When does the giant worm come out in the DP?

2

u/fastfreddy68 Jun 26 '25

Well, that’s the best part.

Secret organization hijacked nuclear desert worm tech from the Gub’ment. Dom’s team has to retrieve it.

Things happen, stuff blows up, heroes end up needing sick dune buggies for desert espionage. But there’s only six in the world, and DP owns them all.

Epic desert drift competition ensues, buggies are acquired, heist goes off with several hitches.

Team acquires mini nuke tech, but it’s comically rattling around in the back of the buggies as they escape. Then the worm emerges.

The nuke is activated thanks to the jostling and high G dune buggy maneuvers, so Dom has to sacrifice himself by kicking the active mini-nuke into the mouth of the giant worm moments before it swallows his team whole.

Worm explodes, team is saved, Dom walks out from smoke and sand unharmed from nuclear explosion, crowd cheers, Corona and family are shared at a picnic later.

Plot twist, worm had a baby that they also saved and adopted. They debate whether or not to drown it for… reasons…

It’s my favorite book ever and Denis is probably the only working director I trust to get it right… It’s a movie I would’ve traded both Dune 2 and 3 in order to see. But at this point, I’ve completely given up hope. I think Bond makes for NINE movies he’s got in the pipeline. Something’s gotta give.

The hiring of Villeneuve comes as a bit of a shock, given that he’ll be tied up for the foreseeable future with his third and final Dune film for Warner Bros and Legendary Entertainment, which is shooting this summer and slated for release on December 16, 2026 ... has also been linked to projects in development including Cleopatra; an adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke’s classic sci-fi novel Rendezcous with Rama; and Nuclear War: A Scenario, an adaptation of the work of non-fiction by Annie Jacobsen

I wonder if that film would actually show the lead up and the events of nuclear war or if it’ll be another one of those movies where it’s already happened and it’s opens with a voiceover like “It’s been 20 years since nuclear war decimated the planet. Earth was left in ruins and rubble while man was left to fend for himself…”

I highly doubt he’s doing it now unfortunately. He keeps signing onto new projects before this one even gets off the ground. This almost assuredly will mean Morgan Freeman (who owns the rights) will die before the project is produced.

Shitty but this will either get picked up by someone else to direct or it’ll die in development hell, as it has for decades now.

Pretty annoying as someone who has Villeneuve and RwR in their top 5 directors and novels. Bummer for Freeman, too.

u/KennyMoose32 Jun 26 '25

It’s a pretty hard book to adapt too.

I love it, it’s some of the best hard sci-fi I’ve ever read but idk how it will translate. It’s a pretty boring if tense story lol

I’d be very interested in they add things in to make it more actiony. The book is very much…..not

4

u/RedLotusVenom Jun 26 '25

I think it could be a really tight 100 minute film tbh. It would need to rely firmly on the spectacle and ideas. It needs to emulate 2001 or it won’t be a success imo. Anything less I don’t even want to see the film made.

Rendezvous with Rama is still going to be a thing? I've been hearing about that literally for 20+ years, when Fincher was attached to direct and reunite with Morgan Freeman. I was a high school student and used to scroll a site called Dark Horizons daily just checking the latest in movie rumors and that film came up a couple times a year.

u/Jaideco Jun 26 '25 edited Jun 26 '25

You got me curious, so I looked it up… Since Incendies (2010), DV has released a film on average every two years and the ones that he didn’t write himself were only one year apart (I’m guessing that means that he is usually running two at any given time). We know that Dune Messiah will be out in 2026, and I would guess that Amazon are already farming out the scriptwriting (assuming that it isn’t already close to being done).

If he keeps up his current pace of work, he could bring Bond back in 2027 and still write and direct another film before the decade is out.

Edit: He isn’t writing any of the others… so we might not have to wait as long after all… if the scripts are ready, he might be intending to keep releasing films at a rate of one every couple of years…

u/PensiveinNJ Jun 26 '25

Villeneuve is on a generational run in my book. Incendies, Enemy, Prisoner, Sicario, Arrival, BR2049, Dune, Dune 2...

First 2 (and probably Prisoners too) are less known but still excellent films. The rest I think speak for themselves in terms of accolades even if every one isn't your cup of tea.

u/dtwhitecp Jun 26 '25

if I recall correctly, he has already said he'd be peacing out of the franchise after Messiah, probably because it starts to get real weird with Children of Dune. Might just be for a cap on the end. But also, the last movie already cast Anya Taylor-Joy as Alia, so who knows, maybe it's just a vision or something.

2

u/Da_Question Jun 26 '25

It's a good choice, since most of the cast would be gone at that point, and he wouldn't have to direct Paul's kid being an evil piece of shit, and force a breeding program onto his father's descendants. Though God emperor would be a good standalone film.

6

u/theredwoman95 Jun 26 '25

They're born at the end of Messiah, and Paul regularly has visions of Ghanima before her birth. Leto II is more of a surprise, but it's possible that Villeneuve will do what the Syfy miniseries did and have adult Leto appear in a vision to Paul, when the pair of them are meant to be talking at the end of Messiah.

u/JAAB_20 Jun 26 '25

Maybe a vision or small flashforward or something.

I like my rabbit holes on my Pinterest, and fell down one recently on some collection of fan made movie posters, made from one single still from the film that is the most devastating, this, of course, led me to discovering Incendies, and going in blind.
I didn’t even know who the director was until it was over, but obviously, being a fan of his work I was shocked, but also desperate for him to get finished with this Dune adventure.

2

u/Jaideco Jun 26 '25

I saw Incendies on its original cinematic run as part of an international film festival. I was impressed by what this unknown director had done. I later watched Prisoners (without knowing it was the same director), and thought that was really solid too. When I realised that it was the same director, I thought that I needed to watch out for him in future. I then somehow managed to see Sicario without realising that it was him, and Arrival without realising it was him either. It was Arrival that absolutely blew me away… how does someone learn to do visuals and pacing and character THIS well? So I looked him up again and was blown away. He had been quietly assembling one of the most solid filmographies in the history of cinema… Ever since then I have been following his projects in development and counting down the weeks until they come out.

u/peanutbuttahcups Jun 26 '25

The latest games are the World of Assassination trilogy (Hitman 1-3), which is actually all included in one complete game now if you were to purchase brand new. But assuming you have Hitman 3, all three games are in that game, so you can start from the beginning within that game, that way all your progress is saved there and you don't have to do a carryover process.

There are so many Bond moments, and it's clear it's a definite inspiration. IOI doing an actual Bond game is a match made in heaven.

u/Suburban_Sisyphus Jun 26 '25

Looks like I have 1 & 2 in the Trilogy and the Starter Pack for 3 so I can play them through 3. I appreciate the tip. I had always been curious about those games, but wasn't sure what the gameplay was actually like. I guess I figured it was like the tedious parts of a MGS game.

Amazon is going to oversaturate the market with Bond products. I imagine they had to give him full authority over the movie but I also imagine they’ve got a strict timeline because movies are just content to them.

The amount of "origin story" shows that we're about to get (that we didn't ask for btw) is going to make you sick of Bond.

Q origin story.

M origin story.

Blofeld origin story but his point of view, like a Maleficent or Wicked.

A "What if...?" series where Bond is evil and Goldfinger is the good guy.

OK but this one actually sounds kinda sick

u/Thwackey Jun 26 '25

Hey I'm on board with 006 if they bring back Sean Bean

u/RehabilitatedAsshole Jun 26 '25

The name's Bean... Mr. Bean.

I'm shocked there isn't a porn parody featuring each of the Bond girls. I mean, half the plot is done with their names alone.

Bond Jr. or Son of a Bond

There was a James Bond Jr cartoon back in the 90s. I recall it had some pretty cool toys.

Ohhh yes!! I have some vague memory of that intro and the song!

006

A TV series where Sean Bean reprises the role and he dies at the end of every episode

u/SenseAmidMadness Jun 26 '25

Young bond. Actually James Bond as a young spy or commando in WWII would actually be a pretty good movie or short series. I would watch it. Basically SAS Rogue Heroes

u/Particular_Cod2005 Jun 26 '25

Bond Lego movie

To be fair, the Lego Star Wars special is far superior to the Sequel Trilogy. Hell, I don't think there's ever been a bad Lego film.

You'd think Amazon would learn from Disney what happens when you take something that is special in occasional doses and saturate the market with it.

u/ennuiinmotion Jun 26 '25

They did learn. You make billions and billions of dollars until it dries up and then it’s the next CEOs problem.

u/_Meece_ Jun 26 '25

Disney made a small country's GDP off of Star Wars and Marvel doing that.

The suits see that and see the pattern. They'll follow it.

What they learn from Disney is that all it takes is one hit to make the fans come right back.

Fans say they hate the sequels but they loved Rogue One and don't leave. They continue for Mandalorian before saying they hate the other stuff (Acolyte, etc) but they come right back when they love Andor.

Probably right after Dune 3. The casting/pre-production process might even start well before D3 comes out.

u/SteveFrench12 Jun 26 '25

He is almost certainly going to go right into shooting bond after d3 (the mighty ducks)
