Production On Dune: Part Two Has Officially Kicked-Off

When Warner Bros. released Dune back in 2021, some were worried because it was quite clear that this was only half a movie and no one had actually committed to making a sequel yet. There was also the fact that Dune was greenlit in a time when everyone thought that 2018/2019 box office numbers were something that every movie could attain and that just wasn't realistic even before the pandemic. However, Dune did well at the box office, and its hybrid release that Legendary and Warner Bros. committed to Dune: Part Two. We just saw a brief delay in this movie from October to November of 2023, but that's nothing, and it looks like they should be all right to hit that release date. The official Twitter account announced that production on Dune: Part Two had begun.

Dune Summary: A mythic and emotionally charged hero's journey, "Dune" tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet's exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence—a commodity capable of unlocking humanity's greatest potential—only those who can conquer their fear will survive.
