could its title be something other than Dune: Messiah?
He did adjust the story in Dune 2 to better align with Dune: Messiah but it also shows he is no respecter of the original stories, so he might still take things in a different direction, especially as Messiah is, in some ways a darker reaction to the success of Dune and it is unclear how well that would translate into a blockbuster movie. However, it may be Villeneuve has the confidence of the studios and will be given the room to make an... "anti-blockbuster".
Maybe he'll try to combine the next two together? I haven't finished Messiah yet or finished the third one, but I heard it makes a good trilogy?
Children of Dune kinda starts the second arc of the story as it moves away from Paul. Messiah alone should wrap up the story well enough. If Children gets adapted, it'll probably be told together with God-Emperor, maybe even as one movie.
God emperor the HBO Max series. 🤞
Give it to Lynch too
That would be amazing. It absolutely needs to get weird.
I'll take it
