The report says that Florence Pugh has asked for the final script and will then decide whether to get on board. But there are some hurdles too. The actor as per reports is also discussing Madonna biopic. And the fact that Dune 2’s production is in Hungary might also turn out to be a roadblock considering the current war between Ukraine and Russia.
Meanwhile, talking about Dune 2 most recently as per the same portal, Villeneuve said, “I’m writing [Part Two] now, and I feel like I’m eight years old again. That’s very uncommon for me. It’s the first time I’ve experienced it where I’m watching one of my movies, and I have a moment of deep gratitude, of deep joy, and I say, ‘Thank you, life, for having allowed me to bring that to the screen.’ [laughs] I don’t know how other people will feel about it. But me? Denis Villeneuve when he was 14 years old? Thank you.”
