DUNE 2: At least in a distant glance, you will never understand which work was inspired by Dennis Villenev for his science fiction film

From the very beginning, Dennis Wilenev thought of adapting Frank Herbert’s seminar work as Diptich.

It is not a humor. It was like a little electric shock as a grenade that I knew in my brain because it was a conscious choice.” Finally, that he had released that influence on the team showed another besides Joe Walker.
