Denis Villeneuve: ‘Dune: Part 2’ to Film by ‘End of Summer,’ Script Has ‘More Harkonnen Stuff’
Zack Sharf Any “Dune” fan disappointed with Dave Bautista’s lack of screen time in the 10-time Oscar-nominated epic are in luck, as director Denis Villeneuve promises a lot more “Harkonnen stuff” is coming in the sequel. Bautista stars in the “Dune” franchise as Glossu Rabban, the sadistic nephew of the villainous Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgård). Villeneuve told Empire magazine that reducing Harkonnen screen time in “Dune” was simply the result of the adaptation process and spreading Frank Herbert’s novel across two films.“When you adapt, you have to make bold choices in order for the things to come to life,” Villeneuve said.
