Ep 267: “Dune: Part 2”

March 05, 2024

We chip and shatter Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune part 2” and discuss:


  • Cinematography, exposure for story, backlighting the sun;
  • Story & Writing, na-Baron;
  • Performances, Zendaya’s layers, Javier Bardem going all out;
  • and other such stuff and things and stuff.

You can have the power to destroy, but it doesn’t give you the power to reform, or improve, or build. – George R.R. Martin


Notes & References:
Update 3/27/2024: Denis went on the DGA Podcast with Spielberg and said that the kissing scene actually was filmed over 4 or 5 days to catch the light at a very specific time of day, so no French Reverse there!
Currently no Academy Award for stunts
