“There are some characters that are less developed that I’m keeping for the second film — that’s the way I found the equilibrium,” Denis told the Los Angeles Times. “We tried in this movie to stay as close as possible to Paul’s experience. Then, in the second one, I will have time to develop some characters that were left aside a little bit. That’s the theory. I hope it will work.”

Fans of Dune will be happy with the news that broke yesterday!
