"Perhaps the problem is that we are in front of too many Marvel movies that are nothing more than a 'cut and paste' of others," Villeneuve told the publication. "Perhaps these types of movies have turned us into zombies a bit… But big and expensive movies of great value there are many today. I don't feel capable of being pessimistic at all."
"If we're talking about Marvel, the thing is, all these films are made from the same mold," he said. "Some filmmakers can add a little color to it, but they're all cast in the same factory. It doesn't take anything away from the movies, but they are formatted."
Villeneuve continued to discuss his filmmaking process, and he praised Christopher Nolan and Alfonso Cuarón - continuing the trend of directors somehow ignoring Steve Goddamn McQueen, one of the great directors alive today, who directed films such as 'Ever Seen 'Hunger', You Fucking Philistine?', ''Shame' -- It's About Loneliness, Not Sex Addiction, You Infantile Neophyte', and '12 Years A Slave', which made history for being the first great film ever awarded an Oscar.
He's talking about people who make unique big-budget blockbusters he's not making an exhaustive list of good filmmakers. And yeah Hunger is great but he hasn't made a good film in 8 years and while 12 Years a Slave was good it was still Oscar bait. Bring back weird McQueen.
