About Dune
Dune is a science fiction novel by Frank Herbert, first published in 1965, and is the first instalment of the Dune Chronicles. It is an epic story set in the distant future, where noble House Atreides is thrust into a war for the deadly and inhospitable desert planet Arrakis.
The novel has been called the “first planetary ecology novel on a grand scale” and described as an “environmental awareness handbook”. It has been considered an “unfilmable” and “uncontainable” work to adapt from novel to film or other visual medium.
In 2021, a film adaptation of Dune was released, directed by Denis Villeneuve, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jon Spaihts and Eric Roth.
The film is titled Dune: Part One and is the first of a two-part novel adaptation. The film follows Paul Atreides, played by Timothée Chalamet, as he navigates the dangerous planet Arrakis.
The film received positive reviews for its visuals, score, and cast, but some critics found it slow-paced. A sequel to the 2021 film, Dune: Part Two will be released on November 3, 2023.
Dune 3 will come after Part Two
Dune: Part Two will be one of the year’s most popular movies, and a new story says that plans are already underway for Dune 3.
Frank Herbert’s book laid the groundwork for modern science fiction, but adapting it to the big screen has always been challenging. Alejandro Jodorowsky’s version was the first to fail, with a budget that kept going up and a 14-hour runtime.
David Lynch’s version was the most famous, but it didn’t work, even though some defended it. Dexerto says Dune: Part Two is the “second picture in a planned three-film saga.” Even though it hasn’t been told, the third movie would probably be based on Dune: Messiah, the second book in Frank Herbert’s Dune Chronicles.
It was turned into a film in 2003 called Children of Dune. Villeneuve will almost certainly return as director, and author Jon Spaihts will also return.
The third part will continue the story, and Villeneuve and author Jon Spaihts will likely write it together. Even though the studio hasn’t said they are working on Part Three, fans can still hope this visionary trilogy will be finished. This is not the first time Dune Messiah has been turned into a movie. The drama Children of Dune aired in 2003 and was primarily based on the book.
What is the release date for Dune 2?
Comingsoon.net states that the movie Dune 2, Dune: Part Two, will appear in theatres on November 3, 2023. The movie was meant to come out on November 17, 2023, but that date was moved up by two weeks after Marvel said that its Blade reboot would come out in 2024 instead.
Then, Dune: Part Two took the spot in early November, which was great because The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is coming out on November 17, and the two highly anticipated movies would have been competing in theatres.
Unlike its first part, Dune: Part Two will not be shown at the Venice Film Festival. But a run at a festival is not impossible, especially since the Cannes Film Festival is coming up at the end of May.
