Denis Villeneuve got deadly serious when io9 mentioned the Dune Lego set to him.
Ill be honest with you, thedirector of Dune: Part Twosaid.
Probably Im making movies because first I was a hardcore Lego player.

Im from that first generation where it was just bricks, right?
I went to a lot of places with those Lego spaceships, boats, or whatever.
And when I learned that Lego was doing an Ornithopter, I was like, Wow.That blew my mind.
Lego first announcedit was releasingthe Atreides Royal Ornithopterfrom Villenueves Dune series back in October.
There was one problem though.
I said, What are you talking about?
Its not ready for Christmas?
I was super disappointed because my kids and I [love Lego].
Then, at Christmas, I got a box and theyd sent me a prototype, Villeneuve said.
I would say I had a blast doing the Ornithopter… Its amazing.
Well, with Dune: Part Two coming on March 1, the Ornithopter is finally available.
What else stands out?
