If Blade Runner is a success


With films like Incendies, Prisoners, Enemy and Sicario under his belt, if his Blade Runner film is as intense as Prisoners and Sicario were...then he will be offered everything, from TV, HBO, Netflix, Big budget hollywood movies.

He'll be labeled as a mixture of David Fincher meets Christopher Nolan. I mean that as a compliment. And he'll become a household name.

he's already there, after Prisoners and esp Incendies, which is a ground breaking film that he got an Academy award nom for best foreign film... he's fast track, he's already got his shot... even if Blade Runner 2 fails, which it won't with Ridley Scott producing and having final cut authority, he will get offers for the rest of his career slam dunk

he was golden before Sicario

It's not so complicated. Quebec French (Mr. Villeneuve's mother tongue) is my first language as well and I guess the closest way to pronounce his name without sounding like you don't know what you're talking about is...

DA-KNEE (first name) VILLE-NERVE (surname, with the "NERVE" part pronounced with a neutral-ish English accent, with the R barely pronounced.)

I think he has got own cinematic techniques so different from Fincher and Nolan.
