Denis Villeneuve: Truthfully, it's a desire. It's truly the most gorgeous praise that you enjoyed the flick as well as wish to celebrate it this way. It touched me.

I made this flick thinking of the teenager inside me. I returned in that zone. However at the end of the day, a flick exists once it's shared with target market members. To know that people are feeling we recognized the resource product-- that's a relief.

What scenes would 14-year-old Denis have been most satisfied with?


I would claim that the Gom Jabbar is a scene that is close to the very early dreams that I had. The trip in the desert, when Paul sees a worm for the really very first time. When he satisfies the Fremen at the end of the film, the whole scene is quite near to the spirit of what I wanted. In some cases it's just a framework. The battle at the end between Duncan Idaho and the Sardukar. There are some moments that I resemble, "Ooh, that's close to the dream."
How did you select a suitable place to finish Part One?

It took the whole screenwriting process. At the start, with Eric Roth, we were finishing the flick a lot later. The first suggestion was to end up the flick when Paul was doing his first worm trip. After that we attempted to go till the time dive of the book. However neither of those opportunities really felt right, because it constantly felt like the start of something brand-new. I recognize it can really feel, to some people, a little sudden. Yet the fact that people claim "I want more" is a success. The reverse would have been a disaster.

The aesthetic of Paul riding a sandworm is one that you've had in mind for more than 40 years. Exists anything else you're more excited to put on display in Part 2?



It's mosting likely to be among one of the most interesting as well as tough scenes that I will certainly have to do as a supervisor. I recognize precisely how to do it. The method we come close to [sandworm riding] in the very first part, it's similar to an evocation. We see them riding in the distance. Yet the potential of worm-riding is substantial. Already, with Timothée, we have actually done an examination for him, as we were [shooting] the very first movie. There are shots that I didn't put in the flick. Yet it's so interesting.
