A third Dune movie, Dune: Messiah, is officially in the works, according to Entertainment Weekly and Deadline. The latter site reported that director Denis Villeneuve and Legendary are developing the movie “as the conclusion of the trilogy.”
Making three Dune films has been Villeneuve’s plan all along. “I always envisioned three movies,” Villeneuve told EW. “It’s not that I want to do a franchise, but this is Dune, and Dune is a huge story. In order to honor it, I think you would need at least three movies. That would be the dream. To follow Paul Atreides and his full arc would be nice.”
The last we heard before this was that Villenueve would make Dune: Messiah if the script was good enough. Important to note here is that just because a movie is in “development,” that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be made soon or ever.
