Director Denis Villeneuve and the Sound of Dune: Part Two

November 21, 2024

Director Denis Villeneuve returns to Dolby Creator Talks to discuss the incredible sound work in “Dune: Part Two,” his latest adaptation of the epic sci-fi saga. He and his multiple Academy Award®-winning sound team share their thoughts on how sound plays such a pivotal role in his films, offering insights into his process of integrating sound design even during the early stages of development. From Paul’s iconic worm-riding sequence to the hauntingly quiet deserts of Arrakis, this episode explores the bold artistic choices that make the film such an immersive sonic experience.

I think that sound is, by far, the most powerful tool in the cinematic language.

Denis Villeneuve, Director, Co-Writer, and Producer, “Dune: Part Two”
