Just days after Dune’s $40M box office opening, Dune: Part Two has already been confirmed for official production.
While it was nothing unexpected, the announcement of the sci-fi sequel has fans riding the high of a new franchise.
“I feel like I’m eight years old again,” director and writer Denis Villeneuve said of writing Dune: Part Two. “It’s the first time I’ve experienced it where I’m watching one of my movies, and I have a moment of deep gratitude, of deep joy, and I say, ‘Thank you, life, for having allowed me to bring that to the screen.’”
The sequel has an anticipated release date set for October 20th, 2023.
