BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures’ “Dune: Part Two” is receiving a limited return engagement in select theaters across Los Angeles. Audiences eager to experience the film for the first time on the big screen, or to experience it again, will have the chance beginning Sunday, October 20 through Friday, October 25.
“Dune: Part Two,” based on the second half of Frank Herbert’s acclaimed novel, completes the cautionary tale of Paul Atreides’ swift and dangerous rise to power. Vengeance, prophecy, fervent followers and political manipulation ultimately lead Paul to abandon the formidable pull of love and his conscience to accept a fate he knows will destroy so much.
Director/co-writer/producer Villeneuve stated, “It is a thrill for me to be able to share ‘Dune: Part Two’ once again with audiences on the big screen, as I intended the film to be experienced, and thank everyone who has taken the time to come see ‘Dune: Part One’ and ‘Part Two’ in a theatre. I am excited to have a chance each night to engage with the viewers and my colleagues, to discuss our shared passion for film, and to revisit the adventure we had bringing Frank Herbert’s novel to its conclusion.”
The general public and awards voters alike can see the film in several premium formats: on IMAX® and Prime screens at AMC’s Burbank, Century City, Topanga and Universal City locations; in Dolby at the DGA; and in 70MM at the Aero Theatre. Following select screenings, Villeneuve will be joined by various “Dune: Part Two” collaborators, including producers Mary Parent and Tanya Lapointe, editor Joe Walker, re-recording mixer Ron Bartlett and composer Hans Zimmer.
