He did it, but still would have a preferred a Dune TV show, especially after the success of GoT, and the streaming wars. The money was there. Characters played by Jason Momoa, Oscar Issac etc only got a little bit of screen time. And all those cool characters would have been amazing to watch over a few seasons.
- MikusR 4y agoThere is both a Dune TV series and Children of Dune TV series. Both much better than the Villeneuve movie.
- Apocryphon 4y agoI totally agree, and hopefully it'll inspire the creation of Dune miniseries and shows, since there's ample precedence there.
- senko 4y agohttps://m.imdb.com/title/tt0142032/ https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0142032/ was actually quite good (as was the followup Children of Dune).

- christkv 4y agoCheckout the old syfy channels mini series.
- sanedigital 4y agoNot sure I need to spoiler alert a book that came out over 50 years ago, but Momoa should be back in Part 3.
- deepzn 4y agoOhhh, snap, I wish I'd stopped at spoiler alert..... :(((( haha it's all good. I'd been meaning to read those for a while, but...alas never did.
- Krasnol 4y agoI doubt there will be a part 3. I assume Villeneuve got the deal safe for two parts but the numbers don't justify a part 3. Maybe a TV show could raise more awareness.
- mercutio2 4y agoQuite the contrary. They didn't green light part 2 until they saw the numbers for part 1, and they were excellent. That doesn't mean they'll go all the way to God Emperor, but I don't think we know for sure they won't.
- MikusR 4y agoMovie that cost 165 million having a 100 million us box office surely looks like good numbers.
- Krasnol 4y agoWell yeah it was officially green lit in October but I doubt he'd have even started if they hadn't promised him something along the lines. The ending is terrible at this point. How would that look on Master Villeneuve's vita? I also doubt they'll go for 3 because all following books don't have that kind of action flick / visual extravaganza potential and this is what Villeneuve can do. Instead there is a lot of talk and this is what Villeneuve can't do. It'll still be the same ol' Dune with a lot of chamber play. I doubt he's even seriously interested in that.
- sanedigital 4y agoI dunno, I think Messiah works as an ending to the trilogy. There's quite a bit of intrigue and action. Nothing gets too weird—Duncan's Ghola is the only new sci-fi addition. Children takes a sharp turn with the whole possession thing and then Leto's metamorphosis. But Messiah is quite adaptable and is the real ending for many of the same characters as Book 1.
