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.
