Published in the mid-’60s, author Frank Herbert’s science-fiction epic Dune became one of the genre’s bibles, and was long-considered impossible to adapt for the screen. Set in the distant future, it told an interstellar tale of noble houses and planetary fiefs, and of how the Artreides family accept stewardship of the desert planet Arrakis, the only source of melange, a spice that can extend life, enhance the mind’s capabilities, and aid space travel. But to protect Arrakis – its resources and its inhabitants, the Fremen – young Paul Atreides must go on a dangerous journey and prove himself as the chosen one long foretold.
Dune: Part Two completes the tale, and promises to somehow up the adventure, the thrills, the spectacle, and the emotion. Paul will face off again Austin Butler’s terrifying nemesis Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, find love with the warrior woman of his visions, Chani (Zendaya), and, yes, face many more sandworms.
