Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Two” has officially been given a PG-13 rating by the MPA. This means it has completed post-production work. The rating covers “sequences of strong violence, some suggestive material and brief strong language.” The sequel was originally slated for a November 3rd release, but the actor’s strikes pushed that date back to March 15th. An early cut of the film had it at around 3 hours 15 minutes — no word yet on what the final runtime will be.
Bassim Tariq was the first one in the chair. The "Mogul Mowgli" director spent two years building out the Mahershala Ali vehicle before exiting in 2022, and he's now letting the air out on this one.
