Dune: Part Two director Denis Villeneuve says he made several of its stars go to "Fremen school" to familiarize them with the Arrakis natives' fictional language.
"I'm not joking," the filmmaker, who enlisted the help of linguist David J. Peterson, inventor of Game of Thrones' Dothraki lingo, explained in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly. "They took weeks to learn the language and came on set absolutely fluent. There was even a dialect coach on set. Everybody took it so seriously, and I was so moved to see Timothée [Chalamet] give whole speeches in Chakobsa."
