Yeah, it’s set to release at the end of next year. I’m pretty excited to see the arc wrap up, but I hope they stop there and don’t try to do the rest of the series.
Dune Messiah is relatively simple to do compared to subsequent novels. It’s almost an extension of the original Dune.
But even with Dune 1/2, I talked to many people who haven’t read the novels and they found Dune 2 confusing. Dune 1 was like the first ~20% of the book. The last 80% of the story needed more; how I wish Villeneuve had the opportunity to make a full trilogy.
I am worried that beyond Dune: Messiah, it will become increasingly difficult to make a good movie adoption. Children and God Emperor are probably easier, Chapterhouse and Heretics will likely be very challenging.

Villeneuve will step away after this one and they will try to replace him and make two more sub-par films and then give up.
