Director Denis Villeneuve is planning the second part but does not rule out that he could make DUNE 3.
The first film was a great success raising more than 400 million dollars, it was very liked by the critics and it can also receive a few Oscar Awards. That is why they are already preparing the sequel that will arrive in 2023. But… Will they make DUNE 3? Director Denis Villeneuve It is clear what one of its objectives is.
In a recent interview, Denis Villeneuve said that:
Now I could imagine a third movie and do the Dune Messiah adaptation that will complete the Paul Atreides story which I think would make sense. But every movie, those movies are monsters, and I can only do one at a time. If I survive Dune Part Two, then it could be DUNE 3. When I start thinking about it, I get tired. It’s too much. I need to focus on one project at a time, to be honest. But Part Three will be… I’m making sure Part Three is doable.”
Do you want to make the trilogy of this saga? It would be really something very interesting to be able to see the complete life of Paul Atreides.
What is that story about?
DUNE 3 would be based on the novel Frank Herbert titled Messiah of Dune which was published in 1969. The plot centers about 12 years after the great battle, where Paul Atreides proclaimed himself emperor by defeating Shaddam IV of House Corrino. Now there is a new Fremen Star Empirebut there are many who believe that their ancestral customs are being distorted, and everything gets complicated when there is a plot to kill Paul Atreides.
So let’s hope the sequel is a bigger hit than the first installment and they decide to do DUNE 3. At least we know that the director Denis Villeneuve he is more than willing. But the most important thing is that it has the original cast and that Timothee Chalamet come back as Paul Atreides and Zendaya like chani.
