Nolan exclaims that “Dune: Part 2'' is a “miraculous film adaptation'' – “Usually they simplify the original work, but this is a world that is more than a novel.''

christopher nolanDirected by Denis Villeneuve“Dune Sand Planet PART 2”once again received a great compliment. The two trust each other and can now be called allies. They appeared at a screening event sponsored by Warner Bros. and passionately talked about film production.

Nolan went on stage after the screening and said, “I didn't say it publicly, but I said to you, “I love the first movie, but it ended at the point where it would be difficult to make it into a movie.'' I was secretly saying that,” he said. While praising his previous work “DUNE'' (2021), he also hinted that he felt that “the battle begins here.''

“Several years later, I watched the second part (‘PART 2’),It is a miraculous film adaptation and provides a wonderful ending to the story.I thought. There are so many questions about how they did this. For example, Usul, Muaddib, Paul, and Rissan Al-Ghaib… Did you think you could give one character so many names and think we'd be able to follow him? (laughs)

Nolan tries to say this in a joking manner, but then corrects himself by saying, “Actually, this is a serious question.'' “Most adaptations are compressed and simplified versions of the original work. However, the second work in particular goes a little further, delving into and embracing the complexities to create a world that is even greater than the original.. How the hell did you do that?”

In response to this question, Villeneuve said, “In order to avoid over-explanation and make it as cinematic as possible, we did a huge amount of work from the script stage.The previous work had a lot of explanation, so this time I wanted to do my best.'' revealed. He made sure that the opening of the film reminded the audience of the relationships and setting of the previous film, and that spirit permeated the film in all its forms.

By the way, Nolan previously said, “If “Dune'' is “Star Wars,'' then “Part 2'' is “The Empire Strikes Back.'' It's my favorite in the “Star Wars'' series, and it's better than the previous work. “Everything is unfolding in an incredibly exciting way.” Film director Steven Spielberg also praised the film, calling it “one of the most brilliant science fiction films ever made.''

Currently, “Dune: Part 2'' is seen as one of the leading candidates for the Academy Award. This conversation between Nolan and Villeneuve was also held as part of the promotion for the upcoming award race, but how far will it go? At the end of the talk, Nolan also said“It's an amazing piece of work.”I said it again.
