The one factor extra spectacular than watching Paul Atreides experience 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 good.
From the dialogue, to the digicam angles, to vehicles pulling sand with big followers and extra, making Paul experience the sandworm was a herculean job. And in a brand new video, Villeneuve breaks down each element, with some very stunning revelations alongside the best way. Because of Vanity Fair for the video.
Two of the issues that blew my thoughts most within the video have been, to start with, the concept that 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 thought too that to get the sand dune to fall good, there have been three vehicles off-screen pulling large cylinders away is a kind of issues you’ll be able to’t study from a guide, you simply must determine it out whereas making ready to make a film.
These are simply two of the numerous fascinating revelations right here. Just a few others are the concept that 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, every part that went into it, and his pleasure from the end result, is an ideal instance of why Dune: Half Two is so good and why different movies, which possibly aren’t made with as a lot care, aren’t.
Dune Half Two is now in theaters.
