Denis Villeneuve reveals Dune Part Two script "solidified"

Dune director and writer Denis Villeneuve has provided an update on the upcoming sequel, revealing that the script is now 'mostly finished'.

The dystopian sci-fi movie, which stars Timothee Chalamet, was a critical success upon its release last year and delivered a decent $400m return at the box office, resulting in a green light for Dune: Part Two.

Filming of the follow-up is due to begin this summer, with Chalamet returning alongside Josh Brolin, Zendaya and Rebecca Ferguson.

Asked for an update on the sequel, Villeneuve told Variety: "The screenplay is finished mostly, but it's always a work in progress. It'll be a work in progress until final cut, but I will say it's solidified.

"I have a script in my hands. We are in prep right now. My crew, we are in full prep for the movie."

Dune: Part Two is scheduled for release on October 20, 2023.
