The director of DUNE says the entire meaning of the story becomes clear with DUNE: MESSIAH

Director Denis Villeneuveis the whole plan for the Dune The franchise consisted of making a trilogy of films. The first movie that came out was amazing and now we’re all waiting for it Duna: second part to be released. The third film in the series will be Duna: Messiahwhich is one of four screenplays he is currently working on.

During a recent interview with Cine21, the director offered an update on the film and explained that the entire story of Dune becomes clear in the third chapter of the story. He explained:

“I’m working on four different scripts: I know Dune: Messiah will be one of them, I don’t know if it will be the next one or the second one. My job was to try to keep the spirit of Frank Herbert alive as much as possible: the whole meaning of Dune becomes clear with Dune: Messiah.”

It’s been reported that WB has already greenlit the third film, so that will happen one day… unless the sequel fails completely. The director had previously spoken of his plans for a third film, saying: “There’s the second Dune book, Dune Messiah, which could make it an amazing movie. I’ve always thought there could be a trilogy; after that, we’ll see. It’s years of work; I can’t think of going any further.”

As for when he wants to make the film, he said, “I don’t know exactly when I’ll return to Arrakis. I might take a detour first just to get away from the sun. For my sanity I could do something in between, but my dream would be to go to this planet I love one last time.”

I think Villeneuve should make another movie between Dune: Part Two and Dune: Messiah. While I’m excited for him to see this trilogy, I’d also like to see what other kind of movie project is cooking in his imaginative brain.

Dune is a mythical and emotionally charged hero’s journey and tells the story of Paul Atreides, “a brilliant and gifted young man born with a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to secure the future of his family and its people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence – a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential – only those who can conquer their fear will survive. ”.

The next chapter of the story will explore the “mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he joins Chani and the Fremen while on a warpath of vengeance against the conspirators who destroyed his family. Faced with the choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, he attempts to prevent a terrible future that only he can predict.”

Frank Herbert’s Duna: Messiah is set several years after the events of the first book and follows Paul Atreides, now Emperor of the Known Universe. Paul’s rule is marked by political intrigue, religious fervor, and the consequences of his prescient visions. As he navigates the complexities of his position, Paul faces challenges from various factions, including the powerful Bene Gesserit Sisterhood, which seeks to control his bloodline. Amidst all this turmoil, Paul’s relationship with his wife Chani and his young children adds a personal dimension to his difficulties.
