Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has announced that it will release on 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two (2024), starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, and Austin Butler. The two releases will be available for purchase on May 14.

Description: Dune: Part Two explores the mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a path of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family. Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, he endeavors to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.

Dune: Part Two is directed by three-time Academy Award nominee Denis Villeneuve ("Arrival," "Blade Runner 2049") from a screenplay he and Jon Spaihts wrote, based on the seminal bestselling novel of the same name written by Frank Herbert.

The expanded all-star international ensemble cast features returning and new stars, including Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet ("Wonka," "Call Me by Your Name"), Zendaya ("Spider-Man: No Way Home," "Malcolm & Marie," "Euphoria"), Rebecca Ferguson ("Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning"), Oscar nominee Josh Brolin ("Avengers: End Game," "Milk"), Oscar nominee Austin Butler ("Elvis," "Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood"), Oscar nominee Florence Pugh ("Black Widow," "Little Women"), Dave Bautista (the "Guardians of the Galaxy" films, "Thor: Love and Thunder"), Oscar winner Christopher Walken ("The Deer Hunter," "Hairspray"), Léa Seydoux (the "James Bond" franchise and "Crimes of the Future"), Souheila Yacoub ("The Braves," "Climax"), with Stellan Skarsgård (the "Mamma Mia!" films, "Avengers: Age of Ultron"), with Oscar nominee Charlotte Rampling ("45 Years," "Assassin's Creed"), and Oscar winner Javier Bardem ("No Country for Old Men," "Being the Ricardos").

The film is produced by Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Villeneuve, Tanya Lapointe and Patrick McCormick. The executive producers are Joshua Grode, Jon Spaihts, Thomas Tull, Herbert W. Gains, Brian Herbert, Byron Merritt, Kim Herbert, Richard P. Rubinstein and John Harrison, with Kevin J. Anderson serving as creative consultant.

I'm so glad they don't wait a year after a movie opens to release the home version anymore. Looking forward to seeing this.

I have a feeling this may have been influenced by the fact that there is already a pirate release of Dune Two with this quality.

Or it's the other way around, because there was going to be this release, someone managed to steal a copy, which is where the pirate release came from. Dk.

I call anything over 2 hours a "sore bottom movie".
Which for me means, unless I pay a fortune at showcase, I need to wait until it comes out on physical media, with a pause button.
I'm very glad the cycle has been tightened!

I ended up stumbling across it and watched.
It's crazy how much better than the first movie it is. Granted there's more going on in general just because it's the second half of the book, but damn it's good.

I'm surprised they put the popcorn bucket on the cover.

How long before movie posters are just the entire cast

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Not surprisingly, they put the popcorn bucket on the cover.

Hope it's available to stream then as well.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Streaming hits April 16th if I recall correctly...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (2 children)

That's PVOD (premium video-on-demand) which is different from streaming. With PVOD, you pay a one-time price of $29.99 to watch it on iTunes, Amazon Prime, etc.

Though in my opinion, if you're gonna pay $29.99 for a digital file, you might as well wait for the physical.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Oh agreed 100%. Only way I would pay 30 is to have a copy of the file in perpetuity. At that, streaming also isn't going to be the same stream off the Blu-ray, so lower quality at that (perceptible or not)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

That is waaaaaaaay too much for me to remotely consider.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I pre-ordered the 4K steelbook as soon as it was available.

It's a shame that the IMAX shots won't be in it though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Has it been confirmed it doesn’t have the imax scenes?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yep, confirmed by Warner Home Video: https://www.reddit.com/r/4kbluray/comments/1bjhmy8/confirmed_dune_2_4k_blu_ray_will_not_include_imax/

Some are theorizing that the Part One + Part Two release or eventual trilogy release might have an IMAX release.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I would absolutely expect an imax release eventually, it's a fantastic way for the distributor to double dip!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

We will only get it if enough people bother Denis Villeneuve about it. He wanted the physical media releases to have the IMAX shots and was surprised when he was told recently that they don't.
