Dune 2 has got a glowing early reaction from Christopher Nolan. The Oppenheimer director joined Denis Villeneuve to discuss the upcoming sequel and compared it to Star Wars Episode V, The Empire Strikes Back.
"For me, I don’t think it says too much to say that if Dune: Part One was Star Wars, this to me is very much The Empire Strikes Back, which is my favorite of the Star Wars films," Nolan shares in a clip taken by the Raiders of the Lost Podcast. "I just think it’s an incredibly exciting expansion of all of the things you introduce in the first one." Villeneuve is clearly bowled over by the comparison, calling it a "massive compliment" in return.
