Dune 2 Script & Filming Update Given By Director
Dune director Denis Villeneuve gives an update on the progress of the script for Dune 2 and the filming schedule. Dune hit theaters in October 2021 and was subsequently put on HBO Max to stream.

Soon after accepting this responsibility, House Harkonnen attempts to arrest control of Arrakis by making attempts on the lives of noble family members in House Atreides and invading the planet to begin a war.
