A sequel with its new features
For his new film Dune, part twofollowing Dune released in 2021, Denis Villeneuve made some changes. I waited for him February 28, 2024 in the rooms, Dune 2 will continue the story of the destiny of Paul Atréides (Timothée Chalamet), who will join Chani (Zendaya) and the Fremen and take revenge on those who killed his family. We know that in addition to the characters who survived the events of the first film, other characters from the universe invented by Frank Herbert appear. The casting was therefore enriched with talented actresses and actors such as Florence Pugh, who plays the princess Irulan CorrinoAustin Butler as Feyd-RauthaLéa Seydoux in Lady Margot Fenring or Christopher Walken to play the emperor Shaddam IV Corrino.
Dune 2 more “muscular”
Self Dune 2 it is the direct continuation of Dunehowever, there is an important change that Denis Villeneuve wanted to underline in an upcoming interview for Total Film. In fact, the Quebec director explained that this film was more “muscle“.
The first film was more meditative, more contemplative. We followed a young man who discovered a new planet, a new culture. This second film… is more of an action film than the first part. He’s more muscular.
More muscular and even more spectacular? This is what Denis Villeneuve suggests, explaining that it is for this reason that with Greig Fraser, the film’s director of photography, Dune 2 it was shot entirely in IMAX format. Certainly not a whim but rather a necessity, especially to be able to stage convincingly the moment Paul rides a huge sandworm. In this regard the director declares that “it was by far one of the most technically complex scenes I’ve had to shoot in my career“.
Denis Villeneuve and his teams seem to have pushed the sliders to the max, with the idea of doing even better than what Dune. The promise is beautiful and the challenge immense, ever since Dune was a critical and commercial success upon its release, and was rewarded with a shower of awards, including 6 Oscars in 2022 : Best Visual Effects, Best Film Music, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Production Design and Best Sound Mixing.
