Josh Brolin confirms his return to Dune 2 with a fun story on IMDb
Josh Brolin confirms his return to Dune 2 by saying he called his publicist and requested that he be added to the IMDb page for the upcoming movie.
Josh Brolin confirms he will return for Dunes 2 with a funny story on IMDb. Brolin is known for his performances in Milk, inherent vice, There is no country for old people, and like Thanos in the MCU. He had previously worked with Dunes director Denis Villeneuve with his starring role in the 2015 action thriller, Sicario.
Dunes, based on the novel by Frank Herbert, follows Paul Atreides (Timothee Chalamet) and his family after they are embroiled in a war for the deadly and coveted planet Arrakis. Brolin plays Gurney Halleck, the master-at-arms of House Atreides and a mentor to Paul, who was last seen in the first Dunes facing off against a legion of invading Harkonnen soldiers, leaving his fate unknown. Dunes 2 is highly anticipated after the first film grossed over $400 million at the box office and won six Oscars.
In an interview with ColliderBrolin confirms his character will return for Dunes 2. He says someone told him he wasn’t on the IMDb page, which led him to call his publicist and request that his name be added to the page. Brolin added that he was very proud of his involvement in Dunes. He also mentions that Dunes 2 will be more action-oriented and that he is already training for retaliation. Read his quote below:
I’m part of Dune Part Two, to the ridiculous extent that someone mentioned to me that it wasn’t on IMDb, I actually went out of my way to call Liz (her publicist) and say, “Can you you please put this on IMDb?” ‘Cause it’s a proud moment for me, man.
In addition to talking about Dunes 2Brolin also opened up about his shared confusion over why Villeneuve didn’t receive a Best Director Oscar nomination for his work on Dunes. Brolin agreed that it was a snub and that he didn’t understand how it was possible, given Villeneuve’s large-scale vision for the adaptation. He goes on to say it was one of the many weird things to come out of the Oscars post-pandemic, but noted that Villeneuve himself wasn’t bothered by the lack of notice.
As beautiful and compelling as the first movie was, it was still only half a story, and it’s hard to gauge how much of a story is based on the first half alone. Although Villeneuve has repeatedly proven his talent as a director, Dunes 2 is already proving to be the biggest challenge of his career, and he certainly has his work cut out for him. But, with his unquestionable talent and the backing of a stellar cast that includes Brolin, Dunes 2 might turn out to be one of the most engaging and satisfying sci-fi movies to come out in a long time.
