With all the cash coming in from “Dune: Half Two,” it is a protected guess Warner Bros. would need extra “Dune” motion pictures, with or with out Denis Villeneuve. To his credit score, the filmmaker has been outspoken about making “Dune 3,” however even when he strikes ahead with it, that will be it from him. He advised Time earlier than the discharge of “Dune: Half Two,” “‘Dune Messiah’ needs to be the final ‘Dune’ film for me.” It might be a very good endpoint for the director, as he described subsequent novels within the collection as turning into more and more “esoteric” in a separate interview with Empire. Even so, “Dune Messiah” is a reasonably radical departure from the primary “Dune” ebook.
“Dune Messiah” incorporates a important time leap, and it would not have the identical cinematic sensibilities as the primary ebook, regarding itself with philosophy and intrigue over straight-up motion. Villeneuve would have his work lower out for him adapting it to the display screen, nevertheless it’s apparent why he would need “Dune 3” to spherical out his time inside this universe and shut out the arc of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet). He advised Empire, “‘Dune Messiah’ was written in response to the truth that individuals perceived Paul Atreides as a hero, which isn’t what he wished to do. My adaptation [of ‘Dune’] is nearer to his concept that it is really a warning.”
Villeneuve’s “Dune 3” might see Paul turn into a horrific emperor, main a jihad that leads to the deaths of billions. Villeneuve has already set the stage for that together with his first two “Dune” motion pictures, and “Dune Messiah” could possibly be the large payoff audiences are on the lookout for.
