Dune 2’s Major Difference From Other Versions Involves The Impact Of Bene Gesserit

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. Later, Herbert’s book was made into a TV miniseries, and then in 2021, Villeneuve released the first half of his own two-part Dune adaptation, the second half of which is set for release in 2024 after being pushed back from 2023.
