Brian Herbert, the son of Dune author Frank Herbert, has shared his thoughts onDune 2, and they’re suitably glowing.
“I sawDune: Part Twoat a private studio screening, and it is gratifying to see my father’s story told with such great care,” Brian, who is also an author, wrote on Twitter. “When the new movie is combined withDune: Part Oneit is by far the best film interpretation of Frank Herbert’s classic novel DUNE that has ever been done.”
Dune 2 completes the story told in Herbert’s seminal 1965 sci-fi novel. The sequel picks up where the first film ends, as Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and his mother Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) join the Fremen people to wage war on House Harkonnen.
The second movie sees Zendaya return as Chani, Josh Brolin back as Gurney Halleck, and Stellan Skarsgård as Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. Newcomers include Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, and Christopher Walken as Shaddam IV.
Dune 2 releases on March 1. For more, check out our list of thebest sci-fi moviesof all time.
