DUNE MESSIAH Will Change Movies Forever

Dune Messiah will change movies forever. In this video essay, I discuss why Dune Part 2 is a masterful science fiction film that sets up Dune Messiah to be even better. Denis Villeneuve's Dune Messiah will change the movie landscape through its source material and also its filmmaking potential.

Paul Atreides leads nomadic tribes in a battle to control the desert planet Arrakis. Dune is an upcoming epic science fiction film directed by Denis Villeneuve with a screenplay by Jon Spaihts, Villeneuve, and Eric Roth. The film is an international co-production of Canada, Hungary, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It is the first of a planned two-part adaptation of the 1965 novel of the same name by Frank Herbert, which will cover roughly the first half of the book. The film stars an ensemble cast including Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Zendaya, David Dastmalchian, Chang Chen, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, Charlotte Rampling, Jason Momoa, and Javier Bardem.

DUNE MESSIAH Will Change Movies Forever

[CortexVideos]

After the success and positive responses to Dune Part 2, I discuss the reasons why Dune Messiah could be a game-changer for modern blockbusters. I recently read Dune Messiah and it's a book that provides a very different kind of finale than we are used to seeing.

[tupus]

I must not hype. Hype is a mind killer

[helygg]

I vote for a uncut all in one dune movie, all three edited together into one cinematic masterpiece.

[petrairene]

The most intrigueing thing about Messiah is that it doesn´t even bother with a "happy end".

[TJ_ax]

I honestly think this film could REALLY raise the bar for both action and political drama. You could really show the war through flashbacks or even an extended prologue. I just want to see more of the Holy War than the book.

[ribcagesteak]

The Godfather Part II laid the groundwork of a tragic blockbuster without a heroic ending. Dune Messiah should follow suit.

[sammalla]

The de- construction of Paul's character from a messiah figure to a person responsible for religious crusades & absolutely hating his position is going to be a very difficly set-up to pull-off but i believe in Dennis & Timothee to bring their A-game for this finale

[nickhtk]

Im not sure people are going to like it too much. From Dune 2, action drama.... Dune 3, a grinding Greek tragedy... with a grim ending.

[mamasnightmare]

As a book afficionade, i was blown away. I went alone to make sure i didnt have a "pretty pictures" type with me. The experience was amazing. Saturday i will go again.

[AngiMP]

It's Villeneuve. It's going to be a great film. I just hope the studio and the general pressure don't get in his way. I hope he gets to make the film he wants to make.

[TheSleightDoctor]

Great analysis, thank you for taking the time to make it. Villeneuve really does have an opportunity to make a film that's stridently anti-Hollywood - and we can be sure he will take it in that direction, as he was already laying the groundwork in Part 2. While it would be overly reductive to call Paul a villian, it's clear that his good intentions fail to prevent the deaths of tens of billions of peope, and the tragic ending represents his ultimate acceptance that the world may well be better off without him. 2027 can't come soon enough!

[henrycase]

They could easily slot in 10-15 min battle scenes as flashbacks in between the slower parts of the Messiah story. Maybe even a dual narrative of two different time periods like Godfather Part 2.

I'm no filmmaker but I'd like to imagine when a scene ends and it cuts to black, we then get a... "Year 2 of the Holy War". After that ends, the movie gets back to the main narrative until at some point we see another campaign like "Year 6 of the Holy War" and so on.

[Zotrax]

A very well put, detailed and nuanced analysis. Really interesting, and shows how you actually get the ideas of the books quite precisely.

[JezzaBondiBeach]

Great video mate. Wasn’t expecting it this morning (I’m in Sydney Australia 🇦🇺). As an adaptation to the big screen, I can bet we see a lot of the holy war before focusing on the main characters !
I’m VERY ampd for Messiah and Dune Prophecy tv series 🏄🏼‍♂️ 🐛

[raduneo]

All good points.

I think VIlleneve could really play with the visions aspect of Paul, perhaps even giving us the full water of life sequence that many people wanted to see from Paul in the second movie but didn't get... it could work as a flashback. The visions play a central role near the end of Messiah, both plot-wise (on more than 1 occasion) and thematically.

[Mizar]

I wonder if they will show the opening scene of the book; when an official of Muad'dib's religious enforcers interrogate an historian in a prison cell because he dared to be critical of the new Emperor? Another character that will be important to the Conspiracy against Muad'dib will be Bijaz, the creepy Tleilaxu dwarf. I am also wondering though how they will portray the Stone Burner sequence. - No matter what, it's going to be an amazing creation if Denis can come up with a screenplay that he's satisfied with. I hope that this can eventually become a reality!

[SanosEdge]

Can't wait to see how Villeneuve puts his spin on the trap of prescience. Such a dark end to Paul's journey

[jeffreyroedel]

I think the the first 30 minutes of part 3 could be a climactic battle across the galaxy, then when Paul and the Fremen win, it jumps ahead in years to when he's been Emperor for a while and Alia is grown up, the plot to overthrow him gets underway and Chani and he reunite etc. Just my 2 cents.

[mistadopeman]

I can’t wait to watch these two films back to back.

[westloves]

I cant wait, huge Messiah fan. Really excited to see what Denis does with it.
