“Dune,” there was no guarantee a Part 2, which had largely been kept a secret — even from the actress — would even go forward. So, the news that Legendary and Warner Bros. had greenlighted the story’s conclusion after the film’s successful release in October was met with an enthusiastic reaction from the cast and crew.
Surprisingly, Ferguson says she and Villeneuve never talked about the continuation of the “Dune” story, “ever.” She first sat down with the Oscar-nominated filmmaker for an hour-and-a-half discussion about the role in 2018. Lady Jessica is the mother of Paul Atreides — a prophesied savior to the desert planet Arrakis — and a member of the Bene Gesserit, a female sect whose innate powers provide them with great influence in this future space empire.
Despite Paul Atreides being at the center of the film, the last face audiences see at the film’s end is Ferguson’s. At that point in the story, both Paul and Lady Jessica have been accepted by the Fremen, the indigenous inhabitants of the desert planet Arrakis. In theory, a new future awaits them. “But we were looking out at the grandiosity of the landscape, and it was so beautiful. The sun was setting, and the imaginative sandworms and the riders, it was just so exquisite that I thought we need to completely go against this. Jessica is so much more than all of this beauty. Her mindset will be a hundred steps ahead. And I gave him a take of that. And it wasn’t until I saw the final cut that I saw he actually used it as the last shot.
the universe is far too big for power shifts. Loss is the nature of galactic political failures.
