‘Dune: Part 2’ announces start of filming with its official synopsis and cast confirmation

After winning 6 Oscars and combining praise from critics and audiences, ‘Dune’ became one of the cinematographic phenomena of last year by adapting Frank Herbert’s novel after David Lynch’s previous attempt and his particular ‘Dune’. Since then, fans have been eager for new news, signings and details that advance what we could see in the sequel. As well, ‘Dune: Part 2’ has announced the start of filming and, in addition, has revealed the official synopsiswhich will follow in the footsteps of Timothée Chalamet’s Paul Atreides and his mimicry with the Fremen to get his revenge.

They have done it through their social networks, where they have published an image that shows us a clapperboard with the names of Denis Villeneuve, the director, and Greig Fraser, cinematographer who repeats in the sequel. Also, we see big “Part 2” and a little subtitle, “Long live the fighters!”which could advance the importance of the Fremen and their warrior spirit in ‘Dune 2’.

Along with this announcement we also get the official synopsis of the sequel, to whet your appetite. “‘Dune: Part 2′ will explore Paul Atreides’ mythical journey as he joins Chani and the Fremen in a war against the conspirators who murdered his family. Faced with a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, Paul will strive to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.”.

With a release (exclusively in theaters) set for the November 17, 2023, ‘Dune: Part 2’ will be written again by Jon Spaiths and Villeneuve himself. They are more than insured the returns of Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Stellan Skarsgård and Dave Bautista (in addition to Chalamet himself), while those of Oscar Isaac and Jason Momoa will depend on the director’s fidelity to the book. Although this cast already seemed quite stellar, many names have been added in recent months and we already have the first leaked photo of some.

First look at Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan

Last March we had confirmation that Florence Pugh would play one of the key characters in the universe of novels: Princess Irulan. We finally got a (fuzzy) look at his look, which seems to stay true to the book: blond and in an elegant white dress. Without knowing if this will be his final appearance, the leaked image of Irulan confirms that ‘Dune 2’ is already going from strength to strength.

Irulan, who will get in the middle of the relationship between Paul and Chani, is the eldest daughter of the Emperor Padisha Corrino IV, played by Christopher Walken. In order to destroy the Atreides, the emperor of the known universe will ally himself with the Harkonnens, whose designated heir, Feyd-Rautha will be played by Austin Butler, currently riding high for his brilliant performance in ‘Elvis’. The signing of Léa Seydoux was also confirmed as Lady Margot, a Bene Gesserit who will try to help Paul on his journey.
