Now, some more details have started to filter through about the contract that the Canadian auteur has signed, with a report from Puck suggesting that the deal is currently only for Villeneuve to direct one film – although it does add that there's a chance that could change if the film ends up being a hit.
But also of note to fans is the detail that Villeneuve will reportedly not be given final cut on the film. This is by no means out of the ordinary for the franchise – the previous regime under Barbara Broccoli never gave a director final cut – but it may be a surprise to some who thought Villeneuve's appointment may bring about greater creative control than usual.
