Original Dune 1984 Paul Atreides actor Kyle MacLachlan responds to the release of Dune 2. Denis Villeneuve’s epic adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic sci-fi novel is complete now that Dune: Part Two has hit theaters. Exceeding all reasonable expectations, the second half of Villeneuve’s two-parter has crossed the $600 million mark worldwide, keeping the Dune franchise alive 40 years after MacLachlan played Paul in 1984’s David Lynch-directed, box office flop version.
