Rebecca Ferguson in an intricate head piece in Dune: Part Two
Dune: Part Two has been one of the biggest movies of the year, garnering universal acclaim from both critics and general audiences on its way to grossing more than $700 million at the global box office. However, the film has been under a different kind of microscope the last few months following the announcement that its score, which was produced by legendary composer Hans Zimmer, would be ineligible for the Oscars due to its similar to the Dune: Part One score.
There was the story that I was ineligible. What you’re saying you shouldn’t be allowed to use this form of storytelling. “The Lord of the Rings” used this form of storytelling as well. They had one book and one story which they needed because of its sheer size and weightiness, they needed to divide into three parts. We are dividing it into three parts, but we had to split the first book.
Before I went on tour, everybody was saying to me, “Oh, the audience’s attention span is terrible these days, and you have to make things short.” Well, that’s not true. The “Pirates” piece is 14 minutes. I think “The Dark Knight” piece is 22 minutes and the audience is with us. And when Denis wants to go and do “Dune” in two long parts, the audience will stay with us. But part of that is you have to go and be able to develop your themes.
