Dune: Part Two director Denis Villeneuve addresses his more pragmatic approach to Frank Herbert’s source material. Released earlier this month, Villeneuve’s sequel picks up after the end of 2021’s Dune, following Timothée Chalamet’s Paul Atreides as he grapples with a prophecy that paints him as a messiah figure for the Fremen. The film has been widely hailed as a major success, with critics and audiences alike responding to the way in which Villeneuve has used his eye for science-fiction to bring the world of Herbert’s 1965 novel to life.
