We think it’s high time we head back to Arrakis for the second part of Denis Villeneuve’s epic sci fi Dune, based on the novel by Frank Herbert, which sees the saga continue with an expanded all-star international ensemble cast! Check out the official trailer for Dune: Part Two…
Dune: Part Two will explore the mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a warpath of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family. Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, he endeavors to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.
“The first part was really a way to introduce the world to the audience, and now that this introduction has been done, the second part will be playtime!” said Villeneuve when we spoke to him in 2021 (before the second part had even been greenlit). “It’s just going to be having fun with the world and it will definitely be more cinematic and a pleasure to make.
“I think it’s going to be kind of awesome!”
