James Cameron has hailed 'Dune: Part Two' as "pure cinema". The 'Titanic' filmmaker was very impressed by Denis Villeneuve's sequel - the highest-grossing film of 2024 so far - and he believes that the 'Sicario' director has been far more faithful to Frank Herbert's 1965 novel with his movies than David Lynch was in his "disappointing" 1984 picture. Speaking to the French publication Le Figaro, James said: "David Lynch's adaptation was disappointing. It was missing the power of Herbert's novel. "Villeneuve's films are much more convincing. The characters are sketched out, they are very identif...

Tim Blake Nelson is "heartbroken" that his scene from blockbuster 'Dune: Part Two' was left on the cutting room floor. The 59-year-old actor was left gutted when he found out his contribution to the sequel to Denis Villeneuve's 2021 film adaptation of 1965 novel of the same name by Frank Herbert was cut due to the film being too long. However, he still plans to work with the director again. He told MovieWeb: "I don't think I'm at liberty to say what the scene was. I'd leave that to Denis [Villeneuve] if he wants to talk about it. I had a great time over there shooting it. And then he had to cu...

Denis Villeneuve needed to add an "epic quality" to 'Dune: Part Two'. The 56-year-old director has helmed the sci-fi sequel and explained that a different approach to the first film was needed as guerrilla warfare between Paul Atreides (Timothee Chalamet) and House Harkonnen takes place. Denis told IndieWire: "It's the nature of the story. For the first movie, we are following Paul, who is discovering a world. It's more mediative, more contemplative, more him in contact with the elements. "And for the second one, he becomes a man, a guerrilla fighter falling in love, and wants to avenge his fa...

Denis Villeneuve deliberately kept Anya Taylor-Joy's cameo appearance in 'Dune: Part Two' under wraps. The 27-year-old actress confirmed online speculation that she features in the sci-fi blockbuster when she appeared on the red carpet at the movie's premiere in London earlier this month and the director revealed that he wanted it to be a shock for audiences. Denis told The Hollywood Reporter at the picture's New York premiere on Sunday (25.02.24): "I think that Hollywood is the most gossipy town on earth and I wanted, as an experiment, to see how long we could keep a secret. "We did it. It wa...

Austin Butler scaled back on the method acting for 'Dune: Part Two'. The 32-year-old actor plays the villain Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen in Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi sequel but didn't go as deeply into the character as he did when starring in 'Elvis', when he refused to abandon the music icon's unique drawl. Austin told the Los Angeles Times newspaper: "I've definitely in the past, with 'Elvis', explored living within that world for three years and that being the only thing that I think about day and night. "With Feyd, I knew that that would be unhealthy for my family and friends." He continued: "So...

Austin Butler battled brutally hot conditions in his first week on the set of 'Dune: Part Two'. The 32-year-old star joins the epic sci-fi franchise in the new movie as the sadistic Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen and revealed how heat stroke took its toll on the cast and crew during his opening week of shooting. Austin told Entertainment Weekly: "It was 110 degrees and so hot. I had the bald cap on, and it was between two soundstages that were just gray boxes of 200-foot walls and sand. It became like a microwave. There were people passing out from heat stroke. And that was just my first week." However...

Dave Bautista was moved to tears when he was offered a role in 'Dune'. The 55-year-old star reprises his role as Glossu Rabban in the sci-fi sequel and reflected on how he was moved to be given the part in the first place after convincing director Denis Villeneuve that he had the acting ability in 'Blade Runner 2049'. Reflecting on the phone call he had with the filmmaker, Dave told Collider: "Anything past, 'I really want you to play this role', I didn't hear. "You know my story; I had to fight really hard for the first 'Blade Runner' film. Like I had to do an audition, a makeup test, and scr...

Austin Butler didn't want to copy Sting and wear winged underwear playing Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen in 'Dune: Part Two'. The 'Elvis' star plays the "psychotic" character in Denis Villeneuve's second film of a two-part adaptation of the 1965 novel 'Dune' by Frank Herbert, and as much as he loved the former Police frontman's leather-like trunks in David Lynch's 1984 movie, he wanted to do something different. Feyd-Rautha is Baron Vladimir Harkonnen's (Stellan Skarsgard) youngest nephew and planned successor of House Harkonnen. In an interview with Total Film magazine, Austin said of introduction to ...
