Warner Bros has announced Dune: Part Two. The movie got a release date of October 2023.
Dune: Part Two will be releasing exclusively in movie theatres, news agency Reuters reportes, quoting Warner Bros. The first part of the sci-fi epic has been directs by Denis Villeneuve. Dune feature Timothee, Zendaya, Jason Momoa, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, and Josh Brolin among others.
Hollywood Reporter quoted Denis, “I just received news from Legendary that we are officially moving forward with Dune: Part Two. It was a dream of mine to adapt Frank Herbert’s Dune and I have the fans, the cast, and crew, Legendary, and Warner Bros. to thank for supporting this dream. This is only the beginning.”
The first movie was released simultaneously in theatres and on streaming service HBO Max. Set in a future where noble families rule planetary fiefs, the story follows Paul Atreides (Timothee), whose father takes on the stewardship of planet Arrakis, known as Dune to its native Fremen people and contested for its unique spice commodity found in its inhospitable desert.
The Hindustan Times review read, “Denis Villeneuve’s Dune still evaporates from the mind as little as two hours later. Sandy worms and dragonfly choppers can only do so much when there isn’t a big, beating heart in a film to tether yourself.”
