Dune Part Three

Dune Three, an adaptation of the 1969 novel Dune Messiah

   Warning Spoilers if you have not read the books!

     Pencilled in to start filming in 2025 /2026 and observers of Villeneuve's comments seem encouraging this project will happen. Its rumored that he might include the third book, Children of Dune as part of the film. Dune Messiah being around half the size of Dune. Warner bros has set a date of 18th Dec 2026 for Villeneuve's next"event film" if this is dune Messiah, production will most likely start in 2025. Villeneuve has confirmed that the core cast of Dune Two will return for this final part of Paul Atreides story.

     Villeneuve has stated that the third film will be taking place around 12 years later. now in the second film we see Alia as an adult in a flash forward and Alia dose not appear in the second Book as an adult so if he dose include the third book then an adult Alia dose make more sense.

     Villeneuve has stated that the third film is also the end of Paul’s Story arc, but in the second book we have Paul coming back as the "Preacher ", he dose die in the Children of Dune! the evidence seems to point in the direction that the third film will indeed cover aspects of both Dune Messiah and Children of Dune.

     In the books the Holy war was mainly out of sight it has been hinted that in Dune three we will actually get to see some of this. In the books the war claimed 61 Billion souls, however this was not the worse outcome according to Paul’s visions.
