Director Denis Villeneuve explains why he left an imperfection in Dune: Part Two. Continuing the story of 2021’s Dune, the movie follows protagonist Paul Atreides as he teams up with Chani to seek vengeance on those who destroyed his family. The upcoming Dune: Part Two features a star-studded cast including Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Dave Bautista, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Javier Bardem.
Speaking with The New York Times, Villeneuve explains why he left one imperfection in Dune: Part Two. In the interview, the director was asked about a shot wherein Pugh dons a headdress that is not on straight, but rather is sliding down her nose. Villeneuve explained that “part of him tried to do it perfect” due to his predilection towards faultlessness, but he ultimately realized that “life is chaos” and “life is stronger.”
