Denis Villeneuve ends the franchise: "Dune" will not become a trilogy?
Denis Villeneuve, the famous director, has finally officially confirmed that the third Dune film will be the finale of this epic franchise. However, not everything is as simple as it seems at first glance.
"Dune" ends, but not a trilogy
"It's important for people to understand that for me it was a diptych. These are two films that adapt the first book together. The work is done, " Villeneuve explained.
The director emphasized that the third film, which is currently in the writing stage, will not be part of the trilogy, but will become an independent work with its own individuality. This movie is called "Dune: Messiah" and will take place 12 years after the events of the first book. This means that the actors have to look older, but Villeneuve assured that he knows how to solve this task.
Challenges and plans for the future
"If I make a third film, which is currently being written, it will not be part of a trilogy. It sounds paradoxical, but if I return to it, it will only be to create something different, with its own individuality, " Villeneuve hinted.
The director also emphasized his desire to finish work on "Dune", but does not rule out the possibility of transferring the project to another director. He emphasized that books are difficult to adapt and become more esoteric, but this does not close the door to other creative potentials.
Technological emphasis
It is worth noting that the film "Dune-2" was shot using Ukrainian-made lenses, which adds additional charm and technical excellence to this epic story.
What's next for the franchise?
It remains an open question whether someone else will be ready to take on the continuation of the "Dune" story after Villeneuve. The director wants to work on other projects, but at the same time sees potential in the further adaptation of the franchise by other creators. This could mean new prospects for fans who are eagerly waiting for the continuation of this massive saga.
