Vanity Fair has unveiled an exclusive first look at Dune: Part 2, a war epic action movie that picks off exactly where the first film left off. Director Denis Villeneuve makes sure to place a heavy emphasis on the fact that the film is not a sequel, but a second part. “I wanted the movie to really open just where we left the characters. There’s no time jump. I wanted dramatic continuity with part one,†he says.
The returning cast includes Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Javier Bardem, and Dave Bautista who will be joined by a number of new faces including Léa Seydoux, Austin Butler, and Florence Pugh.
Below is the official synopsis from Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures.
This follow-up film will explore the mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a warpath 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.
