Denis Villeneuve, the director of Dune and Dune: Half Two, not too long ago shared some thrilling information concerning the subsequent movie, Dune: Messiah. He talked about his plans and the way this new movie suits in with the opposite two.
Villeneuve’s newest movie, Dune: Half Two, has been an enormous success and at present sits because the fourth hottest movie of 2024, behind Inside Out 2, Deadpool & Wolverine, and Despicable Me 4. The movie grossed $711 million worldwide, up from the $407 million the primary Dune movie grossed in 2021.
When requested concerning the movie adaptation of Dune: Messiah, Villeneuve defined:
“To start with, it’s so essential that folks perceive that for me it was actually a diptych. It was actually two movies that would be the movie adaptation of the primary e book. That’s accomplished and that’s completed. If I do a 3rd, which is within the strategy of being written, it’s not like a trilogy. It’s unusual to say that, but when I’m going again there, it’s to make one thing that feels completely different and has its personal identification.”
At first, this may occasionally appear complicated. Dune will not be like Recreation of Thrones, the place creators needed to look past the books. Frank Herbert wrote six Dune books earlier than he died in 1986. The primary two Dune movies are solely an adaptation of the primary e book, not two books.
. Dune: Messiah is the second e book in Herbert’s sequence, adopted by Youngsters of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse: Dune. So, whereas Villeneuve’s remaining Dune movie would be the third, it isn’t a trilogy. He is simply ending the story he needs to inform, he isn’t telling the entire story. There’s nonetheless room for others to proceed the story.

The Dune franchise is getting a derivative known as Dune: Prophecy coming to Max. This new present is about 10,000 years earlier than Villeneuve’s movies and chronicles the origins of the Bene Gesserit. Villeneuve is aware of that if there are to be extra Dune tales after he leaves Arrakis, he’ll should set issues up for another person:
“Hear, when Dune: Messiah comes out, I’ve been on Arrakis for years and I’d like to do one thing else. I feel it will be a good suggestion to ensure that in Messiah, there are seeds within the tasks if another person needs to do one thing else after that, as a result of they’re lovely books.
They’re tougher to regulate. They’re turning into extra esoteric. It’s a little tougher to regulate, however I’m not closing the door. I’m not going to do it myself, however it may occur to another person.”
Villeneuve has confirmed that he is not going to be directing any extra Dune tasks after Messiah. He needs to assist arrange future tales that another person can proceed. It’s considerate of him to be planning for extra tales, even now that he’s leaving. If somebody takes over, they’ll have massive footwear to fill that match Villeneuve’s work.
