Dune 2 now releases on March 15, 2024.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Denis Villeneuve explains one major difference between Dune 2 and previous versions of the story: the impact of the Bene Gesserit. Frank Herbert wrote the original Dune novel, and David Lynch famously took the first stab at adapting the sprawling story, with mixed results.
When the second installment of Villeneuve’s highly-anticipated sci-fi epic finally arrives, fans of previous takes on the source material will be in for a big surprise when it comes to one element of the story. Speaking recently to Empire, Dune: Part Two’s director explained how his movie will place more emphasis than ever before on the mysterious Bene Gesserit sisterhood, and particularly a newly-introduced character named Lady Fenring, played by Léa Seydoux.
“I don’t want to talk too much about Lady Fenring. She’s part of the spider web of the Bene Gesserit, but I want to keep the mystery around her. … My version of Dune is different because the thing that really seduced me about the book was the Bene Gesserit. My adaptation is more oriented toward their impact – they are the puppet masters of the universe!”
The Bene Gesserit Will Take Center Stage In A New Dune TV Show In Dune lore, the mysterious Bene Gesserit sisterhood is responsible for an ongoing program of genetic manipulation that they believe will bring about a messianic figure known as the Kwisatz Haderach. Dune: Part One introduced two major characters who are members of the sisterhood: Paul Atreides’ mother Lady Jessica and Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam .
It’s likely not a coincidence that even as Villeneuve is placing the spotlight on the Bene Gesserit in his Dune 2, Max is planning a TV series that goes deeper into the history of the mysterious sect. Called Dune: The Sisterhood, the new series avoided being delayed due to the current strikes affecting Hollywood, and is set to be released at an undisclosed date.
