However, a bitter betrayal forces Paul and Jessica into the arms of the Fremen, Arrakis’ native people who want to fight back against their oppressors…
IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
The second major adaptation of Frank Herbert’s influential sci-fi novel Dune – the first made by none other than David Lynch, who has since disowned the divisive film – is in safe hands thanks to master director Denis Villeneuve, and an all-star cast who are just as determined to make the material work this time round.
