Nesianetwork.id - According to wikipedia.org, Dune: Part Two is a 2024 American epic science fiction film directed by Denis Villeneuve, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jon Spaihts. The sequel to Dune (2021), it is the second of a two-part adaptation of the 1965 novel Dune by Frank Herbert, and follows Paul Atreides as he unites with the Fremen people of the desert planet Arrakis to wage war against House Harkonnen. Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Zendaya, Charlotte Rampling, and Javier Bardem reprise their roles from the first film, with Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Christopher Walken and Léa Seydoux joining the ensemble cast.
Development began after Legendary Entertainment acquired film and television rights for Dune in 2016. Villeneuve signed on as director for the film in 2017, with the intention of making a two-part adaptation of the novel due to its complexity. Production contracts were only secured for a first film, with the second film having to be green-lit based on the first's success.
Though Villeneuve was concerned about the sequel's certainty after the first film had a simultaneous theatrical and HBO Max release, Warner Bros. Pictures assured him the sequel would happen if it performed well on HBO Max. After the critical and commercial success of the first film, Warner Bros. and Legendary green-lit Dune: Part Two in October 2021. Most of the new cast members were announced in 2022, followed by Tim Blake Nelson a year later. Principal photography took place in Budapest, Italy, Jordan and Abu Dhabi between July and December 2022.
Dune: Part Two had its world premiere at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London on February 15, 2024. It is set to be released in the United States on March 1, 2024, after being delayed from a late-2023 release due to the Hollywood labor disputes.
Plot Dune: Part Two Movies Starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya
Princess Irulan Corrino secretly journals that Paul Atreides may still be alive, while her father, Emperor Shaddam IV, is dispirited after the fall of House Atreides. En route to Sietch Tabr on Arrakis, Stilgar's Fremen troop, including Paul and Jessica, faces a Harkonnen ambush but successfully overcomes it. At the Sietch, suspicions arise about Jessica and Paul being spies. Some Fremen have faith in Paul and Jessica, believing in the prophecy of a mother and son bringing prosperity to Arrakis.
Stilgar informs Jessica that their Reverend Mother is dying, coercing her into becoming a replacement by drinking the Water of Life, a deadly poison that is typically fatal to males. She transmutes the poison and by doing so, survives and inherits the memories of every ancestor in her genetic lineage. Unbeknownst to anyone else, Jessica is pregnant with Paul’s sister; the Water of Life has awakened the mind of her daughter as well. Following this, Jessica begins to have conversations with her in the womb and believes that those in the north of Arrakis must be convinced first of the prophecy, starting with the weak. Chani and her friend Shishakli think the prophecy is false, but when Paul makes a speech about not seeking power and only wanting to fight alongside them, Chani develops respect for him.
Paul embraces Fremen ways and learns their language, passing tests like riding a sandworm. He forms a romantic relationship with Chani and assists during raids on Harkonnen spice harvesters, earning the names ‘Muad’Dib' and 'Usul.’ Jessica nefariously guides his ascent against his own judgment, fueling the religion of which she has become a prominent figure. Rabban, whose grip on spice production has been loosening, intensifies raids on the Fremen to please the Baron, who returns to his homeworld of Giedi Prime. There, the Baron’s other nephew, Feyd-Rautha, fights in gladiator tournaments for sport. Margot Fenring, a Bene Gesserit acolyte sent by the Reverend Mother Mohiam, seduces Feyd to secure his genes should Paul be truly dead.
Jessica completes her religious quest in the north, and travels south to unite with the religious fundamentalists there. Paul, angered by her actions, stays in the north to fight the Harkonnens. Jessica learns that the Water of Life is a liquid excreted by an adolescent sandworm once it is drowned. The Baron demotes Rabban, making Feyd-Rautha ruler of Arrakis. Paul reunites with Gurney Halleck, who joined the smugglers after the Atreides’ downfall. Seeing that Paul is preparing for a war, Gurney leads him to House Atreides’ hidden nuclear warheads. Feyd's troops attack Sietch Tabr, killing Shishakli and forcing survivors, including Paul, to journey south. Against Chani's wishes, Paul drinks the Water of Life, awakening with a clearer sense of the past and future; he realizes the Baron is his grandfather.
Fremen leaders in the south hope for Paul to challenge Stilgar for leadership, but Paul denounces this, declaring himself the Lisan al-Gaib and refusing to remove his force of a great fighter such as Stilgar. He assumes full power over the Fremen and challenges the Emperor, who arrives on Arrakis with Irulan, Mohiam, and his Sardaukar troops. Paul interrupts the Emperor's confrontation with the Baron by launching nuclear warheads at Arrakeen’s stronghold fortress. Riding sandworms, the Fremen overpower Sardaukar forces and breach Arrakeen’s defenses; Gurney slays a fleeing Rabban.
Paul enters the throne room, kills the Baron, and orders the Emperor and others to be transported to the Residency. There, he threatens to destroy the spice unless the Emperor surrenders. Feyd-Rautha challenges him to a duel with the Emperor’s blade in hand and loses. With no choice, Shaddam surrenders the Imperial throne, and Irulan promises to wed Paul. Angry at his decision, Chani leaves with tears in her eyes, preparing to mount a worm elsewhere. As Paul orders attacks on ships carrying many Great Houses of the Imperium in Arrakeen airspace, Jessica and her unborn daughter discuss that this is the beginning of Muad’Dib’s holy war.
