Legendary Pictures Has Officially Greenlit DUNE: PART 2

I’ve got some exciting news for all you fans of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune! Legendary Pictures has announced that they’ve officially greenlit Dune: Part 2! I was really hoping that we’d get a sequel because I’ve got to see how the filmmaker finishes the story! The first film kind of ended on a cliffhanger.

The studio announced the new in a tweet with an image saying, “This is only the beginning… Thank you to those who have experienced @dunemovie so far, and those who are going in the days and weeks ahead. We're excited to continue the journey!”

It’s also been confirmed that the film will be released October 20, 2023.

Villeneuve has been preparing for this, and when previously teasing the sequel, he said that Dune is just “an appetizer for the second part still to come.” He then describes the second part as "the main meal." Well, that main meal is going to be served to fans, and I can’t wait! The second film will tackle the second part of the story in the first book.

The director also shared that the sequel is ready to go. He shared, "To go quickly in a movie of that size you still need to make sets, costumes, so we are talking about months. But if ever there's enthusiasm and the movie is green lit sooner than later, I will say that I will be ready to shoot in 2022, for sure. 2022, for sure. I would love to because I am ready to go, and I will say that I would love to bring it to the screen as soon as possible."

There’s also a possible third film that could happen. When talking about that third film, the filmmaker said, "There is Dune's second book, The Messiah Of Dune, which could make an extraordinary film. I always saw that there could be a trilogy. After that, we'll see."

Are you excited to hear that we are getting a Dune: Part 2?
