Film adaptations of books require that certain scenes are left out in order to allow for creative freedom. Javier Bardem shared his thoughts. DeadlineThat is what for Part two of Dune, he’s hoping Denis Villeneuve will keep the moment from Frank Herbert’s novel that sees Stilgar atop a sandworm, the mightiest of Arrakis’ creatures. According to the actor:
The only thing I’m asking is that I get to ride a sandworm. Denis told me he’s going to try to make that happen. This is what the book says. Stilgar teaches Paul [Atreides]How to harness the power of the desert, that is, to domesticate the huge animals to unleash their strength, force and size against Harkonnen. That is what we hope will happen.
