Dune: Part Two

Dune: Part Two is a 2024 American epic space opera film directed by Denis Villeneuve, from a screenplay he wrote with Jon Spaihts. It is a sequel to Dune (2021) in a two-part adaptation of Frank Herbert's 1965 science fiction novel, and the second of a trilogy of films developed by Legendary Pictures. Timothée Chalamet leads a twelve-actor ensemble cast as Paul Atreides, an exiled monarch who allies with the Fremen peoples to overthrow the House Harkonnen as part of a preordained quest to become the celestial messiah. Villeneuve produced Dune: Part Two with his wife and business partner Tanya Lapointe, Legendary's Mary Parent and collaborator Cale Boyter, and Patrick McCormick. Funding came from a distribution agreement between Legendary and Warner Bros. Pictures and tax subsidies from the Hungarian, Jordanian, and municipal Abu Dhabi governments.
