‘Dune: Part Two’: Read The Screenplay By Denis Villeneuve & Jon Spaihts Where Things Get Spicy On Arrakis
Dune: Part Two, the anticipated follow-up to 2021’s six-time Oscar-winning Dune, was written by Denis Villeneuve and Jon Spaihts.
The first film’s writing team of Spaihts, Villeneuve and Eric Roth were nominated for the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar, making expectations high for sequel, which has delivered, grossing $714 million worldwide since its global release in March. On the other side lies the Harkonnen, a family of ruthless despots led by the sadistic Beast Rabban (Dave Bautista), the monstrous Baron Vladimir (Stellan Skarsgård), and the ambitious Feyd-Rautha (Austin Butler), who represent the manifestation of corruption, violence and greed. Where they meet is the conflicted story of Paul, leaning into Chani’s fierceness and the wisdom of Stilgar (Javier Bardem) to gain the trust and support of the Fremen people, while the Harkonnens continue to ravage the sands of Arrakis for spice — though their efforts do not go unopposed, further enraging them and leading to an all-out war.
