Steven Spielberg has heaped praise on the "brilliant" 'Dune: Part Two'.
The legendary director – who has helmed classics including 'E.T. The Extra Terrestrial' – has described Denis Villeneuve's epic as one of the best sci-fi movies that he has ever seen.
During an appearance on DGA's 'Director's Cut' podcast alongside Villeneuve, Spielberg said: "It's an honour for me to sit here and talk to you.
"This is truly a visual epic, and it’s also filled with deeply, deeply drawn characters.
"Yet the dialogue is very sparse when you look at it proportionately to the running time of the film. It’s such cinema. The shots are so painterly, yet there’s not an angle or single setup that’s pretentious … you have made one of the most brilliant science fiction films I have ever seen."
Spielberg reserved acclaim for the special effects in the desert-set flick, which stars Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya and Rebecca Ferguson.
The 77-year-old filmmaker said: "This is a desert-loving story, but for such a desert-loving film there is such a yearning for water in this movie.
"For all the sand you have in this film, it’s really about water. The sacred waters that are yearning for green meadows and the blue water of life.
"You film the desert to resemble an ocean, a sea. The sandworms were like sea serpents. And that scene surfing the sandworms is one of the greatest things I have ever seen. Ever! But you made the desert look like a liquid."
Spielberg also described Denis as one of the best directors in the history of Hollywood.
The 'Jaws' director explained: "Let me start by saying there are filmmakers who are the builders of worlds. It’s not a long list and we know who a lot of them are. Starting with [Georges] Melies and [Walt] Disney and [Stanley] Kubrick, George Lucas. Ray Harryhausen I include in that list.
"[Federico] Fellini built his own worlds. Tim Burton. Obviously Wes Anderson, Peter Jackson, James Cameron, Christopher Nolan, Ridley Scott, Guillermo del Toro. The list goes on but it’s not that long of a list, and I deeply, fervently believe that you are one of its newest members."

Simon Cowell has been shocked by the longevity of 'America's Got Talent'.
The 64-year-old music mogul launched the hit TV show back in 2006, and he's been amazed by the enduring popularity of the format, having initially doubted whether 'America's Got Talent' would succeed or not.
Speaking to 'Extra' about the first season of the show, Simon shared: "Thank god it did well.
"Now we are here, 20 years later and now … you get people … flying in from all over the world.
"They only get two minutes, remember that, you're gonna fly 16 hours and you've got two minutes and you don't know what's going to happen. But we are seeing things that we've genuinely never seen before."
Simon has enjoyed huge success with various TV talent shows in the US and the UK, and he remains as ambitious as ever.
Asked if he plans to create another reality competition show, Simon replied: "Am I? Yes."
Despite this, Simon previously claimed that working five days a week is "pointless".
The TV star revealed that he's found a much healthier work-life balance in recent years.
Speaking to PEOPLE, Simon advised: "Don't work on Fridays, because you don't have to. Eat dinner at five o'clock. Don't take calls after 5:30. Don't read emails after 5:30. Watch a happy movie and stay outside."
Simon has recently made a concerted effort to prioritise his health and his family.
The outspoken star also stressed the importance of pursuing passion projects.
Simon – who was appearing on 'America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League' at the time – explained: "I don't think anyone should be working five days a week. It's just pointless. Do something you enjoy. I've really enjoyed doing this."

Queen Camilla has revealed Catherine, Princess of Wales is "thrilled" by the support she has received since announcing she is undergoing treatment for cancer.
The 42-year-old royal announced in a video released on Friday (22.03.24) that she was undergoing chemotherapy after the disease was detected following her major abdominal surgery in January, and during an official visit to Shrewsbury Farmers' Market on Wednesday (27.03.24), the queen promised to "carefully" pass on some cards made for the princess by young well-wishers.
Speaking to Harriet, 10, and Lois, six, the queen said: “I know that Catherine is thrilled by all the kind wishes and support.”
Camilla promised the girls she would pass on the messages after Harriet apologised their hand-drawn creations had got "a bit creased" in the wind.
She said: “I’ll take them carefully and will make sure she knows they’re coming."
The girls' mother, Lucy Waterston, admitted she hadn't expected the queen to even see the cards.
She told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: “She said she certainly will send her love.”
The children had caught the eye of Camilla with their colourful messages, one of which read: ""Send our love to Kate, hi, Camilla."
Harriet said: “We heard the news and I wanted to hold the poster up to show my love to Kate.”
Camilla's husband, King Charles, is also being treated for cancer and the queen thanked a well-wisher who wanted to send their "best wishes to His Majesty".
She also thanked another woman who said she was thinking of her during a difficult time for the family.
After Camilla left, Joanne Morris, 65, said: “She’s got a lot on and it’s a big thing – you think it’s an easy job but it must be very very tiring.”
Catherine – who has Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, eight, and five-year-old Prince Louis with husband Prince William – has been absent from public duties since January and announced on Friday evening that she is receiving cancer treatment.
She said: "I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you personally, for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I've been recovering from surgery. It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family. But I've had a fantastic medical team who've taken great care of me for which I'm so grateful.
"In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London. And at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous.
"The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present.
"This of course, came as a huge shock. And Wiliam and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.
"As you can imagine, this has taken time, it has taken me time to recover for major surgery in order to start my treatment."

Lea Michele is pregnant.
The 37-year-old actress has taken to social media to announce that she's expecting her second child with her husband Zandy Reich, and to share a photo of her growing baby bump.
Alongside a series of images of Lea cradling her bump, the actress wrote on Instagram: "Mommy, Daddy and Ever are overjoyed. [heart emoji] (sic)"
The brunette beauty and her husband already have a three-year-old son together called Ever Leo.
And Lea – who tied the knot in 2019 – previously admitted that motherhood has changed her entire outlook on life, explaining that she's become less career-focused since she gave birth to her baby boy.
The Hollywood star confessed to previously having lots of "blind spots" because she was so career-minded in her outlook.
During an appearance on 'The Drew Barrymore Show', Lea explained: "It was all about my career. I've been so career-focused my entire life, I think to a fault.
"I think I have this sense of drive that created a lot of blind spots for me in my life."
Lea also believes that motherhood has "softened" her.
The actress – who is best known for playing Rachel Berry in 'Glee' – told 'Extra': "I feel like it definitely has softened me a lot and I probably could have used a little softening, and he really is just the thing that has changed me the most and I'm so grateful."
Lea actually experienced an "intense pregnancy" that featured "a lot of complications".
However, she has ultimately relished the challenge of parenthood.
She said: "In the midst of the pandemic, I was sort of in and out of hospitals and stuff like that, which added an extra layer of stress and anxiety.
"Once my son was born, having that private, special time with him…"

One song appears to be called “The Linda Martell Show,” a reference to the groundbreaking country performer who became the first Black woman to play the Grand Ole Opry.
There's also mention of “Dolly P” — likely a reference to Dolly Parton — and a track titled “Jolene," a reference to one of Parton's best-known songs.
Earlier this month, in an interview with Knox News celebrating the seasonal opening of her amusement park Dollywood, Parton said she thinks Beyoncé has recorded a cover of her 1973 hit.
“Well, I think she has,” she said. “I think she’s recorded ‘Jolene’ and I think it’s probably gonna be on her country album, which I’m very excited about that.”
The track list also mentions “Smoke Hour Willie Nelson,” but it is not immediately clear if Nelson is involved with the project.

Donald Sutherland has a memoir coming out in November reflecting on his life of nearly 90 years and his 60-year career as one of Hollywood's top actors in films like “M.A.S.H.,” “Klute,” “Ordinary People” and “ The Hunger Games " saga.
Crown announced Wednesday that Sutherland's “Made Up, But Still True” will be published Nov. 12, when the actor will be 89 years old.
“Donald Sutherland has made an indelible mark on the industry since his life-changing role in M.A.S.H. catapulted him into the public eye nearly sixty years ago,” the publisher said in a statement. “With his raw honesty and wicked sense of humor, the renowned actor chronicles his life in this generation-defining book, cataloging with powerful detail his far too many brushes with death, his loving relationship with his parents, and behind-the-scenes stories of the movies he’s starred in.”
A major figure in the New Hollywood of the 1970s who has worked steadily since, Sutherland was long considered among the best actors never to have been nominated for an Academy Award, despite appearing in several films that won the biggest of them. He was given an honorary Oscar for career achievement in 2017. He also has an Emmy and two Golden Globes.
“Made Up, But Still True” will be his first work as an author.
Born in Saint John, Canada, Sutherland barely survived a series of childhood diseases, including infantile paralysis, rheumatoid fever and spinal meningitis.
He chronicles those struggles in the book, along with his burgeoning teenage sexuality and his love for acting. He began acting on screen in the early 1960s.
Sutherland broke through in Hollywood with a small role in the 1967 World War II classic “The Dirty Dozen,” and broke big with a starring role as Hawkeye Pierce in Robert Altman's “M.A.S.H.”
He worked with auteurs including Nicolas Roeg in “Don't Look Now” and Federico Fellini in “Fellini's Casanova." And he appeared just as often in more popular fare, playing a spacey tank commander in “Kelly's Heroes,” a demented arsonist in “Backdraft” and an authoritarian president in the "Hunger Games” films.
Some of Sutherland's five children are also actors, most notably Kiefer Sutherland of “The Lost Boys" and “24.”

Pierce Brosnan has given his seal of approval to Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the next James Bond.
The actor – who played 007 in four films between 1995 and 2002 – has spoken out on rumours suggesting the 'Godzilla' star has been handed a formal offer to take over the role of the superspy following the departure of Daniel Craig and Pierce has insisted Aaron would be an excellent choice.
During an appearance on 'The Ray D’Arcy Show' on RTE Radio 1, Pierce said: "I think the man has the chops and the talent and the charisma to play Bond, very much so."
Pierce previously worked with Aaron on 2009 drama 'The Greatest' and he was impressed when he heard his former co-star could be in line to take over his old job.
He added: "One of the first movies we made, one of our earliest movies, was 'The Greatest' – and he was in it. He was The Greatest in it. It’s a lovely movie with Aaron and Carey Mulligan and Susan Sarandon and myself.
"So yes, I read the news about his possibilities of being a Bond, so I would definitely tip my hat to the fellow."
When asked what advice he would give to Aaron as Bond, Pierce replied: "Be bold. Go out there, have a great time. Just love it. Just go for it."
His comments come after another former Bond – George Lazenby – weighed in on the rumours insisting he believes Aaron has what it takes to be the next 007.
George, 84, who played Bond in just one film, 1969's 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service', is quoted by TMZ as saying he believes Aaron “can handle the stunts, and all the ladies who love a man in a tux.”
He also believes the 'Fall Guy' actor doesn't have the job yet because he had to go through several test runs and auditions before nabbing the iconic part. His one piece of advice to Aaron, should he become Bond, is to "reinvent the role to fit him."
Rumours about the potential casting came after The Sun newspaper reported bosses at Eon Productions – the company behind the 007 franchise – had reached out to the actor with a formal offer.
A source told the newspaper: "Bond is Aaron’s job, should he wish to accept it. The formal offer is on the table and they are waiting to hear back.
"As far as Eon [production company] is concerned, Aaron is going to sign his contract in the coming days and they can start preparing for the big announcement."

'The Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise is going to get a reboot.
Movie producer Jerry Bruckheimer has worked on all five of the Johnny Depp-starring films – based on the Walt Disney theme park ride of the same name – and now he's opened up about plans for number six revealing they are toying with the idea of a new film starring Margot Robbie but he thinks a reboot may happen first because it will be "easier to put together.
During an interview with Comicbook.com, Bruckheimer was asked whether fans should expect a new 'Top Gun' movie before the next 'Pirates' installment and he explained: "It's hard to tell. You don't know, you really don't know. You don't know how they come together. You just don't know.
"Because with 'Top Gun' you have an actor [Tom Cruise] who is iconic and brilliant. And how many movies he does before he does 'Top Gun', I can't tell you.
"But we're gonna reboot 'Pirates', so that is easier to put together because you don't have to wait for certain actors."
Bruckheimer previously revealed movie bosses have two 'Pirates' ideas on the go, and he's hoping they will both get made eventually.
Speaking in 2022, he told The Hollywood Reporter: "We developed two of them – the one with Margot Robbie and one with a younger cast. The Margot Robbie one needs a little more work. The younger cast one is close. Hopefully we’ll get both of them."
When asked if the Margot Robbie project may end up being shelved, he added: "It’s alive for me. It’s alive for Disney. I’m sure she [Robbie] was disappointed it didn’t go first – or maybe not because she’s very busy, so it might be a blessing to push this a bit. We believe we’ll get it made. It’s a very strong story."

YouTube star Ninja has been diagnosed with cancer at the age of 32.
The online sensation – real name Tyler Blevins – has revealed a dermatologist found a suspicious mole on his foot and had it removed as a precaution – and it turned out to be melanoma but doctors are "optimistic" that they've caught the cancer in its early stages.
He went public with the health scare in a post on X – formerly known as Twitter – writing: "Alright I’m still in a bit of shock but want to keep you all updated. A few weeks ago I went in to a dermatologist for an annual skin/mole check that [wife] Jess proactively scheduled for me …
"There was a mole on the bottom of my foot that they wanted to remove just to be careful.
"It came back as melanoma, but they are optimistic that we caught it in the early stages."
The gamer went on to reveal he's had a biopsy taken on the area and had skin around the melanoma removed. He added: "I had another dark spot appear near it, so today they biopsied that and removed a larger area around the melanoma with the hopes that under the microscope they will see clear non-melanoma edges and we will know we got it."
He went on to urge his followers to get regular skin checks, adding: "I’m grateful to have hope in finding this early, but please take this as a PSA to get skin check-ups."
The online star's wife Jessica Blevins went on to reveal the couple's move to Florida helped catch the cancer because living in a sunny state prompted her to start booking their annual skin checks.
She replied to her husband's post, writing: " Crazy butterfly effect moment-I probably wouldn’t have started scheduling annual skin check-ups yet if we didn’t move to Florida.
"Foot melanoma is not sun-related, so it would have been there anyways and we might not have found it. Thank God."

Non-binary Toronto comedian and actor Mae Martin says their new documentary about gender fluidity feels especially relevant as transgender rights "are really under attack" in Canada and the United States.
Martin hosts "Fluid: Life Beyond the Binary," airing Thursday as part of CBC's "The Nature of Things" series, and says the doc will provide a “counterpoint” to dangerous myths about gender identity perpetuated on both sides of the border.
“I was excited to have a really well-produced, well-researched piece of work that would be accessible to people in all different demographics and demystify some of the hysteria around gender identity,” the 36-year-old comic said in a video call from Los Angeles.
“[It will] show people that this is all a very ancient and natural thing and that actually, that strict gender binary is not really the rule in nature.”
Directed by Michelle Mama, former executive producer of “Canada’s Drag Race,” and produced by Robert Lang, the documentary debunks pseudoscience and introduces the latest research showing that gender exists on a spectrum for humans and many other species.
Martin said that's especially important at a time when laws being enacted or proposed in parts of Canada and the United States are trying to limit "life-saving health care" and mental health care for transgender and non-binary people.
"And it's all based around hysteria and misconceptions, like, ‘Oh they're going to be giving sex changes to children,’" they said.
In January, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith promised to enact sweeping changes to the province’s transgender policies this fall, including bans on gender-affirming surgeries for those under 17 and on hormone therapy for children under 16 — except for those who have already commenced therapy.
“It's so disheartening,” Martin said about Smith’s proposed measures, which would also include parental consent for students 15 and younger to use their preferred pronouns in school.
“To feel like you have no recourse and no support and you're being demonized, particularly when you're young and going to school, I think that's pretty devastating.”
Martin, who had top surgery in 2021 and subsequently went on testosterone, said denying gender-affirming health care can have “dangerous” consequences.
“If you talk to any young trans people, it really becomes clear pretty quickly that this is just about people trying to be authentic and happy,” they said.
“People don't get to those decisions lightly about undergoing any kind of medical intervention. For me, it was at a point where it felt pretty life or death.”
For the CBC documentary, Martin interviewed biologists Joan Roughgarden and Justin Rhodes, as well as prominent primatologist Frans de Waal. They discovered many examples of gender fluidity in nature — from a hermaphroditic ginger plant to female hyenas, which are considered “intersex” because they have penises.
Martin said they were most surprised to learn that female lions, if left to care for their pride, can develop typically masculine traits.
“[They can] grow manes and their voices will drop. That's pretty wild that nature can do that because we think of the lion as the king of the jungle, and it's very binary. So, to know that a female lion can inhabit that role and even biologically develop those characteristics, that was pretty mind-blowing.”
Martin said it’s exciting “a revered institution” like the CBC isn’t afraid to take on the topic of gender fluidity. They hope the documentary will inspire viewers to have “more empathy and understanding.”
“In general, it's liberating any time you embrace fluidity or dynamism in your own life. I think these little train tracks that we are on that are invisible to us often limit our thinking without us even knowing," Martin said.
"So, any time you can challenge yourself and reframe things in a way that you haven't thought about before is super helpful.”
"The Nature of Things" airs Thursday on CBC and CBC Gem.

Steve Martin has long marveled at the many phases of his life. There’s his youth as a Disneyland performer, surrounded by vaudeville performers and magicians. A decade as a stand-up before the sudden onset of stadium-sized popularity. An abrupt shift to movies. Later, a new chapter as a banjo player, a father and, a comedy act, once again, with Martin Short.
It’s such a confounding string of chapters that Martin has typically only approached his life piecemeal or schizophrenically. He titled an audiobook “So Many Steves.” His memoir, “Born Standing Up,” covered only his stand-up years. In it, he wrote that it was really a biography “because I am writing about someone I used to know.”
“My life has many octopus arms,” Martin says, speaking from his New York apartment.
People participate in documentaries for all kinds of reasons. But Martin may be unique in making a film about his life with the instruction of: “See if you can make sense of all THAT.” Morgan Neville, the documentary filmmaker of the Fred Rogers film “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” and the posthumous Anthony Bourdain portrait “Roadrunner,” took up the challenge.
Yet Neville, too, was hesitant about any holistic view of Martin. The resulting film is really two. “STEVE! (martin) a documentary in 2 pieces,” premiering Friday on Apple TV+, splits Martin’s story in two halves. One depicts Martin’s stand-up as it unfolded, with copious contributions from journal entries and old photographs. The other captures Martin’s life as it is today — riding electric bikes with Short, practicing the banjo — with reflections on the career that followed.
It’s an attempt to synthesize all the Steve Martins, or at least line them up next to each other. The “King Tut” guy with the arrow through his head. The “wild and crazy guy.” The “Jerk.” The Grammy-winner. The novel writer. And the self-lacerating comic who says in the film: “I guarantee I had no talent. None.”
“Just because you do a lot of things doesn’t mean they’re good,” Martin says. I know that time evaluates things. So there’s nothing for me to stand on to evaluate my efforts. But an outsider can make sense of it.”
Neville, who joined the video call from his home in Pasadena, California, didn’t set out to make two films about Martin. But six months into the process, it crystalized for him as the right structure. Through lines emerged.
“When I look at the things Steve’s done in his life — playing banjo, magic, stand-up — these are things that take great effort to master,” Neville says. “But in a way, it’s the constant working at it. Even seeing Steve pick up a banjo, it’s never, ‘I nailed it.’ It’s always: ‘I could do that a little better.’”
Looking back hasn’t come naturally to Martin. He’s long resisted the kind of life-story treatment of a film like “STEVE!” But Martin, 78, grants he’s now at that time of life where you can’t help it. Even if reliving some things smarts.
“The first part, that’s what I really have a hard time watching,” Martin says. “When I’m on black-and-white homemade video being so not funny.”
Martin grew up in Orange County in awe of Jerry Lewis, Laurel and Hardy and Nichols and May. His first job, as an 11-year-old, was selling guide books at Disneyland. He drifted toward the Main Street Magic Shop. Stage performers like Wally Boag became his idols.
When Martin, after studying philosophy in college and writing for “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour,” began stand-up, he drew copiously from Boag and others, filtering the showmanship of vaudeville into an avantgarde act, just with balloon animals and an arrow through his head. Donning the persona of, as he says in the film, “a comedian who thinks he’s funny but isn’t,” his routine moved away from punchlines and toward an absurd irony with “free-form laughter.”
Martin’s act was groundbreaking and, in the 1970s, when most comics were doing political material, it became wildly popular. “He’s up there with the most idolized comedians ever,” Jerry Seinfeld says in the film. Now, Martin doesn’t see much from those years that makes him laugh.
“Then there are these moments that I think of as performance glory, but they last a minute or two minutes,” Martin says. It was all so new. It was exciting because it was new to the audience and to me.”
In 1981, Martin quit stand-up, he thought for good. The act had run its course and he was happy to transition to movies. It wasn’t until decades later, when Martin prepared to tour as a banjo player, that a friend convinced him audiences were going to want a little banter in between songs.
“So I had this terror and I started working on material,” Martin says. “Eventually I became what I grew up with, which is a folk music act with a funny monologist, making funny intros to songs.”
That’s bled into Martin’s unexpected return to stand-up. Martin and Short, friends since the 1986 comedy “Three Amigos!” have become the premier double act of today, starring on the acclaimed Hulu series “Only Murders in the Building” and performing on the road. They cuttingly but affectionately volley quip after quip with the finesse of Grand Slam champions.
The irony isn’t lost on Martin. The no-punchline comedian has become a lover of punchlines.
“I’ve morphed into a person who really appreciates the joy of telling jokes,” shrugs Martin. “Marty and I in our show is joke after joke after joke.”
Martin likes to say he has a “relaxed mind” now. He’s peeled away a lot — competitiveness, people or situations who brought him grief — and has narrowed his life down to things that matter most to him.
“I have this thing that I’ve noticed,” Martin says. “As we age, we either become our best selves or our worst selves. I’ve seen people become their worst selves and I’ve seen people who were tough, difficult people early on become better selves.”

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ alleged guns and drugs runner has been arrested.
Brendan Paul, 25, was named in a $30 million sexual abuse lawsuit brought against the rapper as the performer’s apparent narcotics and firearms fixer and mule, and it has now emerged he was arrested in Miami on Monday when federal agents intercepted Diddy’s private jet.
According to Page Six, Paul, 25, was booked on two drug charges – one count of possession of suspected cocaine and another of possession of suspected marijuana candy.
An affidavit obtained by TMZ shows officers claim that while they were working in conjunction with Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection officials they came across what appeared to be narcotics.
Authorities reportedly tested the substances, which turned out to be drugs, and arrested Paul, who was booked but has already been bailed out of jail.
Paul was mentioned in music producer Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones’ $30 million lawsuit against Diddy, which he filed in February and claimed the music mogul sexually assaulted him while working on his 2022 album.
Rodney claimed Paul served as Diddy’s confidant and frequently carried a firearm on his person, and in his suit also alleged Paul “acquires and distributes” guns and drugs for his rapper boss.
The producer also claimed Paul would “negotiate the fees sex workers received” while working for Diddy – who has strongly denied all of Jones’ allegations.
The Department of Homeland Security raided Diddy’s Miami and Los Angeles mansions on Monday in connection to a sex trafficking investigation.
Armed federal agents were seen busting into the estates and leaving with bags of electronic devices.
It was initially believed Diddy had taken his jet to Antigua at the time, but he was later spotted pacing outside the Miami airport.
Sources told Page Six he had planned to travel to the Bahamas to celebrate his twin daughters’ spring break at the time of the double raid.
His sons Justin and King, who were seen being handcuffed at his $40 million LA mansion, were later photographed returning to their house to grab some belongings before again leaving the scene.
