I know we still have a year left but was just curious. I know we got a trailer for part 2 in summer 2023 but I think original release date was Oct/Nov 2023, so maybe June 2026?
What do you think the third film by Denis Villeneuve should be called? Right now I’m seeing people making arguments for both titles. Dune Messiah is obviously a great choice because that’s the name of the book it will be based on, and it does sound cool. But it might look disjointed to fans of the films who don’t necessarily know about the books:
Dune Part One, Dune Part Two, Dune Messiah.
On the other hand, Dune Part Three also makes sense because it would make the trilogy have nice clean titles:
Dune Part One, Dune Part Two, Dune Part Three.
What do you think the producers and Villeneuve are going to end up naming the third film?
I haven’t read the books at all so just interested in what the main events/plot points/popular things among the books may happen in Dune 3?
I’ve seen the original film so know roughly what would happen in Dune 2, but obviously they basically end the same
I don’t care about potential spoilers but please spoiler check everything necessary for others!
I am spending the day watching the Lynch film (which I have always liked) and the Sci Fi miniseries before Dune (2021) premiers on HBO at 6:00 PM EST tonight. Since the worldwide box office is doing relatively well the chances of a part 2 are getting better. I am hoping that Denis Villeneuve is already planning a third film based on Dune Messiah. What scenes and themes would you like to see on screen from that book?
Villeneuve has actually said that if the first two movies are successful he would like to make it a trilogy by adapting Messiah.
The hardest part would be conveying the weight of the jihad. Just writing "12 years later, 61 billion people died" at the start of the film really isn't enough
A bit of a spoiler for those who have not read the books but in the next book Paul has already won the holy war ( in some sense) and is now dealing with assassination coups and his own guilt. This alone could make for a great movie, but I think maybe Dennis could go for something a bit more ambitious.
How about the movie splinters between few scenes of Paul during the holy war and then (the largest portion of the film) Paul after. The scenes of Paul during the holy war would have to be pretty much all new scenes which were not in the book And they would showcase the development of his empire, his growth, and his continuous sense of regret, as well a showcasing different planets and offering exciting and cinematic action sequences. The scenes of Paul after the holy war will have an internally defeated Paul atreides reflecting on what he has done.
This juxtaposition could serve to showcase the dynamic of how as his empire grew, his soul fell.
Am I unto anything or is this just straight gibberish?
