Ahead of the imminent world premiere (this coming week!) of his Dune movie, Denis Villeneuve has addressed his future plans for the series, looking even beyond part two. In this week’s Dune Talk we’re back with a full crew to discuss significance of the director’s vision for a trilogy of movies. If this lifelong dream comes to pass, when could Dune Messiah hit the big screen? We dive into this question and a myriad of further insights from Villeneuve’s interviews, including his clarification on Zendaya’s role, thoughts on an extended cut, and the earlier international release dates.
Garin, Johnny, Marcus, and Simon also discuss highlights from Total Film’s truly comprehensive Dune movie feature and explore all the newly-revealed footage from international trailers and two sets of character teasers. Join us, as we proceed with a lively countdown towards the movie’s release!
This podcast (76 minutes) is available below in both video and audio formats. Enjoy and spread the word to fellow Dune fans!
