Denis Villeneuve says Zendaya's role in Dune was 'a promise' for 'a prominent part' in 'Dune: Part Two.' 'We will follow Timothée and Zendaya on their adventures in the desert. That’s the thing that excited me most about going back to Arrakis.'
. “I prefer people say you should have been there instead of ‘what the hell are you doing there?’ I’m not making movies to get awards recognition. If you do that, you’re not walking the right path. I make cinema because I love the art form of cinema. I love making movies. If you had told me a year ago that we would get 10 nominations, including best picture, I would have laughed and said, ” You are out of your mind.
In addition, he praises his phenomenal team of artisans, who are all nominated for every technical Oscar category, only the sixth film in history to achieve this feat. The filmmaker also chats about two other projects on his docket, including “Rendezvous with Rama,” which he calls “‘Arrival’ on steroids,” and the remake of “Cleopatra.” He also shares that he wants Adam McKay to write him a dark comedy to direct and the possibility of wanting to make a French-Canadian musical.
Villeneuve addresses the rumors of Oscar-nominee Florence Pugh joining the “Dune 2” cast but shares, “things are not solidified.” Nonetheless, he is a “big fan of Florence.” Regarding Zendaya, who played Chani and had a minor role in his nominated film, he says: “For Zendaya, I will say Part One was a promise. I know that we saw a glimpse of her in Part One, but in Part Two, she’ll have a prominent part. We will follow Timothée [Chalamet] and Zendaya on their adventures in the desert.
