Yes, folks, you heard it right! The talented cast of “Dune: Part Two” has finally laid their eyes on the mind-boggling viral popcorn bucket that has taken the internet by storm. If you’ve been living under a rock, let me fill you in on the juicy details.
Last week, photos of a promotional popcorn bucket for the upcoming film went viral. And let me tell you, this popcorn bucket is not your average, run-of-the-mill bucket. Oh no, it’s modeled after the giant sandworms from “Dune.” We’re talking about a gaping, tentacled maw sitting on top of your popcorn like it’s ready to devour your movie snacks. Can you imagine the reactions?!
Well, it seems the cast of “Dune: Part Two” had a field day with this little monstrosity. In fact, it even caught the attention of the comedy aficionados over at “Saturday Night Live,” who couldn’t resist creating a hilarious sketch about it. You know you’ve made it big when you become comedy material.
When ET’s Nischelle Turner sat down with the cast to get their take on the popcorn bucket, the reactions were pure gold. Florence Pugh couldn’t help but burst into laughter and exclaimed, “It’s not OK!” We couldn’t agree more, Florence.
Meanwhile, Timothée Chalamet jokingly pondered the secret discussions that must have taken place before unleashing this abomination upon the world. Is someone out there mortally offended? Or is this exactly how they planned it? Leave it to Timothée to hit us with the existential questions.
Zendaya, on the other hand, saw the marketing genius behind it all. “From a marketing perspective, I guess it’s kind of genius,” she mused. Like, who wouldn’t want to own a popcorn bucket that resembles a sandworm’s mouth? It’s a conversation starter, to say the least. But hey, Zendaya did raise a valid concern – how the heck do you actually eat popcorn from this thing? It’s practically impossible!
Josh Brolin, however, was slightly more repulsed by the whole viral hoopla. He declared, “I’m not gonna stick my hand in there! Like, I’m good. I’ll starve.” We feel you, Josh. Sometimes the fear of losing a finger to a hungry popcorn bucket just isn’t worth the risk.
On the flip side, Dave Bautista confessed that he was the complete opposite. He believed that the creators of the popcorn bucket knew exactly what they were doing. “This is going to create quite a stir,” he said. Well Dave, you hit the nail right on the head. People can’t stop talking about it!
But let’s not forget the most important aspect of all this craziness. The “Dune: Part Two” cast couldn’t contain their excitement about returning for the sequel. With talented newcomers Florence Pugh and Austin Butler joining the cast, they were practically buzzing with anticipation. Imagine being surrounded by young A-listers who all care deeply about their craft and inspire each other. Now that’s an amazing experience!
And let’s not overlook the comparisons being made to the ’80s “Brat Pack.” While Austin and Timothée felt their group was a bit tamer when it came to partying, Florence couldn’t help but gush over the comparison. “We all know that every person in this movie, whether they’re our age or older, they are the crème de la crème,” she proudly declared. It’s truly awe-inspiring to be surrounded by so much talent.
So, mark your calendars, folks! “Dune: Part Two” hits theaters on March 1st, bringing with it not only a thrilling sequel but also the most talked-about popcorn bucket in recent memory. Brace yourselves for another round of sandworm-munching fun!
