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...

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 ...
