Dune: Part Two’s Trailer and Why It Was Split Into Two Films

Has splitting Dune into two parts potentially confused the message of the sci-fi epic? Paul Atreides checks many of the boxes of the noble protagonist chosen to lead. But some of Paul’s prescient visions of the future hint at future disaster. And fans of Herbert’s writing will know that things aren’t so simple—the further we get in the series, the more complicated, and even villainous, Paul becomes. To be fair, the novel was also originally published as serials, but its two sections were released as a number of parts over time, making it easier for viewers to track complex, ambiguous developments– more like the experience of TV installments than the singular emotional arc and thematic feel of a film you watch all at once. So what’s the effect of director Denis Villeneuve dividing this narrative in two, and what hints do we get about what’s to come from the trailer?
