Dune: Half Two director Denis Villeneuve has develop into one of many largest names in Hollywood over the previous decade, and this second Dune movie is new floor for him–it’s his first-ever sequel that he is directed. The query now, as Dune: Half Two hits theaters to near-universal acclaim from critics, together with me, is what number of extra does he need to make?
It isn’t a query with a simple reply right this moment. These first two Dune movies work as a companion as a result of they each adapt the unique Dune novel and basically operate as one very lengthy movie. The third film would transfer on to the subsequent e book, Dune Messiah, and Villeneuve is not essentially going to even direct that one, although he is already engaged on the screenplay.
“I actually tried to make Half One and Half Two, like, in my thoughts, it may very well be a completed story. I may stroll away from Dune and really feel that I went there, I went to Arrakis, I stated what I needed to say about Arrakis,” Villaneuve informed me once I requested him about his long-term plans. “However I really feel that, and I felt that as I used to be doing Half One, that it may very well be an ideal concept to do a 3rd film with Dune Messiah, the place I’ll end Paul Atreides’ arc, utterly end it. And so there will likely be a chance for me to return a final time. I believe that it is within the works proper now. And if we handle to do a robust screenplay, I’d return.”
