There's good news for fans awaiting Dune: Part 2.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Dune: Part 2 has faced rumors of delays after the first installment of Denis Villeneuve's science-fiction epic set the stage for a franchise, but now an update can give fans some hope. Director Villeneuve's 2021 movie adaptation, starring Timothée Chalamet, followed the first part of Frank Herbert's groundbreaking novel Dune and built an impressive world of alien landscapes and shadowy political intrigue.
The talk of delays came as Hollywood writer and actor strikes continued to cast doubt on film schedules. Thankfully, though, it seems that for Dune: Part 2, things are staying on track. IMAX CEO Richard Gelfond said that Dune: Part 2 is not likely to be delayed, arguing it is "out of the gate" already.
Adapting the Dune novels is already something associated with difficulty and risk. The books, set in a future era in which humanity is much-changed, are notoriously complicated, with plot development taking place via prophetic dreams and internal conversations with ancestors. Plus, parts of Frank Herbert's Dune are just plain weird – so it's little surprise TV versions have struggled and David Lynch's 1984 movie version was savaged by some reviewers.
Villeneuve's Dune Can Still Feel Like A Missed Opportunity – Despite Success Dune: Part 1 got good reviews and a strong box-office showing, but this was still hampered by the pandemic's effect on theaters, with the film simultaneously released for at-home streaming. As a big-budget blockbuster, with breathtaking special effects, it likely would have had a better showing amid more normal times – a shame after fans had waited decades for such a stylish adaptation of Herbert's novel.
All these factors add up to more risks facing Dune: Part 2, and would make it more of a missed opportunity if it didn't maintain Dune: Part 1's strong critical reception and huge cultural impact, as well as putting a possible Dune: Part 3 at risk. However, an on-time theater release is a good sign.
