Austin Butler refused to get his head shaved for ‘Dune 2’ so he wouldn’t wreck the look of ‘The Bikeriders’ film. The ‘Elvis’ actor, 32, plays biker Benny Bauer in the new movie, and its makers almost ran into trouble as just before the project started filming as before the star could start to work on the project he had to wrap up his work on ‘Dune 2’ as villain Feyd-Rautha – who sports a smooth scalp. Filmmaker Jeff Nichols, 45, told The Hollywood Reporter about how Austin helped him out: “We had a conversation, and I was like, ‘Look, man, you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do. “It’s ‘Dune: ...

Denis Villeneuve is "disappointed" that 'Dune: Part Two' remains the highest-grossing film of 2024. The 56-year-old director's sci-fi epic is still the most successful film of the year despite being released in March and he thinks that it is a sad indictment of the film industry that none of the summer blockbusters have been able to surpass it. Speaking after receiving the Academy Icon Award at the Canadian Screen Awards, Denis said: "I think we need movies that are theatrical experiences, that will fully embrace the power of the theatre, and I'm not just talking about 'Dune 2'.

James Cameron has hailed 'Dune: Part Two' as "pure cinema". The 'Titanic' filmmaker was very impressed by Denis Villeneuve's sequel - the highest-grossing film of 2024 so far - and he believes that the 'Sicario' director has been far more faithful to Frank Herbert's 1965 novel with his movies than David Lynch was in his "disappointing" 1984 picture. Speaking to the French publication Le Figaro, James said: "David Lynch's adaptation was disappointing. It was missing the power of Herbert's novel. "Villeneuve's films are much more convincing. The characters are sketched out, they are very identif...

Denis Villeneuve needed to add an "epic quality" to 'Dune: Part Two'. The 56-year-old director has helmed the sci-fi sequel and explained that a different approach to the first film was needed as guerrilla warfare between Paul Atreides (Timothee Chalamet) and House Harkonnen takes place. Denis told IndieWire: "It's the nature of the story. For the first movie, we are following Paul, who is discovering a world. It's more mediative, more contemplative, more him in contact with the elements. "And for the second one, he becomes a man, a guerrilla fighter falling in love, and wants to avenge his fa...

Austin Butler scaled back on the method acting for 'Dune: Part Two'. The 32-year-old actor plays the villain Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen in Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi sequel but didn't go as deeply into the character as he did when starring in 'Elvis', when he refused to abandon the music icon's unique drawl. Austin told the Los Angeles Times newspaper: "I've definitely in the past, with 'Elvis', explored living within that world for three years and that being the only thing that I think about day and night.
