How hard sci-fi went mainstream?

Empire Magazine investigates why ultra-ambitious fantasy is now Hollywood’s hottest ticket.

The success of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two proves that complex lore, subtitled alien dialects, and telepathic foetuses can be box office gold. With half a billion dollars earned and counting, the sequel is outperforming its predecessor both critically and commercially. This is a testament to the growing popularity of hard sci-fi in mainstream media. It’s exciting to see Hollywood embrace the genre, and we can’t wait to see what’s next in store for fans of this ultra-ambitious fantasy.
