looks like a director Denis Villeneuve will make Dune: Messiah Earlier than he originally expected. He said before, after Dune: Part 2he wanted to take a break from the franchise and do something else, but it doesn’t look like that’s the case.
“Let’s say I think I’m going to take a break after Part 2,” the filmmaker recently told Deadline, “and I’m going to go back into the woods and stay in the woods for a while to recover.”
“But the woods aren’t my cup of tea and I’ll be back behind the camera sooner than I think. But that’s all I can say.
The filmmakers went on to share some plot details, saying that themes of war will be central to the adaptation, adding Dune: Part 2“To save his friends, [Paul Atredies] War must be waged.
He also confirmed Timothée Chalamet, Shandaya, Florence Pughand Anya Taylor-Joy It all comes back to the sequel. Taylor-Joy’s Alia Atreides was briefly introduced in Dune 2.
Villeneuve said: “They have to come back. They were with the main cast when it happened and there were more cannibals. What can I say?”
Frank Herbert’s Dune: Messiah The story takes place 12 years after the events of the first book and tells the story of Paul Atreides, now the Emperor of the known universe. Paul’s reign was marked by political intrigue, religious fervor, and the consequences of his prescience.
As Paul navigates the complexities of his position, he faces challenges from various factions, including the powerful Bene Gesserit Sisterhood, who seek to control his bloodline.
Amid this turmoil, Paul’s relationship with his wife, Chani, and their young children add a personal dimension to his struggles.
The filmmaker has previously been compared to Paul Atreides godfather“He betrayed her in many ways,” Michael Corleone said of his relationship with Charney.
“But the most important thing for Chani is that this has nothing to do with love. In fact, he will be the figure who puts the Fremen in a mental prison.
He explains: “The leader is not there to free the Fremen, but to control them. That’s the tragedy of all tragedies. Like Michael Corleone in science fiction, he becomes the very thing he wants to avoid. .And he will try to find a way to save his soul in the third part.
Villeneuve also spoke about Charney’s feelings for Paul, saying: “The anger was huge. I don’t want to reveal what I’m going to do in the third film.”
He went on to tease: “I know exactly what to do. I’m writing it now. But there’s a lot of firepower there and I’m really excited about the decision.
The director also talked about the differences between the third film and the first two, saying: “First of all, it’s important for people to understand that, for me, this is actually a diptych.
“It’s really two movies based on the first book. That’s it. If I write the third one in the middle of the writing process, it won’t feel like a trilogy. It’s weird to say that, but if I go back to There, I’ll do something that feels different and has its own identity.
He continued, “Listen, if Dune: Messiah As it happens, I’ve been on Arrakis for many years and I’d love to do something else. I think it would be a good idea for me to make sure Messiahif anyone wants to do something else later, there are seeds in the project, because they are beautiful books.
“They’re harder to adapt to. They’re getting more esoteric. It’s a little tricky to adapt to, but I wouldn’t close the door. I wouldn’t do it myself, but other people might.
Are you looking forward to seeing what Villeneuve will do? Dune: Messiah?
