At its core, however, Dune: Part Two will do what David Lynch failed to do in his cult 1984 adaptation of Frank Herbert’s novel. The focus is really on Paul’s integration into the Freman people, his relationship with Chani and how he feels about embracing this power that comes so easily to him. And yes, he’ll finally be able to ride the sandworm you know you’ve been waiting for.
Villeneuve directed and co-wrote the screenplay with Jon Spaihts. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that it’s everything we hoped for and more. Dune: Part Two launches on November 3rd. Watch the first part now on MAX.
