'Dune: Part Two' Director Denis Villeneuve Breaks Down the Sandworm Scene | Vanity Fair
Ойын-сауық
'Dune: Part Two' director Denis Villeneuve breaks down the glorious scene where Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) uses the thumper for the first time to draw a sandworm out from beneath the surface as Chani (Zendaya), Stilgar (Javier Bardem) and the Fremen look on. Denis explains how he built the "most important" scene of the film over the course of 44 days, with the use of various sunlight levels and blending of visual effects to make it feel edgy and real.

This scene is insane, in the cinema you can feel like you're getting drowned in sand, and the shaking and bumping of the stunman on top of the platform makes it so real. At the end, when the camera pans and you see the fremen rising their fist to that awesome HZ track, you get chills and then you get that worrisome look on Chani, that's when you realize there's no turning back. Paul has ascended.
I’ve seen a lot of people have issues with Chani’s change in the movie but with Denis’ reasoning, it makes perfect sense why that change would be more impactful in the movie’s plot.

I always personally thought that 'fans' should not make adaptations. Fan films and other fan projects tend to be overreaching cringeworthy productions, which recreate childhood imaginations very often without the depth and meaning of the source material. There are, of course, exceptions....but not many. And I think Star Wars is a great example of what can happen with that when you attach a billion dollar budget to it too. But Denis seems to have figured out the answer to all of that. He's so humble about his approach, he's taken the ego out of it. What that actually means, is that the younger dreamer inside of him actually feels unsatisfied. He mentioned as much at the end of this video, that many parts of the film actually don't meet his expectations as a 'fan'. That's some real irony there, as many neckbeards around the net have already torn into him for making changes to the plot, and in some cases accused him of worse, such as changing the soul and meaning of the novel. I think the young Denis would agree with them. Yet the Denis of here and now made this movie the way it is because it's more immersive, it's amazing on film and in the theater. He essentially made himself approach it as a non-fan. But the great thing about that is 'fan' inside him still exists will still fight for some pieces of the pie. We get scenes like this one, and the 'fan' fights for it to be done to the utmost potential, well-balanced with the rest of the film.

Okay. This scene is actually one of the biggest arguments that could be made for the debate of real prophecy vs. Bene Gesserit planning. Because the Bene Gesserit could have written in that a boy will ride a grandfather sandworm (in my opinion that seems more of a Fremen legend that evolved over time), but could they _call_ that worm? The Bene Gesserit control humanity, not animals, not ecosystems. So how could they have known this would happen? Is there really a Fremen hero? I feel like this scene goes hand in hand with the gom jabbar scene in the previous movie. One scene confirms Paul as the Bene Gesserit’s Kwisatz Haderach (or points to it) and the other confirms Paul as the Fremen’s Lisan al Gaib (or points to it). And these scenes are constantly tugging at each other, defending the opposite argument, and there might not be any real answer.

Here's the thing, nothing actually confirms that it is the biggest worm ever. Yes, a third party believer SAID it was the biggest ever. And the Fremen reaction at the place confirms that it was truly a big one; but was it truly a "grandfather sandworm"? I mean, we've seen in real life a lot of hyperbole about things that people have seen. People exaggerate, especially when they talk about things that relate to their faith. They see what they want to see.

About the goggles... I've seen the movie 4 times and it took me 4 times to finally notice what is happening with the goggles. When the fremen attack the spice harvester at the beginning of the movie, there's a moment when we see Paul and Chani running with goggles, but while running, the goggles retract, it's subtle so it's easy to miss... so that is what happening... So when Paul is running on the dune and he seems to have no goggles, he has the goggles on, it's just that they're retractable

The fear in Chanis eyes when she realizes just how big that grandfather is. Perfection. For her to be afraid, You know that thing is a BEHEMOTH. Full body goose bumps in the theater and even now watching on my phone. I haven’t felt that way at the movies in a VERY long time. DV gave us generational fans more than we could’ve ever wished for. These films are fine art and I’m certain Frank would agree.
I also loved how sensually Timothee inserted the thumper into the sand in the sand worm scene. It felt almost ceremonial in nature. Like a knife being inserted into a body. It feels related to the scene when he gets stabbed in the final fight against Feyd.
In Villeneuve we trust. The movies he touches turn to gold. He deserves all the glazing

It is truly a treat to see a director, who clearly has alot of love for the source material, be so incredibly well supported by so many amazing talents in every aspect of the film (Production, Score, Costume), and be given the resources to make an adaption so well executed. You don't see that every day.
The immense joy of listening a very skilled professionnal speaking with precision and passion about his creation. Priceless.
If he wanted us to feel that it was real, he did an incredibly great job. Best scene in the film
What Villanueva created with Part 2 was truly incredible. I was in awe basically the entire movie.
you have raised the bar on not just Sci Fi but movies in general. Thank you
I hope we remember this dude's name in the future as much as we remember Scorcese or Tarantino. Dune and Dune Part Two and are literal works of ART. Cinema in its purest form made by someone with sensibility to make not only a billion dollar product but to embody a literature primordial classic with all the potential it deserves.
It is so difficult to create a "goosebumps" moment, but Denís did it. 🥰👏
Mad props to Chalamet’s stunt double as well! 🎉🎉🎉
Denis Villeneuve, just saying, there IS a niche out there for five hour-long videos of deep dive analyses of your movies, and I want you to capitalize on it for my own enjoyment's case.
This might be the first movie I was so excited to watch in theaters for a 2nd time. I’ve always been a one time theater viewer until I experienced this masterpiece.
I don´t believe anyone else could have done this amazing story as much justice as Villeneuve. attention to cinematography, innovation, soundtrack with zimmer, dedication to stick to the source material and expand only where herbert did not elaborate. just, absolute masterpiece.
Watching this in the theatre was such an awesome experience! When Paul is first shown walking on top of the dune the soundtrack goes 100% silent, and it's the first time I've ever been able to hear that utter silence in the audience as well. It's amazing when you can feel the emotional response of the audience around you, without seeing them, or hearing them...
Dune is the only franchise that feels (nearly) as EPIC as LotR ❤

It's great, but nothing is close to LOTR.

@@rkdeshdeepak4131 Why can't we have both,? they don't need to be the same thing. I've never thought let me go back and watch LOTR, ye have watched Dune about 7 times now...even went to the cinema for the first time in 30 years just to watch Dune 1, and bought friends and family tickets so they could feel my joy. never ever had that feeling with LOTR...

@@MuantanamoMobile Dune is great, I have myself watched 2 times. I haven't watched LOTR in theater, I would do anything for that. Just the friendship, the camaraderie , the characters, the eucatastrophe just gets me every time, few lines of dialogues at ROTK ending ( My friends you bow to no one, I can't carry it for you..., For Frodo , What about side by side with a friend) , makes me cry every time I watch it, like no other movie could. The divine music, the divine love/marriage , the struggles.
Perhaps the only person who can make two films better than one book.
I could watch a whole +8 hour documentary of the whole creation of this movie. So much craft and love for cinema. Denis is truly one of a kind in this generation.
I saw this today in IMAX 70mm…. this production was on a WHOLE ANOTHER LEVEL. Seeing this in the full aspect ratio really sent chills down my spine🔥
The complexity that is AAA movie making... It's fascinating. Almost as fascinating as hearing his brilliant thoughts laid out. Amazing job sir, I salute You.
When I saw D2 for the first time in late February I said that Denis was the master of tactile, closeup and wideangle cinematography. You could almost hear and touch the sand. Now he said this himself! The best and most inspiring director of all time for me.

@@Suedetussy As a photographer myself, I don't even want to know how many lenses, filters and equipment they sacrificed for these shots even with the careful planing and protection. Sand is one of the worst weather particles that can absolutely shred the lenses and the sensor to unusable pieces.
One of my favorite moments of this video is when Denis just casually mentions that they made their own sand dune in order to capture the sunlight in a particular way lol like yea for sure that's totally normal and not insane at all 😂
I like how the Dune movies have propelled his name recognition because every single film he directs is great
seeing this in theatres was genuinely the most amazing immersive experience, i'm SO grateful denis put so much attention to all the little details
can we get him to do this for the entire movie please

Directors commentary, we miss them
I appreciate the depth and carefulness that Villeneuve imbues his films with. He's one of the most purposeful directors I can recall ... every single detail has been thought out carefully, teased apart and put back together specifically and only to make it perfect for the story. It feels almost like the decisions he's making aren't HIS, but the STORY's ... like the story is telling Denis how it wants to be told. It takes someone with a pretty profound sense of humility and self-effacement to think of it this way, and not get carried away with his own "artistic vision" (I mean, he certainly has an artistic vision, but it's deeply embedded in the story, so that it FEELS completely natural). He's a visual and storytelling genius, that's for sure.
The scene with Paul running as the sand cascades in half will always be one of my favorites shots in cinema.
Denis is so attentive to every detail and well-spoken. I love his passion for Dune.
Best notes on a scene ever. Thank you to Denis for taking time and care to share this with us.
One of the surest signs that this guy loves Dune is that he actually wanted to BUILD the world of Dune. Not just do it all in post production
I didn't feel any tension, just excitement to see it happen.
