DUNE: PART TWO Is Getting an Extended IMAX Run This Month
Warner Bros. has announced that Legendary’s Dune: Part Two will get an extended 70mm IMAX release later this month starting on April 19th. It will be screening at Los Angeles’s Universal Cinema AMC at CityWalk and New York City’s AMC Lincoln Square 13.
I didn’t get a chance to watch Dune: Part Two in IMAX the first go-around, so I’m personally happy that I will have the opportunity now!
Warner Bros. head of Domestic Distribution, Jeff Goldstein, said: “The incredible response to this film has proven that Denis Villeneuve has crafted an unmissable cinematic experience for audiences, whether they are fans of the first film or discovering this world for the first time through Dune: Part Two.”
He continued: “The fans have spoken and we, along with our partners at Legendary and IMAX, have listened, and we’re thrilled to return this beloved film to the biggest of the big screens across the country to once again share Dune: Part Two with moviegoers in this premium format.”
The Denis Villeneuve-directed movie follows Paul Atreides, “A brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people.
“As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence—a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential—only those who can conquer their fear will survive.”
Part Two explores the “mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a warpath 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.”
