Denis Villeneuve expands the canvas of ‘Dune’ as he continues the story of Paul ‘Muad’Dib’ Atreides and his rise on Arrakis
A newer, longer and more explosive trailer for Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two was released by Warner Brothers Pictures on Thursday.
In the trailer, Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) is cautiously starting his new life among the Fremen inhabitants on planet Arrakis. He has drawn close to Chani (Zendaya), a native Fremen, and Stilgar (Javier Bardem), their charismatic leader. The Fremen view Paul as a likely messiah who will lead them out of slavery and oppression. When Paul is reunited with Gurney Halleck, the warmaster of House Atreides played by Josh Brolin, Gurney advises him to use his newfound power and position to seek revenge for the killing of Duke Leto. But Paul is hesitant; he’s witnessed the approaching ‘horror’ and devastation in mysterious prescient dreams.
Dune: Part Two focuses on the concluding portions of Frank Herbert’s 1965 sci-fi novel. Besides Paul and his mother Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson), characters like Princess Irulan (Florence Pugh) and House Harkonnen heir Feyd-Rautha (Austin Butler) will be instrumental in settling the fate of Arrakis and returning political stability to the Known Universe. The new trailer also introduces Christopher Walken as Emperor Shaddam IV, who brusquely tells Paul in one scene that his father Leto was a ‘weak man’.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Villeneuve said Part Two picks up directly from the events of the first film. “I wanted the movie to really open just where we left the characters. There’s no time jump. I wanted dramatic continuity with part one,” the filmmaker was quoted as saying.
Dune: Part Two releases in theatres on November 3, 2023.
When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
