The main character of Dune might not really be Paul Atreides. In the first book, Lady Jessica emerges as a second protagonist, a counter to Paul’s arc. Now, as Dune: Part Two adapts the rest of that book, audiences will see a greater emphasis on Jessica and the superhuman religious sisterhood of the Bene Gesserit writ large.

Their already pivotal role is even more pronounced in Dune: Part Two, and there’s a clear reason why: Director Denis Villeneuve was determined to preserve his favorite part of Dune, even if that meant changing some details of the story.

Speaking to Inverse, Villeneuve reveals the necessary sacrifices that were made to keep the Bene Gesserit in the limelight.

Streaming has never been less exciting. It’s not because of poor TV apps, or uninteresting new films or shows. We still get a seasonal hit now and then from streaming giants like Netflix or Max. No, the real problem is that it feels like the “service” part of streaming services has been cast to the wayside.

Regardless of how much you pay per month, streaming services have degraded their core offering, adding ads in shows clearly designed not to have them, removing film and TV shows outright, removing features, and cracking down on account sharing.

Amid all of these changes, the core promise of a video streaming service as a library of things you like, with even more things you don't know you like only a search away has been broken, and only niche, specialized streaming services are keeping up their end of the bargain.
