Once more with feeling as Dune and Dune Part Two director Denis Villeneuve talks the third and his final Dune Movie, Messiah.
Villeneuve has confirmed that the third movie is currently being written and that he will be leaving Arrakis once he’s done the third movie… although he’s not calling it a trilogy.
“Listen, if Dune: Messiah happens, it will have been many years for me on Arrakis, and I would love to do something else,” said Villeneuve.
“I think that it would be a good idea for me to make sure that, in Messiah, there are the seeds in the project if someone wants to do something else afterwards, because they are beautiful books. They are more difficult to adapt. They become more and more esoteric.”
None of this is new news, however, as Villeneuve already confirmed his role in the third movie and how it would be his last outing and would leave the door open for other directors to step in, down the line, back in February after Dune Part II’s release, saying: “Those books are much more wild and maybe more difficult to adapt, but I’ll be there to help.”
So, once more to Arrakis with Villeneuve? Count us in…

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
