## Summary

Judi Dench says she has never watched a science-fiction film, including *Star Wars*, *Star Trek* and *Back to the Future*. Her comments stand out because the actor has worked across many genres, yet has largely avoided one that includes several celebrated films.

Dench was once a supporting actor in the science-fiction film *The Chronicles of Riddick*, but said she had not watched it either. The article says she took the role after Vin Diesel persuaded her, and that she has made clear she would rather not be reminded of the film.
