Like Anakin Skywalker, Dune: Part Two director Denis Villeneuve is really tired of sand.Speaking to Empire, Villeneuve dove into how much time and effort he, Part Two production designer Patrice Vermette, and cinematographer Greig Fraser spent trying to find acceptable sand iconography for the movie’s camera shots. “For my mise-en-scène, I’ll want a particular shaped dune. But Greig Fraser, on the other hand, will need that same shape to be in a specific light,” he revealed, admitting, “So Patrice spent weeks and weeks casting sand dunes in the desert! We looked like madmen.”Though Dune: Part Two’s trailers highlighted plenty of the desert planet Arrakis’ environments and sandworms, Villeneuve semi-joked that the pre-production work had taken its toll on him. “I still find it every morning in my shoes,” he said, describing himself, Fraser, and Vermette as “sand-traumatised, for sure.” However, in previous interviews, Villeneuve also stressed that protagonist Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) will need to master the desert in order to win over Arrakis’ Fremen nomads and defeat House Harkonnen. Describing Part Two as a “war movie,” the director teased Paul’s relationship with Fremen Chani (Zendaya) as being crucial to this victory, stating, “At the very core is a love story between Paul and Chani. How Paul will gain her trust, how she will open her heart to him, and how they will find a way to free Chani’s world from the Harkonnen grip. It’s a much more emotional movie.”RELATED: Dune Director Reveals Scene That Became a ‘Weird Priority’ in Part Two
