Director Denis Villeneuve wants to complete a trilogy of Dune films before he leaves Arakis behind.
“If I succeed in making a trilogy, that would be the dream,” Villeneuve said toEmpire.
“Part Three, then, would consist of Dune Messiah, Herbert’s direct follow-up to Dune.
“Dune Messiah was written in reaction to the fact that people perceived Paul Atreides as a hero.
Which is not what he wanted to do.
My adaptation [of Dune] is closer to his idea that its actually a warning.
I will say, there are words on paper.”
Dune Part Two will release on March 24.
