It’s official, Dune 2 is now our most anticipated theater experience of 2023.  The scale of epicness is literally off the charts.  The over head shot, looking down at Atreides walk through a sea of people is simply overwhelming.  Throw in that this film looks like it is bathed in gladiator-esque, epic action and we are all in… ALL IN!  Let’s not forget how ruthless and menacing Christopher Walken’s Shaddam IV – the Emperor and head of House Corrino appears to be for this part of the story.

Denis Villeneuve‘s vision of this story is simply breathtaking and we can’t WAIT to go see it multiple times on the biggest screen we can find.

“Do what must be done…”

The saga continues as award-winning filmmaker Denis Villeneuve embarks on “Dune: Part Two,” the next chapter of Frank Herbert’s celebrated novel Dune, with an expanded all-star international ensemble cast. The film, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, is the highly anticipated follow-up to 2021’s six-time Academy Award-winning “Dune.”

The big-screen epic continues the adaptation of Frank Herbert’s acclaimed bestseller Dune with returning and new stars, including Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar nominee Josh Brolin, Oscar nominee Austin Butler, Oscar nominee Florence Pugh, Dave Bautista, Oscar winner Christopher Walken, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Léa Seydoux, with Stellan Skarsgård, with Oscar nominee Charlotte Rampling, and Oscar winner Javier Bardem.

“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.

Villeneuve directed from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jon Spaihts based on Herbert’s novel. The film is produced by Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Villeneuve, Tanya Lapointe and Patrick McCormick.
