Dune: Part Three

Summary

Dune 3is expected to be Denis Villeneuve ’s adaptation ofDune Messiah , but the threequel should also use anotherDunebook ’s tale to make it better . Villeneuve ’s first twoDunemovies are fairly faithful adaptations of Frank Herbert ’s original sci - fi novel . Based onDune : Part Two ’s endingand where it leaves the character , the apparatus already exists for the enfranchisement to move into tackle Herbert ’s keep an eye on - up book of account , Dune Messiah . The film picks up Paul Atreides ' story with him as the Emperor of the universe and the struggles he face as a result of this power .

Denis Villeneuve’sDune Messiahadaptationis still in the relatively former phase of ontogeny , but expected value for what storyDune 3will William Tell and who will be involved already live . The continued exploration of Paul and Chani ’s love story is vouch , while Princess Irulan and Alia Atreides are poise for an even bigger function . Sticking to theDune Messiahstory even brought teases of bringing back Duncan Idaho like in the beginning material . Dune 3is sure to mostly centre onMessiah ’s events and characters , but it should let in more from theDuneuniverse to be a more complete trilogy capper .

After the explosive ending of Dune 2 , Dune 3 could cap off Denis Villeneuve ’s Dune trilogy by focusing on the events of the novel Dune : Messiah .

Dune Messiah’s Story Skips Over The Story Dune 2’s Ending Sets Up

The Holy War Isn’t In Messiah

One of the potential issue that comes with adaptingDune Messiahis that it does not focus directly on the story thatDune 2 ’s ending most prominently set up . Villeneuve ’s moving picture make a clear point to emphasizethe beginning of a Holy War that comes from Paul ’s ascent to Emperor . The movie conclude with Paul send his regular army of Fremen warrior off Arrakis after the Great Houses do not honor his claim to the throne . This lead Lady Jessica to proclaim that a Holy War is about to begin as Paul ’s Jihad harry any House that does not honour their Lisan Al - Gaib .

Paul ’s advance to emperor moth is the climax of Dune : Part Two , yet his sovereignty activate one of the most bloodline - soaked catamenia in humanity ’s history .

Dune Messiahdoes not cover this event , though . The book picks up 12 eld afterwards , well after the conclusion ofDune 2 ’s Holy War . This creates a possible conflict in terms of what audience expect to see inDune 3versus what the history might really be . If Villeneuve stick strictly to the contents ofDune Messiah , then the next chapter ofthe report will completely avoid the actual event of the Holy Warand the early days or years of Paul as Emperor . This feels like a missed opportunity forDune 3not to state these stories .

One of these extra Bible isPaul of Dune , a 2008 novel written by Frank Herbert ’s son Brian and Kevin J. Anderson . The Word chronicled Paul ’s youth and the War of Assassins , as well asthe immediate consequence of him becoming Emperor and the Holy Warthat earnings across the galaxy .

It is the latter face ofPaul of Dunethat make it a compelling addition toDune 3 . Denis Villeneuve could apply parts of the established franchise canon to bridge over the gap betweenDune 2 ’s ending and the principal story thatDune Messiahtells . This would giveDune 3an opportunity to include more warfare action scene as Paul and his Jihad destroy anyone who fight his linguistic rule . Major plot of ground points like Alia killingLady Margot and Feyd - Rautha ’s childandMargot nearly assassinating Paul could be pulled fromPaul of Dune ’s pages and incorporated intoDune 3then .

It could also be a way to further set up that Paul Atreides is a villain by this pointedness in the story . UsingPaul of Dune ’s textile also could avail increase Irulan and Alia ’s roles , all while bring Lady Margot back into the mix .

If Denis Villeneuve does have any interest in usingPaul of Duneto makeDune 3 , there are various options for how he could integrate these elements . An opening prologue could be done that chronicles the event betweenDune 2andDune 3 . He could also utilize flashbacks to bring these scenes to life in a more traditional manner . SincePaul ’s dreaming and visionshave been such a focal point of the plastic film , nightmares about what happened in his past times could also be usedto bring in these element .

Any of these option present the opportunity forDune 3to enrich the expected story . SincethePaul of Dunebook was drop a line many years afterDune Messiah , it was not part of what Frank Herbert originally created and was made to feature these connection . It is still an in effect piece of the wider universe that specifically fills in gaps that could be more urgent for a heavy - screen adjustment .
