How the planets move, who all the people are,how people get off the sandworm.
In preparing and making both Dune films,Denis Villeneuve thought of everything.
And, to illustrate that, in a new interview he really, really gets into it.

The answer?They dig through sandworm shit.
In the piece, Villeneuve answers questions about Fremen kissing as well as, well, sex.
You cannot have sex outside, for sure, Villeneuve said.
But [the Fremen] are very sexual.
I suspect that all sexual intercourse happens in environments that are protected from losing moisture.
When they are in their sietches [or caves] underground, those are sealed.
You dont need to wear stillsuits inside them.
We can deduce from that there is no problem to have sex in a sietch.
But thats not all.
When asked about Chanis comment about Paul walking drunk, Villeneuve discusses his knowledge of Fremen partying.
There is spice beer, he said.
In the book, there are Fremen parties, even some orgies involving spice.
I didnt bring that into the movies because its PG-13.
His knowledge and level of thinking go beyond sex and drugs too.
Dune: Part Two is still in theaters but also now available on digital.
