Villeneuve will also be overseeing a Dune TV series which will run on Warner Bros’ new streaming service.
Denis Villeneuve’s long-anticipated adaptation of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi novel series Dune will be split into two movies as the director believes the world is “too complex” to fit into one feature.
“I would not agree to make this adaptation of the book with one single movie,” Villeneuve told Vanity Fair.
Scheduled to land on 18 December, the all-star cast of Dune includes Timothée Chalamet as the book’s protagonist Paul Atreides.
