The one factor extra spectacular than watching Paul Atreides journey a sandworm in Dune: Part Two is watching director Denis Villeneuve clarify how he made it occur. Villeneuve knew the scene was arguably the most memorable and crucial scene within the second half of his adaptation, and he put a mind-numbing period of time and care into making it excellent.
From the dialogue, to the digicam angles, to vehicles pulling sand with big followers and extra, making Paul journey the sandworm was a herculean job. And in a brand new video, Villeneuve breaks down each element, with some very shocking revelations alongside the best way. Because of Vanity Fair for the video.
Two of the issues that blew my thoughts most within the video had been, initially, the concept Paul misses his Uber. I’ve seen the movie thrice and it by no means occurred to me that Paul has to run after the sandworm as a result of he’s inexperienced and screwed that up. I really like that thought behind it. The concept too that to get the sand dune to fall excellent, there have been three vehicles off-screen pulling big cylinders away is a type of issues you possibly can’t study from a e book, you simply need to determine it out whereas getting ready to make a film.
These are simply two of the various fascinating revelations right here. A couple of others are the concept Villeneuve refused to make use of synthetic gentle, so they might solely work on the scene at a sure time of day, is a testomony to his precision. And all his on-the-fly drawings and descriptions of the gimbals used are fascinating too.
Principally, listening to Villeneuve speak about how he made this scene, all the pieces that went into it, and his delight from the end result, is an ideal instance of why Dune: Half Two is so good and why different movies, which perhaps aren’t made with as a lot care, aren’t.
