Empire VIP Event: Q&A With Dune: Part Two Director Denis Villeneuve

Dune: Part Two – Empire VIP event

by Ben Travis |
Published on

Denis Villeneuve is one of the most exciting directors on this (or any other) planet, his two-part adaptation of Dune standing as a colossus in modern science-fiction moviemaking. And now, with our very special Empire VIP members event, you could be in the room with him while he talks about the making of Dune: Part Two, and its predecessor.

On the afternoon of Saturday 12 October, the master filmmaker will join us for a deep dive into bringing Frank Herbert’s epic novel to life – from the escalating love story between Paul Atreides and Chani, to the all-out Fremen war, to the colour-bleached Geide Prime arena brawl. With clips from the two Dune films, there will also be a discussion of the movies by Team Empire (prepare for Dune-splaining), and an opportunity to put your questions to the Villeneuve himself. It will be an unforgettable afternoon – so sign up quickly to spice up your life.

This event is exclusively for Empire VIPs. VIP Members are eligible for all events, however live events will have limited capacity and tickets will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
