[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] The SF blockbuster 'Dune' Part 2 is being produced.

On the 27th, Warner Bros. Korea announced this.

The film depicts the great war over Arrakis, the desert planet producing the universe's most precious resource, 'Dune,' and the legendary messiah Paul's epic journey. Directed by Denis Villeneuve, the cast includes Timothy Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Zendaya, Jason Momoa, Javier Bardem, and Stellan Skarsg?rd.

It surpassed $220 million in worldwide box office revenue and opened last week in North America, earning over $40 million in opening revenue, marking the highest opening in Denis Villeneuve's film history.
