I have read the script and I am really impressed, more than I was with the first part. I am much more excited. I met with Denis Villeneuve, production designer Patrice Vermette, and Paul Lambert the other day at Denis’ house. We talked about Dune 2, I turned to Denis and said I couldn’t believe these people paid for us to do this. It’s ridiculous! We get paid to make these movies, which are so exciting and amazing. I can assure you that the second part is much bigger and better«.
