David Leitch boasts a storied stuntman career dating back decades. Beyond being a stunt double for Brad Pitt and Jean-Claude Van Damme, Leitch and his John Wick co-director Chad Stahelski have worked together under their action design production company 87Eleven since 1997.

Suffice it to say, Leitch was the right choice to direct 2024’s The Fall Guy, a Ryan Gosling-led reboot of the 1980s Lee Majors TV show that reimagines it as a fun-filled, fun-loving love letter to the undervalued stunt performance profession. It’s full-gear popcorn entertainment that only someone wholly passionate about stunt work could deliver.

It’s not controversial to say that Denis Villeneuve’s Dune movies look great. But the awe-inspiring imagery of Dune: Part Two, from stunning black-and-white duels to epic sandworm rides, feels particularly remarkable at a time when unconvincing visual effects special effects have become increasingly common in some major blockbuster movies.

So in a world where even Marvel Studios is struggling to produce top-notch VFX, why does Dune look so damn good? According to visual generalist supervisor Luisa Abuchaibe, who worked on Part 2, the answer is simple: focus on the art.
