Possibly jumping in on the hype surrounding the release of Wonka, we have a new trailer for the next Dune film, and it showcases all of the sci-fi action you can expect from a planet filled with giant sand worms.

Watch this:

The second movie effectively ends the story of the first Dune from author Frank Herbert, but director Denis Villeneuve is said to be planning an entire Dune trilogy with a third film following the rise of the tyrant Paul Atreides.

After all, the entire point of Dune is considered to be a critique on the notion of stories with ‘chosen ones’ and ‘destiny’; and Paul is supposed to evolve from the prince to the face of a new intergalactic war—the very thing he was panicking about when he got a hit of spice in the first movie.

We don’t know if a third movie will be greenlit, but fingers crossed that Dune: Part Two will manage to bring in an audience post-pandemic.

“Dune: Part Two” will explore the mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a path of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family. Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, he endeavors to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.

Dune: Part Two is set to release in theaters on March 1.

]]> Dune: Paul Atreides Actors Timothee Chalamet and Kyle MacLachlan Share a Photo Together https://www.geekfeed.com/dune-paul-atreides-actors-timothee-chalamet-and-kyle-maclachlan-share-a-photo-together/ Wed, 30 Mar 2022 14:52:52 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=64627 Timothee Chalamet may be the new face of House Atreides thanks to Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, but back in the 80s, it was Kyle MacLachlan who was chosen to be the Kwisatz Haderach. Thanks to the Oscars, the two were actually able to get together, and they shared a photo doing the salute from the latest take on Dune.

MacLachlan shared this on his Twitter:

While there is a salute described in the books by Frank Herbert, this was actually taken from the martial art of Kali/Eskrima. Though the gesture in the books is easy enough to emulate, I thought having the gesture borrowed from an actual martial art gives it a very distinct history and feel.

Here was the passage in the Dune book:

“Paul touched his forehead with his rapier blade held vertical… Halleck turned, saw the salute and acknowledged it with a nod.”

Though MacLachlan’s Dune days are over, it would be great if Villeneuve could find some kind of way to have him appear in the next film—maybe as an Atreides ancestor. If you ask me, he can even play the emperor—that could be a nice meta reference to what Paul could become.

Production for Dune: Part Two is set to start soon, and the cast is slowly being filled out again, with Florence Pugh cast as Princess Irulan. We don’t know who else we could see in the movie, but we should expect to see Paul finally riding on some sandworms.

Dune: Part Two is set to hit theaters on Oct. 20, 2023.
