About Dune 3

Dune 3 is based on Frank Herbert's 1969 novel Dune: Messiah.

The previous two movies in the franchise, Dune: Part One (2021) and Dune: Part Two (2024), were based on Herbert's 1965 novel Dune. It follows Paul Atreides' (Chalamet) family, the noble House Atreides, taking control of the desert planet Arrakis.

Villeneuve will conclude the story of Dune with the third part.

Earlier, he told TIME magazine, “Dune Messiah should be the last Dune movie for me.”

“I was trying to be, as a filmmaker, as invisible as possible,” he said of the first film, adding, “I tried my best to keep the poetry of the book, the atmosphere, the colours, the smell, everything that I felt when I read the book. I tried.”

Dune 2 won two Oscars out of five nominations at the 97th Academy Awards. It reportedly grossed more than $714 million at the worldwide box office.
