Directed by Paul King, ‘Wonka’ is confirmed to be released in South Korea on January 31st next year.

Dune series is based on Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel of the same name. It depicts the journey of Paul, who was born to ascend the throne of the universe on the desert planet Dune, amidst a struggle for the life-sustaining resource, spice.
In Part 2, the awakened Paul, who has realized his abilities, embarks on a journey of revenge against those who killed his father, during which he finds his destiny as a warrior.
