This film, which grossed approximately $715 million worldwide, serves as the direct sequel to the 2021 adaptation of Frank Herbert's 1965 novel and covers the second half of that book.

    Dune: Part Two

    Dune: Part Two is a 2024 American epic space opera film directed by Denis Villeneuve, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jon Spaihts. The sequel to Dune (2021), it is the second of a two-part adaptation of the 1965 novel Dune by Frank Herbert, and the second installment of Villeneuve's Dune film trilogy. It follows Paul Atreides as he unites with the Fremen people of the desert planet Arrakis to wage war against House Harkonnen. Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Charlotte Rampling, and Javier Bardem reprise their roles from the first film, with Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Christopher Walken, and Léa Seydoux joining the cast. Development began after Legendary Entertainment acquired film and television rights for the Dune franchise in 2016. Villeneuve signed on as director in 2017, intending to make a two-part adaptation of the novel due to its complexity. Production contracts were only secured for the first film before the second film was greenlit by Legendary in October 2021, subject to the success of the first. Principal photography took place in Budapest, Italy, Jordan, and Abu Dhabi between July and December 2022. Delayed from a November 2023 release date due to the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes, Dune: Part Two premiered at the Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City on February 6, 2024. It was released in the United States on March 1, to positive reviews and grossed $715 million worldwide, surpassing its predecessor and becoming the seventh highest-grossing film of 2024. It received numerous accolades, including being named one of the top 10 films of 2024 by the American Film Institute. It received five nominations at the 97th Academy Awards (including Best Picture), winning Best Sound and Best Visual Effects. It also won two BAFTAs for Best Sound and Best Special Visual Effects, and received two nominations at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, including Best Motion Picture – Drama. Dune: Part Three, a third film based on Herbert's 1969 novel Dune Messiah, is in production and scheduled to be released on December 18, 2026.
