Director Denis Villeneuve spoke about the changes in his new film, which opens on December 18.
Paul Atreides won. He defeated the emperor of the galaxy and assumed the throne himself. And yet, his victory atdidn’t feel particularly triumphant. Paul had to make many, many sacrifices to get to that point, including giving up the love of his life, Chani.
And now,trilogy is out now. And, to celebrate the release, the director and members of his cast held an event in Los Angeles to tease what’s to come. The most revealing part was when Villeneuve explained how“I said to myself, it’s a good idea to come back to this world, not by nostalgia but by urgency. And to go there with a critical eye and the idea not to be self-indulgent,” Villeneuve said at the event. “I said to my team that it will be a very different film, a very differentmovie, with a different tone, with a different rhythm, with a different pace. If the first movie was more of a contemplation, like a movie that exploring a new world, and the second one being a war movie, this one is a thriller. It’s a more action-packed and more intense film, more muscular than the two others, I would say.”He went on to explain what he meant by it being a thriller. “There’s a time gap, 17 years, where we see Paul dealing with the consequences of having too much power and him trying to figure out how to get out of this cycle of violence,” Villeneuve said. “And of course, he’s an emperor who can see the future, so he’s kind of invincible. And we follow people trying to overthrow him. And it’s a quite intense story. But at the heart, it’s still a love story. The heartbeat of the film is still the relationship between Paul and Chani. And I’m very excited. I can’t wait to share the movie with you guys.”is by far my favorite book of the series,” he said. “It’s a very dark book, a beautiful book. And this time, I will say this is one of my most personal films, if not my most personal film. So it’s a film that is very close to me and very contemporary.”“It’s about the story of Paul and Chani, them struggling with their relationship, having the burden and incredible pressure from the world around them,” Villeneuve continued. “And there’s something about their love and their time and the way they are, the way their relationship evolved. That study on the relationship of both characters that is very personal to me.”more exciting and emotional than the previous two films, it’s going to look different as well. You get a taste from the new trailer, but for“ changed in those years,” Villeneuve said as to why he switched cinematographers. “The climate is different. It’s still the desert planet, but there are differences. We are visiting new sets, new places. I brought the camera to areas of the planet that you guys have not seen before. And we are visiting new planets as well. And I wanted to approach this with a new pair of eyes.”One person who is coming back, though, is composer Hans Zimmer. His music from the previous two films very much defined whatis, so Villeneuve knew he had to come back with a slight twist. “Hans is working on the music already… But like the movie is different, the score would be different,” Villeneuve said. “And it’s something that Hans is very excited about and approaching with the same spirit as the two first films.”1:30 pmSamsung Galaxy Smartphones Start at $1 With Mint Mobile’s $15/mo Unlimited Plan, Including A16 for $1 and A17 for $20The ‘Dune: Part Three’ Trailer Makes It Look More Awesome Than the LastCheryl EddyAccording to Chalamet, 'Dune: Part Three' will take a big swing or two and let him throw some acting curveballs to the audience.'Dune: Part 3' and 'Avengers: Doomsday' share the same December 2026 date.
