Definitely,” the director said.“The screenplay is finished mostly, but it’s always a work in progress,” Villeneuve added about the sequel. “It’ll be a work in progress until final cut, but I will say it’s solidified.
I have a script in my hands. We are in prep right now.. My crew, we are in full prep for the movie.” Villeneuve was finishing the “Dune: Part 2” script while on the Oscar circuit for “Dune,” which is nominated for 10 Academy Awards.
