There will be another Dune movie.Villeneuve decided to split his adaptation into two parts because the world in Herbert's novel is far to expansive to be squeezed into one film. “I would not agree to make this adaptation of the book with one single movie,” he told VF. “The world is too complex. It’s a world that takes its power in details.”
Two films to cover first novel.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Pretty much all the same could have been said of Villeneuve's last high concept blockbuster. Unfortunately it was a box office failure. In many ways, Blade Runner 2049 and Dune are similar. Personally, I loved Blade Runner 2049. I saw it in the theater a few times. I find myself owning 3 copies of it so far. I thought it should have been best picture that year. But high concept movies rarely become blockbusters.
.... at the very least be a really compelling film that looks great (minus pop star Sting in bizarro underwear though so at least the original still has that going for it in perpetuity :P )
FWIW none of us should care much about box office numbers (assuming no one here works directly for a movie studio), right?
DUNE _might_ have a better shot, being based off of a popular and respected book.
