I’m Bummed Denis Villeneuve Isn’t Adapting Frank Herbert’s Strangest Dune Book, But My Excitement For Dune 3 Is Still At An All-Time High
May 2, 2025 - Dune: Part 3 is confirmed to be an adaptation of Frank Herbert’s controversial novel “Dune Messiah”, which takes place many years after the explosive ending of Dune, with Paul Atreides ruling over the entire universe with Princess Irulan at his side. The story explores Emperor Paul’s leadership and those who wish to bring him down, taking the reader on a complex journey of conspiracy and betrayal within the Atreides court.

Denis Villeneuve’s ‘Dune 3’ Gets Official Title 'Dune: Part Three', Will Be Shot With Imax Cameras
I was hoping they would start calling the movies by their book titles but part of me thinks WB have an aversion to using ‘Messiah’ as a subtitle for… obvious reasons. No big deal anyway. I’m guessing this, plus the casting, implies that Part Three is going to deviate from the books more than the previous instalments More on reddit.com

Robert Pattinson: 'Dune 3' Filming Was 'So Hot in the Desert'
November 4, 2025 - Nearly all of the “Dune” cast had to endure hot temperatures while filming the space epic, which is one reason Villeneuve was grateful he didn’t go the usual Hollywood route and film both “Dune” films back-to-back with no break in productions. “Both movies were made in very harsh conditions, and it’s very physically taxing, so to have a break in between them was a blessing,” Villeneuve told EW. “My first thought was to shoot both movies back to back together, but now I think I would have died. It was really intense, and seeing how the world reacted to ‘Part One’ was a boost of positive energy to go back into the desert.”

July 8, 2025 - I have a hard time envisioning "Messiah" being adapted to the silver screen alone, as the book reads more like an epilogue to Dune than a standalone story. Also, "Messiah" ... I see Part 3 as Messiah + the first half of Children of Dune.
