Pirated copies of movies leak all year round, often ripped from streaming platforms after their official premiere. That by itself is nothing special.<\/p>\nPirated copies of movies leak all year round, often ripped from streaming platforms after their official premiere. That by itself is nothing special.<\/p>\n
However, when a high-quality copy of a blockbuster title appears online before it\u2019s officially available, people take notice. That\u2019s exactly what happened with Dune: Part Two<\/a> over the past few hours.<\/p>\n The second installment of the adaptation of Frank Herbert\u2019s 1965 sci-fi book premiered in cinema a little over a month ago. With over $600 million in global box office revenues, it\u2019s the most successful film of the year. The digital release, planned for later this month, is highly anticipated too. <\/p>\n Dune\u2019s popularity was also noticed in pirate circles; \u2018Dune: Part One\u2019 made a surprising comeback<\/a> in the weekly list of most pirated films. Apparently, some people chose to watch Part One through unofficial channels before buying a cinema ticket for Part Two. <\/p>\n Needless to say, the high-quality leak of Dune: Part Two is also drawing lots of visitors to pirate sites. Its \u2018WEB-DL\u2019 tag suggests a lossless rip from an online streaming source. It\u2019s unclear where it originated, as the film is not available through any digital platforms yet; at least as far as we know. <\/p>\n The leak is real, however, evidenced by the screenshot below and the many commenters who were surprised by this early release. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n The early leak comes with another noteworthy angle, the inclusion of \u201cInMemoryOfEVO\u201d in its filename. This refers to the release group EVO which was busted in 2021 by the Portuguese police<\/a>, partly acting on intelligence<\/a> gathered by the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment. <\/p>\n That this \u2018tribute\u2019 to EVO comes as part of the Dune leak likely isn\u2019t a coincidence either. EVO was the group that leaked a copy of Dune: Part One before its official release. Not long after, the group disappeared off the radar<\/a>. <\/p>\n The EVO bust was a pivotal moment for piracy release groups. It marked the end<\/a> of more than two decades of steady \u201cscreener\u201d leaks, in which EVO played a central role in more recent years. The recent Dune leak is no screener, of course, but it\u2019s certainly a high-profile release that will be watched closely by pirates, and Hollywood.<\/p>\n With ongoing talks about a third Dune installment<\/a>, this may not be the final part of this saga either.<\/p>\n From: TF<\/a>, for the latest news on copyright battles, piracy and more.<\/p>\nDune Leak: Part Two<\/h2>\n
