'A Lifelong Aspiration': Denis Villeneuve ready to dive deeper with 'Dune Messiah'

"A lifelong aspiration."_ These are the words Denis Villeneuve uses to describe his journey with the 'Dune' series. As reported by Collider, the celebrated director is preparing to bring Frank Herbert's 'Dune Messiah' to the big screen, a spectacular finale to his planned 'Dune' trilogy.

Box Office Success to Determine the Fate of 'Dune Messiah'

Whether the 'Dune' series becomes a triumphant trilogy depends on the box office performance of the eagerly awaited 'Dune: Part Two.' Despite the pandemic, the initial installment managed to make a respectable impact at the box office, gaining a legion of dedicated fans. If 'Dune: Part Two' performs similarly, audiences can anticipate an exhilarating conclusion to the series.

Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet Return in 'Dune: Part Two'

Picking up from the end of the first film, 'Dune: Part Two' sees Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) allying himself with Chani (Zendaya) and the Fremen. Together, they embark on a quest for vengeance against the culprits behind his family's annihilation. With a disastrous future foreseen, Atreides uses his strength and determination to avert the catastrophe.

For Villeneuve, bringing the 'Dune' series to life has been a dream since his childhood in rural Montreal. His deep connection to the material and unwavering passion for the project drive his determination to continue translating these stories to the big screen.

Villeneuve's aspiration to adapt the entire series became evident when he added "Part One" to the 'Dune' credits without informing Warner Bros., later discussing 'Dune: Messiah' during the press tour. 

As we gear up for the theatrical release of 'Dune: Part Two' on November 3, it seems we may be on the brink of seeing Villeneuve's vision realized with the completion of his 'Dune' trilogy.
