Unlike David Lynch’s Dune movie from 1984, Denis Villeneuve’s Dune will only cover the first half of the original story.
While Eric Roth, who co-wrote the Dune script with Villeneuve and Jon Spaihts, has written a full treatment for Dune 2, Warner Bros’ hasn’t officially greenlit the sequel yet.
There’s also a prequel series in the works for HBO Max called Dune: The Sisterhood.
As far as this first movie goes, its ensemble cast includes Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya, Javier Bardem, Oscar Isaac, Jason Momoa, Josh Brolin, Dave Bautista and Stellan Skarsgård, among others.
