sand dune : Part Two ’s sandworm Zea mays everta bucket is indeed a viral sensation , but conductor Villeneuve wants no part of the credit for designing this particular abomination , to which he give mixed reviews during a recent interview .

I do n’t want to make stupid jokes right now that will I regret tomorrow morning . But I will say this . When I saw it , I went , “ Hoooooly smokes . ” What the [ curse ] ! ?

Dune: Part Two’s Sandworm Popcorn Bucket May Be (Accidental) Genius Marketing
Frank Herbert’sDunenovel has proven magnificently hard to adapt , due to the sheer density of its storytelling , and the elaboration of its world - edifice . Even hard than making aDunemovieis merchandising aDunemovie , feed the esoteric nature of the material , and the lack of traditionally audience - please elements .
Dunedoes not possess an regalia of fun alien creature to sell like aStar Warsfilm , nor does it feature colorful superhero characters like the MCU . The sandworms are on the face of it the most marketable sci - fi / fantasy component of the movie , the part ofDunethat might serve as a natural hook to land in fooling moviegoers . Dune ’s sandwormsare not fun tool , however , and put their oral fissure on top of a popcorn bucketful effect in a bizarrely incongruous , instantly joke - worthy experience .
Sandworms were on - filmdom for a total of only 90 seconds inDune : Part One .
Perhaps it was really genius to make a popcorn bucketful with a sandworm mouth for a masking , given that the strange items have now give out viral . It was a marvellous order to commercialise a motion-picture show as inherently weird and inaccessible asDune 2 , but Warner Bros. and party seem to have pull it off , as the film is trail to gross between $ 60 - 80 million in its opening weekend . It ’s yet to be watch how many bucket of sandworm Zea mays everta will be sold at theaters .
