Director Christopher Nolan has revealed which Star Wars movie reminded him of Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two.
-led sequel earned a worldwide gross of over $710 million at the box office, making it one of the highest-grossing movies of 2024. It currently holds a Certified Fresh rating of 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is a bit higher than its predecessor.
“The film will explore the mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a warpath of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family,” reads the synopsis. “Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, he endeavors to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.
“Taking the second half and making an incredible conclusion to the story. What a remarkable piece of work,” Nolan said. “If, to me, Dune was like Star Wars, then Dune 2 is The Empire Strikes Back, which is my favorite Star Wars film. I think it’s just a great expansion of all that was introduced in the first one.”
He continued, “What I was really struck by is the sense of immersion in that world. It’s a film that has so many unique images, so many things you’ve never seen before in this movie, time after time, and I was so struck by the detail of everything.”, Rebecca Ferguson, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Christopher Walken, Florence Pugh, Austin Butler, Léa Seydoux, and Anya Taylor-Joy.
