Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures just released second trailer for Dunes: Part 2, one of the most anticipated films of the year, especially among science fiction fans. In the trailer, we see the Fremen, now led by Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), clash with the Harkonnen forces, who in the previous film succumbed to the Atreides family’s hold on Arrakis.
We must remember that in the previous film, and after the “surprise” Harkonnen invasion, Paul Atreidas manages to forge an alliance with the Fremen, a race that remains hidden in the deep wilderness of Arrakis. At this time, he also meets Chani (Zendaya), who in the novel Frank Herbert she becomes a mentor and inseparable companion.
IN Dunes: Part 2, then we will see not only part of the survival and combat training that Paul Atreides will receive from the Fremen, but also the beginning of the war against the Harkonnen. Although the previous feature film already had various action scenes, it cannot be compared in terms of quantity or epicwith what we will see in the sequel.
At the beginning of 2022 when Dune was still the subject of conversation, director Denis Villeneuve warned that Dunes: Part 2 it will be more difficult in every sense. Moreover, Frank Herbert’s novel presents situations and moments that can be presented in different ways depending on the reader.
Dunes: Part 2 this is a challenge for Villeneuve
Of course, unlike other projects of the Canadian director, with Dunes: Part 2 This is the first time he visits the same universe again. Consequently, both he and his team already have experience adapting Herbert’s work.
“Now it helps us that I first got into the universe. So I work with the same team; everyone knows what to do, we know what it will be like. The film will be more complex. but we know where we’re going. And the script is written. So I feel confident.”
Denis Villeneuve.
Another important point that can already be seen in the two available previews is that Dunes: Part 2 will contribute to the further development of other characters. The first film was almost entirely devoted to the Atreides family, but continuation also aims to delve into the opposite direction. For this reason, we will see many scenes with the Harkonnens.
“Some new characters will be introduced in the second part. And I made a decision in advance that the first part would be more about Paul Atreides and the Ben Gesserit, and also about his first experience of contact with another culture. in the second part of the material Harkonnen will be much more.
Denis Villeneuve.
Dunes: Part 2 will be released in theaters November 3, 2023. It consists of Timothée Chalamet (Paul Atreides), Zendaya (Chani), Rebecca Ferguson (Lady Jessica Atreides), Josh Brolin (Gurney Halleck), Christopher Walken (Emperor Shaddam IV), Javier Bardem (Stilgar), Stellan Skarsgård (Baron Vladimir Harkonnen), Lea Seydoux (Lady Margo), Austin Butler (Feid-Rautha Harkonnen), Florence Pugh (Princess Irulan) and Dave Bautista (Rabban Harkonnen).
