He’s additionally presenting left and proper ideas (Bene Gesserit Order, Quisatz Haderach, Sandworm, Fremen, Harkonnens) with out giving any context.
As in Lynch's movie (and ebook), we get these beautiful inside thought voiceovers. Duke Leto (Oscar Isaac) half One) thinks to himself, “We've solely been on this cursed planet for 2 days and the Harkonnens are already at work!” Usually these VOs include psychological conversations between two characters, a way Villeneuve makes use of a number of instances. half TwoBetween Fayed (Austin Butler) and Girl Fenring (Léa Seydoux).
When Herbert's script introduces the world of the hedonistic Harkonnens, who covet the jewel-encrusted globe of Arrakis of their gilded ship embellished with pornographic work, the stage-drama-esque continuation of the bare-faced expository dialogue continues . Introducing a personality not in Villeneuve's movie, he’s proven torturing Vana with an “agony field” as Fayed compulsively videotapes it for Vana's husband, Physician Yuh, so he can return to Home Atreides. Will make his bid towards. She calls them “monsters”, with the Baron bluntly saying, “In fact we’re, my pricey Vanna. We are going to do something to reclaim our planet and its valuable spice… Allow us to rule Dune and Spice. Ought to. All of us want spice. It prolongs our lives and also you Bene Gesserit witches want spice to your desires. Not precisely Paddy Chayefsky.
Stilgar arrives on the Nice Corridor of Leto with a complete troop (together with Mapes, Kines, and Chaney) to extract water from the useless Fremen utilizing the Deathstill. Paul tells his mom Jessica that he acknowledges Chaney from her desires and predicts that she’s going to tie him to Freeman. Stilgar presents the water of his folks to Paul, whom he instantly acknowledges because the Mahdi (the Messiah of legend, though it’s by no means defined past that he could also be “the one who shortens the trail”). Duncan joins the Freemen as an olive department, and Mapes joins Atreides as a family servant. Whereas leaving the corridor, Chaney provides Paul a kind of again glances that Zendaya usually does in new motion pictures.
After Wana unexpectedly dies throughout torture, the Baron plans to make use of Yueh to kill Paul with a Predator Seeker whereas preserving Yueh's spouse in a “Crystalise” (a crystal case). Rely Fenring (who will lead the Emperor's Sardaukar to assault the Atreides disguised in Harkonnen uniform) arrives on the Guild ship. Annoyed with the Harkonnens and performing solely within the Emperor's curiosity, he takes the recording of Vana's torture handy over to Yueh.
On Arrakis, the Duke's remaining troops and provides (together with nukes) are delivered, with Gurney enjoying accompaniment on his balisette. Herbert was reportedly insistent that the instrument be featured within the movie, which was filmed however reduce from Lynch's movie and Villeneuve's first movie. dunehowever which finally seems half Two, Herbert then included the scene the place Duke Leto rescues the Carryall crew from the worm, nearly beat-for-beat like Lynch did, though Villeneuve made the scene extra attention-grabbing by nearly killing Paul. An amazing second acknowledges the injustice performed to the Freemans when two of them (the guides) attempt to board Leto's ornithopter:

We get a pleasant scene of Duncan's one-on-one battle with Stilgar among the many dunes towards a staff of Harkonnen. Stilgar chastises Duncan for utilizing his protect (it attracts the worm), then they seize a Harkonnen who warns them that there’s a traitor of their midst. The scene the place Mapes cuts himself to indicate loyalty to Jessica, as does Paul and Gurney's practice-battle (although with out the protect) and the Predator Seeker's assault on Paul.
As a result of Herbert can't let a lot go, we get the banquet scene that was omitted from each theatrical diversifications dune As a result of the political intrigue it depicts isn't important to the plot (Leto goes to die quickly anyway). About 25 pages of the script are destroyed on the banquet, earlier than it’s interrupted by Rely Fenring's assault on Atreides' fortress with the help of Yueh taking down his shields.
