About Dune: Part Two Movie:
Dune: Part Two is an American epic science fiction film directed by Denis Villeneuve, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jon Spaihts. The sequel to Dune (2021), it is the second of a two-part adaptation of the 1965 novel Dune by Frank Herbert, and follows Paul Atreides as he unites with the Fremen people of the desert planet Arrakis to wage war against House Harkonnen.
Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Zendaya, Charlotte Rampling, and Javier Bardem reprising their roles from the first film, with Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Christopher Walken, and Léa Seydoux joining the ensemble cast.
Development began after Legendary Entertainment acquired film and television rights for Dune in 2016. Villeneuve signed on as director for the film in 2017, intending to make a two-part adaptation of the novel due to its complexity.
Production contracts were only secured for the first film, with the second film having to be green-lit based on the first’s success. Though Villeneuve was concerned about the sequel’s certainty after the first film had a simultaneous theatrical and HBO Max release, Warner Bros. Pictures assured him the sequel would happen if it performed well on HBO Max.
After the critical and commercial success of the first film, Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment green-lit the film in October 2021. New cast members including Pugh, Butler, Walken, Seydoux, and Yacoub were announced in 2022, followed by Tim Blake Nelson a year later. Principal photography took place in Budapest, Italy, Jordan, and Abu Dhabi between July and December 2022.
A teaser trailer for Dune: Part II was presented on the Warner Bros. panel at CinemaCon on April 27, 2023. First-look footage of the cast in character was released online, alongside a teaser poster, on May 2, 2023. The trailer was released to the public the following day. A second trailer was released on June 29, 2023.
Dune: Part Two had its world premiere at the Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City on February 6, 2024, and was released internationally on February 28, 2024, and in the United States on March 1, 2024, by Warner Bros. Pictures.
