A stunning second trailer for Dune: Part 2 was released on Thursday, giving us a look at some incredible new footage from what we assumed was to be the concluding chapter in Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of Frank Herbert's seminal sci-fi saga.

However, Deadline has now confirmed that there will be a Dune: Part 3, which will adapt the second book in the series, Dune: Messiah.

Without going into too much detail for fear of spoiling Part 2, Messiah is set 12 years after the events of the first book, and has a lot going on. We're not sure how Villeneuve is planning to condense this story into one film when he needed to split the first book in half, but there's always a chance Part 2 will also adapt certain parts of Messiah.

Check out the new trailer for Dune: Part 2 below.

The saga continues as award-winning filmmaker Denis Villeneuve embarks on Dune: Part Two, the next chapter of Frank Herbert’s celebrated novel Dune, with an expanded all-star international ensemble cast. The film, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, is the highly anticipated follow-up to 2021’s six-time Academy Award-winning Dune. 

The big-screen epic continues the adaptation of Frank Herbert’s acclaimed bestseller Dune with returning and new stars, including Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet (Wonka, Call Me by Your Name”), Zendaya (Spider-Man: No Way Home, Malcolm & Marie, Euphoria), Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning), Oscar nominee Josh Brolin (Avengers: End Game Milk), Oscar nominee Austin Butler (Elvis, Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood), Oscar nominee Florence Pugh (Black Widow, Little Women), Dave Bautista (the Guardians of the Galaxy films, Thor: Love and Thunder), Oscar winner Christopher Walken (The Deer Hunter, Hairspray),  Léa Seydoux (the James Bond franchise and Crimes of the Future), with Stellan Skarsgård (the Mamma Mia! films, Avengers: Age of Ultron), with Oscar nominee Charlotte Rampling (45 Years, Assassin’s Creed), and Oscar winner Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men, Being the Ricardos).

Dune: Part Two will explore the mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a warpath of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family. Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, he endeavors to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.

Gang my sister and I ate a tab and a half of the good Ole Lord's ergot derived happy place locater in an attempt to see God last night..... needless to say we ended up doing a double header of Reeve's The Batman and then straight into Nolan's The Dark Knight.




What a journey....

Not in the slightest. I find the first movie immensely overrated.

@DrReedRichards - YES! I swear I thought I was the only one who thought this. The film was beautiful but overall was a slog to sit through and had some very questionable action scenes. Such as the everyone bringing a knife to a laser destroying city battle like wtf.

It's just. So. F#ckin' EMPTY!

Scenery filled with empty deserts and empty halls, dialogue filled with empty threats and empty platitudes, music filled with empty BWAAAAHS and no melodic leitmotiffs, only harmonic chords.

Jesus Christ, it's all a bunch of nothingness! And for what? For a Part 1 of God knows how many that was never even advertised as such?

Gtfoh...

@DrReedRichards - its not a good look to completely bash something as "empty" that you just didn't understand. there is many types of content that i don't get because they are not for me but i'd never say they're empty if i see that there is a wide acclaim on the piece, or just millions of people loving it. like, clearly you dislike it a lot, but to say it's empty is just dumb. and did you know harmony can't exist before a melody? there ARE melodic leitmotiffs, they are not just as apparent as you would like.

@DrReedRichards - I agree with you. I love Villeneuve as a director, I really do, but for me Dune is a boring, nothingness of a movie. Even the action was boring. I almost walked out half way through the movie.

"i don't like contemplative cinema so much", see? it's that easy

Here's a Hot Take for you to share on reddit: Dennis Villeneuve would not have had half of his die-hard audience if his name was something plebeian instead, like "Bob Johnson".

As a Darren Aronofsky fan, trust me, it's just that easy to sound fancy. Just simp for a non-English sounding director.

@DrReedRichards - thank you for calling me that, but i'm just stating my opinion. again, either you don't understand it or you do but end up projecting, evading everything i said and saying something that doesn't have anything to do with my comment.

@Midnaslament -

Woah, I never called you anything. I don't know you well enough to criticize you, positively or negatively. I keep these either for friends of mine or for troll-baiting turds. Again, I don't know you well enough to call you the former, and you've said nothing absurd to call you the latter.

My point, however, is that there is nothing contemplative about Villeneuve's Dune. It's just a a slow burn epic sci-fi with bombastic minimalism. Hardly anything more than that.

Is it well acted? Sure. But it looks vast and empty just for the sake of scope. Is it well sound-mixed? It's actually excellent on that front. But again, it's score leaves much to be desired; or it would, had it carried a name other than Zimmer's.

Just in case I wasn't clear, I have no personal beef with you. If anything, I appreciate the fact that you're a fellow Zelda fan. But I do have an issue with kino reddit and kino Twitter, if not film elitism in general.

I hope I'm not misunderstood this time.

@DrReedRichards - that's a shame because it was pretty awesome Sci fi. This next one looks peak. Did you enjoy Prisoners or BladeRunner?

@EZBeast - slow and exhausting much like Arakis.

@McMurdo -

I absolutely LOVE Prisoners. Still his best, in my opinion.

BR49 was neat, but Leto's God complex made it insufferable for me. Shame, 'cause Ford looked like he actually gave a shit, and Gosling nailed the stoic part without seeming pretentiously edgy.

@DrReedRichards - please don't tell me you though Noah was fantastic or something next. I like Darren but he puts out some stinkers at times.
DrReedRichards
DrReedRichards - 7/1/2023, 4:30 PM
@McMurdo -

Noah is Aronofsky's worst by a landslide,but I did love Mother which seemed to divide folks.

McMurdo - 7/1/2023, 4:32 PM
@DrReedRichards - I agree Prisoners is his best. I really enjoyed Arrival too. But ya BR definitely had issues and felt like it was Dune 1-esque I'm alot of ways. I get those critiques even if I don't fully agree with them. But I also love a slow burn so my tastes just align in that way.

@DrReedRichards - You're half right. It's not the best, but not the worst as well. It's above average. However, edge lords and pretentious fart boxes will go- ohhh it's too deep. Nope. It isn't.

I am looking forward to the next one, even though I think Timotheee is miscast.
