As a devoted fan of the intricate and captivating world of Frank Herbert’s Dune, I eagerly anticipate the release of Dune Messiah, the third installment in Denis Villeneuve‘s visually stunning adaptation of this epic saga. While some might argue that three films make a trilogy, Villeneuve’s unique perspective as an artist and storyteller sets him apart from others.
As a fervent admirer, I eagerly anticipate that the next chapter in the Dune saga could potentially be “Dune Messiah,” the third film from director Denis Villeneuve, although he himself doesn’t view it as a trilogy. Critics once believed Frank Herbert’s seminal novel Dune was unfilmable, a notion supported by David Lynch’s 1984 adaptation falling short of expectations. However, Villeneuve, inspired by the recent It films, split the first book into two parts: Dune premiered in theaters on October 22, 2021, and Dune: Part Two is set to release on March 1, 2024. Both films were well-received by both audiences and critics. Now, all eyes are on Dune Messiah, the upcoming installment in the Dune franchise, adapting the second book in the series.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Villeneuve has clarified that although his upcoming film is the third Dune movie, he doesn’t view it as a trilogy in the traditional sense. Instead, he considers the two previous Dune movies as part of one continuous story, similar to a diptych in art, which consists of two interconnected pieces or panels. From his perspective, the Dune adaptations are actually two separate stories, with each being divided into two films. While marketing may present Dune as a trilogy, for Villeneuve, it’s more like telling two unique tales.
For me, the first two movies were essentially a set or two-part story, an adaptation of the initial book. That project is now complete. If I were to create a third movie, it wouldn’t be part of a traditional trilogy. It would be a unique standalone piece, offering something different from what has come before.
Dune and Dune Again
Although some might find it surprising that Villeneuve doesn’t consider Dune a trilogy, there is justification for this stance. Similarly, Quentin Tarantino, despite releasing Kill Bill in two parts, considers it as one film according to his own 10-film rule. This allows him to make an additional film before retiring. Villeneuve’s decision to divide Dune into two parts may have been crucial for the franchise’s ongoing success. It provided him with the time needed to fully establish the intricate world depicted in Frank Herbert’s original novel. This choice also responds to a critique of Villeneuve’s Dune films, particularly the first one. Although acclaimed, it was criticized for having extensive setup, and the ending only seems like half a movie. The marketing campaign for Dune emphasized grand, epic sequences drawn from scenes that don’t occur until Dune: Part Two.
As a movie enthusiast, I’m excitedly awaiting Denis Villeneuve’s work on the script for ‘Dune Messiah’. There’s no definite release date yet, but rumors are swirling that Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have set aside 2026 for this anticipated sequel. Considering the three-year gap between ‘Dune’ and ‘Dune: Part Two’, I’m optimistic that we might see ‘Dune Messiah’ around the same timeframe. It will be intriguing to discover whether Warner Bros. Discovery opts to release the film under its original title or rebrand it as ‘Dune: Part Three’.
