Sci-Fi Dune

Well, to anyone who has read Messiah this is pretty much a "duh" moment.

 

[Sawyer]

Still not over it.

There's some context missing from the tweet. It's sold out because that showing is a live Q&A screening. I'm assuming with Denis?

Yeah, also Dune 2 made 715 million worldwide. That's a lot, but it's definitely not "the undisputed movie of the year" if you want to make it about ticket sales.

It's a success for sure but I raised an eyebrow when I saw a screening was sold out 7 months after release until I saw that it was a Q&A, which makes way more sense. They buried the lede.

Now time to admit you're making Children as well! Finish the story!

I just hope it's not a decision solely based on WB pressuring him to strike while the iron is hot due to the success of Part Two.

Sounds more like he took some time off, got bored, wanted to shoot something again, and this is the only project of his currently that he could get an immediate greenlight right away.

I don't know about that. He was saying he wanted a break from Dune for years, even before Part Two, and to wait some time for the actors to age in numerous interviews. He also prioritises projects that he signed on to do first and Rama and Cleopatra were both in development before Messiah. Maybe your take is right and this is what I hope for too. But it sounds more to me that the studio pressured him to finish the script before anything else. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to reflect on the quality of the film, but I'd feel more comfortable knowing it was his plan all along or a choice he himself made after a while.

Maybe both parties just want to make the film. Crazy, I know.

Third "Dune" Now Filming In Early 2026 - Dark Horizons

Denis Villeneuve’s film adaptation of “Dune Messiah” appears to have set a filming window. In today’s THR piece about Tom Holland boarding filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s next film, it’s indicated that filming on “Spider-Man 4” was delayed long enough that his co-star Zendaya “will now be shooting...

And I just found out Brian Herbert and KJA did ANOTHER prequel trilogy. I just wanted my damn Irulan book.

There really should be certain exceptions to that film score rule they have for sequels. At least he won for Part One.

That's a damn travesty!

Deadline says 2026, THR says next year.

Which is it?

Maybe there's a way to start without Zendaya and film her scenes after she's done with Spider-Man 4 or figure a way for her to travel and do both.

One thing's for sure, they won't keep the December 2026 released date if they don't start filming by next summer.

Bookwise, Chani isn’t featured much. But I feel Villeneuve is changing a lot of that based on Part 2’s ending.
