Although Dune: Part Two ended on a different note than the last pages of the original 1965 Frank Herbert novel, director Denis Villeneuve says that the tone and meaning of his ending are fairly similar to Herbert’s intent. Further, he suggests that any radical theories fans might have that his adaptation will deviate from the second book, Dune Messiah, are unfounded. In fact, Villeneuve has suggested we should expect Dune 3 to be just as faithful to Herbert’s text, and in line with his approach to the first two Dune movies.
During the 52nd Saturn Awards, Villeneuve took home two trophies: one for Best Science Fiction Film and another for Best Film Direction. While it feels unlikely that the other Academy Awards will give Dune: Part Two Best Picture, with the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films, Villeneuve is clearly royalty. And, during the festivities, Villeneuve found time to chat with journalists, which led to some real talk about Dune 3.
