I think about some viewers may really feel a bit bit pissed off to be taught that this new Dune, which was initially bought because the conclusion of the story, may really be its center chapter.

(I sort of hope we get to see the dude who turns into half-human, half-sandworm.)
Dune: Half Two is scheduled to open in theaters on March 1.
