Have they started filming Dune II which I assume picks up from proclamation of Paul as Muad'dib to seating Paul on the Throne with his "wife"


I seem to have read they have a script, but have started no actual pre-production for part 2. Any movie is two to three years away.

I thought they were going to roll out #2 and #3 quickly after the first movie

That was before all the issues between the studio and the director, driven by the pandemic.

Care to elaborate?

I don't think they were ever going to make part two immediately after part one. Villenueve signed a two movie deal, but it was always going to be Warner Bros waiting to see how much money the first part made before they turned him lose for a sequel

The pandemic delaying the first movie has really thrown a wrench in Villenueve's schedule going forward (as well as many people in the cast I'm sure), and he complained publicly (similar to Nolan) about the same day theater and HBO Max release that WB had planned for all its future releases. I think a lot of that has been smoothed over, but seems like Dune doing well at the box office (Not a guarantee for DV's movies) and timing to work out just right may have to happen for us to get the second part.

Roger. Makes sense and I am definitely on the side of the directors in this whole scenario. Thanks.

Just FYI, this strategy is a 2021 thing only. For instance, The Batman in March is currently set to be a theatrical exclusive, along with all of Warner Bros.' 2022 and beyond releases. That could very well change, of course, and at some point WB will probably adopt a strategy similar to Paramount+ (on streaming 45 days after the theatrical release), but for now the day-and-date HBO Max strategy ends with The Matrix Resurrections on December 16.

Oops. I think I even had 2021 in there on my original post but for some reason edited. Thanks

It's official - looks like I'll be accelerating my pace on current books so I can reread Dune ahead of this.

I am so hyped.

This better be good and worthy, and everybody better go see it a dozen times so it makes $10 billion and they start making the rest of the series, then no longer will I be the only person I know who understands what the ghola Miles Teg is capable of.

Such a badass trailer.

How far into the story is this movie supposed to go? I've heard it only covers part one, but there's a lot of Chani and Stilgar in there.

It looks like it goes pretty far, probably until the 2-year time skip in the books when Jessica has become Reverend Mother and Paul is being seen as Muad'dib.

I got the feeling from this trailer that we might be getting more of the Fremen opposition against Rabban than you get in the book.

I definitely got the vibe that we're going to get to see a lot of the stuff that we just see mention of in the books, including some major battles between the Atreides and Harkonnens and all that. I think it's going to be awesome.

I think a decent amount of what we saw regarding Paul/Jessica/the Fremen are going to end up being visions and dreams by Paul. Not actual things that happen.

so after reading the last several posts, it does seem like you will need familiarization with the books to thoroughly get/enjoy the movies.

Holy. ****. No words will do my feelings of that trailer justice, just that I think DV made the Dune film(s) we we were all hoping for.

I'm torn on watching this. Kind of want to go in blind, but I'm fairly certain I'll be watching this as soon as my wife gets off of her conference call here in about 5 minutes.

That was legitimately one of the best trailers I've ever seen.
