“May thy knife chip and shatter.”

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 ensemble cast.

The film is the highly anticipated follow-up to 2021’s six-time Academy Award-winning DUNE. This second installment explores the mythic journey of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) as he unites with Chani (Zendaya) and the Fremen while on a path 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. With Rebecca Ferguson, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Charlotte Rampling, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Christopher Walken, Léa Seydoux, Stellan Skarsgård.

“As a sequel, it works for the same reasons that make The Empire Strikes Back so many people’s favourite Star Wars film: there’s a darkness, a bleakness, that makes the fist-pumping moments feel all-the-more earned.” (Time Out)

“As different from the first film as [Ridley Scott’s] Alien is to [James Cameron’s] Aliens. Same stuff, totally different genre!” (NPR)

“The second Dune instalment is jaw-on-the-floor spectacular. It elegantly weaves together top-tier special effects and arresting cinematography; it layers muscle, sinew and savagery on to the bones of Part One.” (Observer UK)

“Even as we marvel at the stunning and immersive and Oscar-level cinematography, editing, score, visual effects, production design and sound in Denis Villeneuve’s Part Two, we’re reminded at every turn that this is an absolutely crazy story…” (Chicago Sun-Times)
