Dune director Denis Villeneuve is toying with the idea of turning his feature adaptation of Frank Herbert’s science fiction book series into a trilogy.
The sequel will enjoy an exclusive, 45-day theatrical window – something that was a “non-negotiable condition” for the director.
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, the 54-year-old filmmaker said a third film in the Dune franchise “makes sense” to him.
If things go well with the sequel, the filmmaker said he “could foresee the idea of maybe doing Dune Messiah”.
