‘Dune 2’ a Go From Legendary, Warner Bros.

Denis Villeneuve and Timothée Chalamet are reteaming for the sequel, which will hit theaters in fall of 2023.

www.hollywoodreporter.com

“I just received news from Legendary that we are officially moving forward with Dune: Part Two,” Villeneuve said in a statement. “It was a dream of mine to adapt Frank Herbert’s Dune and I have the fans, the cast, and crew, Legendary and Warner Bros. to thank for supporting this dream. This is only the beginning.”

Good.

 

[Fbh]

Would have been a real shame to not get this.

 

[ManaByte]

October 2023 isn't a bad wait. They'll film next summer like Denis said previously, then a year of post.

What whole thing? Part Two completes the first book.

Herbert wrote six Dune books. The story doesn't end here.

Yea but it kind of gets worse as the books go along. I doubt we're going to ever see Sandworm Leto II on the big screen.

I hope we do. I think that would be badass to see. Or really weird.

I think they should do Paul's story as movies and leave Leto II for HBO Max.

I want big-budget movies personally. Maybe you can help me out here. Was the entire Harry Potter series greenlit from the beginning or did they wait for box office on the first one? I know all of lotor was made together. If this is "the lord of the rings" of scifi you would think they'd jump on this and get the machine going.

Nothing has been done like LOTR since. The only reasons the Matrix sequels were done that way was because the Wachowski's were worried they'd be ripped off if they waited years between 2 and 3.

 

[elcapitano]

Hopefully they have pretty much Greenlit the trilogy.

David wants to cover Messiah as well.

 

[elcapitano]

The director wants to do a trilogy cover atleast Dune and Dune Messiah so at minimum I hope he gets to tell that entire story

Nah, you meant to say it gets better. Although having read all the books multiple times I do not think Heretics and Chapterhouse can be filmed to give them justice.

 

[AJUMP23]

What about part 3, when they finally ride a MAKER.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

 

[Kilau]

I am ready for the Quiznos hat rack.

 

[AJUMP23]

For part 2, Sting should sing the Theme for Dune.

 

[Diddy X]

Was the first part too good or something, is it still in theaters?

 

[JimmyRustler]

I honestly didn‘t think this sequel was ever in question but I‘m still glad we got the confirmation. Nice publicity stunt though.

 

[isual]

while i follow others' sentiments that part 2 was most likely to occur, i'm in the notion on why part 2 wasn't made at the same time as part 1? was it money?

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Just came out the cinema watching it.

OMFG IT WAS SO EPIC. IT LIKE WAS STAR WARS MEETS GAME OF THRONES.

(But seriously like 5 people walked out. Normies don't like it.)

You obviously missed all the concern trolling claiming the box office wasn't good enough for a sequel.

am I in the minority who feel the first Dune book may be the strongest writing but has the weakest overall plot? Maybe its because so much is based on it in Sci Fi fiction now, and used it as a template, but the sweeping concept of the future war and craziness Paul has to go through to make sure mankind survives is way more interesting to me (But i like the study of a hero who has to basically destroy the world to save it). Like all this Dune part 2 talk is pretty pointless to me if they just end the cliffhanger of

Spoiler

"we won... but now the universe is about to become 65 billion people lighter thanks to the war I'm about to cause...."

without taking us to the next books

I didn’t miss anything. I just think that if a sequel was ever in question the movie would not have started as Dune part 1.

The movie was shot, finished, and scheduled to be released before the pandemic hit.

 

[Fbh]

I'm really curious how they'll handle Alia in the sequel. The character will be difficult to pull off by a child actress

 

[SJRB]

HELL YES

Amazing news.

[Gp1]

I want to know how they will deal with the emperor and the guild navigators. I find hard to believe that they didn't film at least some scenes of part 2 back to back with the first movie.

And i rewatched the 1984 film in one of those fan cuts on YT some days ago. Villeneuve really got inspired in some scenes.

 

[Setzer]

Awesome news! Really enjoyed Part 1.

THE SLEEPER HAS AWOKEN!!!

Sleeper? Dude they were marketing this out the ass and there's no good movies out in October. We all saw this sequel coming from miles away.

Yeah but the other books are kind of dumb. Anyway

PART TWO WOOOO AWW YEEE GIV IT TO ME DENNEEEE

 

[Ballthyrm]

Both of which came out after Dune.

It's a classic SCI-FI book for a reason. It inspired countless rip-off and other derivative works.

[WoodyStare]

So fucking thrilled with this news.

Me right now, let's fucking goooo!

Part 1 was excellent, can’t wait

I was trolling.
