Denis Villeneuve on Directing Dune Part II: 'A dream' (Watch)

For many Dune fans, Part II is the adaptation they have been waiting for.

The films represent the project of a lifetime for 56-year-old Canadian director Denis Villeneuve. He first came across the book as a teenager, at a library near his school in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec.

Villeneuve says the novel, a sweeping eco-fiction and parable of the oil economy, has only become more prescient with each passing year.

A decade ago, when Villeneuve first came to Los Angeles to work on his debut English-language film, the Hugh Jackman thriller Prisoners, he recalls that people would always ask him what his dream project would be.

“The only thing that was popping in my mind was Dune.”

Sci-fi is familiar terrain for Villeneuve, but perhaps the most crucial figure in bringing his vision to life was the Australian cinematographer Greig Fraser.
