The Last of Us showrunner Craig Mazin will get a writing credit for his work on the script for Dune: Part Two. Mazin said director Denis Villeneuve was the one to call on him for his input, stating on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that: “I’m out of the movie business, basically. I’ll work with certain directors when they call because I love them and because they’re so brilliant, so if, like, Denis Villeneuve calls, then absolutely. I’m there for, three-four weeks, a month, to work on what you’re working on.”

Villeneuve co-wrote the script with Jon Spaihts and Craig Mazin will now receive a credit, following a recent change in the WGA rules. Under the prior policy, Mazin’s work on Dune: Part Two would have gone uncredited.

Dune: Part Two is due to explore the continued journey of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) as he unites with Chani (Zendaya) and the Fremen in search of revenge against those who destroyed his family. Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the universe, Paul grows determined to prevent a terrible future that only he can foresee.

Dune: Part Two also stars Dave Bautista, Rebecca Ferguson, Stellan Skarsgård, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Charlotte Rampling, Lea Seydoux, Christopher Walken, Tim Blake Nelson, Florence Pugh, Austin Butler, and more.

Dune: Part Two will release in cinemas on November 3rd. Watch the trailer here.
