At the start of Frank Herbert’s first Dune novel, Princess Irulan tells us: “A beginning is a very delicate time.” But what about a middle? As with all things Dune, uncertainty is in the wind when it comes to predicting the future, but it looks like director Denis Villeneuve has accidentally confirmed when a film version of Dune Messiah could start filming. And within that detail, we might have a window for a release date.
According to Baz Bamigboye, writing for Deadline, Villeneuve has exclusively revealed that he will “go back behind the camera faster than I think.” Since the release of Dune: Part Two in March, Villeneuve has frequently mentioned his plan to take a break between trips to Arrakis. Even recently, he wasn’t fully committed to the idea that he would film Dune Messiah as his next project. But now that seems to have changed.
