The saga continues as award-winning filmmaker Denis Villeneuve embarks on Dune: Part Two, the next chapter of Frank Herbert’s celebrated novel Dune.
The film explores the mythic journey of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) as he unites with Chani (Zendaya) 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, Paul endeavors to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.
Dune: Part Two received praise from critics and grossed over $685 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film of 2024. A third film in the franchise, based on Dune: Messiah, is in development with Denis Villeneuve as director.
Filmmaker Steven Spielberg praised the film, calling it “one of the most brilliant science fiction films I have ever seen,” while further noting that “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.”
