Although David Lynch’s reproduction of Frank Herbert’s 412-page science fiction novel in 1984 had “stumbled” the entire story into one film, the new full-length version of director Denny Vilneew’s vision of “The Dune” had two parts. In his first interviews, Vilneevs was really convinced that his screening, directed by Frank Herbert, would have two films. This was also indicated by the sequence of the opening title of the first film, which was “The Dune: Part One”.
When the film’s director was interviewed by Variety at the Toronto Film Festival, Vilneev said he initially wanted to make both parts at the same time, but for several reasons he failed. He made the first part and was ready to wait for the audience to like the film. “In creating the first part, I really put all my passion into it – even if it were the only one. But I’m optimistic.”
And it has happened! Vilneev himself does not hide his joy: “I just received a message from Legendary that we are officially moving forward with” Dune: Part Two “. My dream was to adapt Frank Herbert’s story in” Dune “, and I have to thank the fans, the actors and the team , “Legendary” and “Warner Bros.” That’s just the beginning! “
It is promised that there are still many stories to discover on the upcoming film! The film “The Dune: Part One” ends with Paul Atreidis, played by Timothy Shalame, seeking refuge from enemies in the desert. “The Dune: Part Two” will follow his efforts to avenge the noble families who killed his father, Duke Leto Atreidis, and restore his power.
“Denny Vilneev has made a film that is both visually unusual and emotionally exciting, as evidenced by its global success from both critics and box office,” said Toby Emerich, chairman of the board of Warner Bros. Picture Group. “We are excited to continue this journey with Denny and his actors and team, as well as our partners at Legendary, and we can’t wait to see the next part of this epic tale in theaters in October 2023.”
The first part of the science fiction epic, which premiered ASV experienced on October 22, earned $ 41 million ($ 35.4 million) from ticket sales in the first weekend. This was the best result from the opening of this year’s Warner Bros. film, and a sign of fans’ desire not only to stream the film, but also to see it on the big screen. The film has also performed well abroad, earning nearly $ 225 million (€ 194 million) worldwide, Variety reports.
But here’s a trailer for those who haven’t seen the first part of the movie yet!
