from 1984. Tarantino said he “didn’t need to see any more spice worms” and in a broader sense is not interested in remakes. Here’s how Villeneuve reacted:

I don’t care. It’s true. I agree with him that I don’t like this idea of recycling and bringing back old ideas. But where I disagree is that what I did was not a remake. It’s an adaptation of the book. I see this as an original.
