The Big Picture Dune: Part Two has opened to rave reviews in theatres, with its ensemble cast widely praised for tremendous performances across the board. And while the movie carries the kind of cast a director like Denis Villeneuve dreams of, even a film with this scope and budget still has to cut actors from the finished product sometimes, for the good of the bigger picture.
“I don’t think I’m at liberty to say what the scene was," said Nelson. "I’d leave that to Denis if he wants to talk about it. I had a great time over there shooting it. And then he had to cut it because he thought the movie was too long. And I am heartbroken over that, but there’s no hard feelings. I loved it, and I can’t wait to do something else with him, and we certainly plan to do that.
“I’m a strong believer that when it’s not in the movie, it’s dead. Sometimes I remove shots and I say, ‘I cannot believe I’m cutting this out. I feel like a samurai opening my gut. It’s painful, so I cannot go back after that and create a Frankenstein and try to reanimate things that I killed. It’s too painful. When it’s dead, it’s dead, and it’s dead for a reason. But yes, it is a painful project, but it is my job. The movie prevails. I’m very severe in the editing room.
