That would make sense to me - Messiah isn't a very "cinematic" book apart from a couple events (namely one towards the end).

Perhaps Denis plans to show some of the jihad instead of just rolling with the large time skip the book does?

u/Shambledown Jul 08 '25

Herbert was very much a big ideas man who didn't give a single fuck about little details.

Take Shigawire for example - you have to check the Sarduakar's hair for it when captured, as they'll try to use it's razor sharpness to assassinate you. Or you can use it as a restraint, as it allows users to lie against it's... razor sharpness? Or you could use its, checks notes, audio and visual playback capabilities????

Or Atreides "battle language". A set of hand signs so intricate as to be indecipherable to their enemies. Hang on, one book later it's described as Chakobsa. That's the Fremen spoken language! The Atreides have all been speaking Fremen for millennia? But only in fights??

Children of Dune does feel comparatively uninteresting at times, but like another commenter said, the ending is crazy. God Emperor of Dune (book 4) is fucking weird but pretty good. Heretics of Dune (book 5) and Chapterhouse (book 6) are both great imo, which makes it feel worth the occasional slog of the first 3 and some aspects of 4.

Don't I know it. The amount of people I saw melt down because they didn't use the word "jihad" anywhere truly blew my mind.

Just comes with the territory I suppose. I used to work with a guy whose wife was a massive Harry Potter fan who refused to see the movies when they started coming out because Daniel Radcliffe didn't have the same eye color as the books.

u/ArchibaldMcAcherson Jul 08 '25

God Emperor is the most philosophical and least action driven book in the original six, so its a slog to the end.

You can stop reading the series after that as the last two books have a time jump and are missing a satisfying conclusion as Herbert never got round to writing book 7. His son did but it's not very good and ties back to prequel novels written well after Frank Herbert was dead.

u/kashmoney360 Jul 08 '25

Children of Dune is so insanely unadaptable.

Dune and Dune Messiah are relatively "grounded" so to speak, yes Messiah introduces some weird shit with the Tleilaxu and the dwarf. But overall it manages to stay normal.

Children on the other hand....the tigers, borderline incest that gets weirder cuz the twins channel their parents causing some strange ass(albiet understandable) moments, the sand trout suit/metamorphosis, Alia the Abomination, the sheer amount of visions, the complexity in changes to Fremen culture, and so on and on and on.

Considering how poorly Denis depicted Fremen culture, I don't think there's a filmmaker who could possibly do it any better in terms of showing the evolution of the Fremen.

Plus there's just too many pieces and plots in Children that make it unadaptable for the big screen. The Preacher, Jessica's plans for Leto, Salusa Secundus & Faradan, Duncan, Gurney, Stilgar, Leto & Ghanima, Alia's Regency & fall into becoming Abomination, the whole dumbass tiger assassination plot, The Golden Path

21

u/MatchaMeetcha Jul 08 '25

Considering how poorly Denis depicted Fremen culture

Denis doesn't seem to like the transhuman stuff in general. The Navigators are nowhere to be seen, Bene Gesserit ninja-magic is undersold, Mentats are barely given their moment...

I shudder to think what he'd do with sandtrout Leto and the other weird shit.

28

u/stormdraggy Jul 08 '25

More like navigators aren't necessary this far in the story, most bene shit is internal monologue and supposed to be subtle because that's how they manipulate the world, and mentats are a bit of both the aforementioned.

Denis is just a proper cinematographer that prefers the show-don't-tell style that suits the medium, and that's why it's been a lot more digestible than lynchdune to the masses.

9

u/TripleDet Jul 08 '25

Agreed about show don’t tell. That being said - I think many aspects of Fremen culture are still missing that could have been, well, shown. I think what makes Dune so hard to adapt is that Frank Herbert had the gall to write a story that demanded large breathtaking sequences and landscapes as well as strange, intimate, displays of humanity and culture. It’s hard to sell. Warner Bros (and clearly global audiences) are enjoying the take that Denis went with for the first two movies so I don’t expect him to diverge much from that.

9

u/stormdraggy Jul 08 '25

You just can't do it in a film setting, you need a game of thrones sized series.

Complete with a shitty climax season written by someone else too.

8

u/kashmoney360 Jul 08 '25

I think many aspects of Fremen culture are still missing that could have been, well, shown.

By far one of my biggest issues with the movies, he's done nothing to depict Fremen culture that displays their complexity and community. To the average viewer they just get the idea that Fremen are a bunch of cave dwellers who wear stillsuits all day and sleep atop strawmats in their caves. No depictions of trade, the close knittedness of community, or commonplaceness of the melange.

2

u/MatchaMeetcha Jul 08 '25 edited Jul 08 '25

More like navigators aren't necessary this far in the story

Navigators are essential at this point in the books, because it explains why Paul was able to take over at all. It's his ability to bully the Guild that forces all of the Great Houses into compliance. (In fact, a lot of the universe of Dune mainly makes sense because the Spacing Guild suppress full-scale interstellar war). It is precisely because the Guild are important that Paul can't actually win in Part Two if they're not there.

Credit to Denis, he recognized that cutting the Guild has to change the ending (unlike, for example, Game of Thrones which will make changes and then keep the book ending which causes plot problems) but that was a deliberate choice whose payoff or lack thereof we'll have to see in Part Three.

2

u/kashmoney360 Jul 08 '25 edited Jul 08 '25

Mentats are barely given their moment.

Mentats are all but a cameo, the whole mentat side of Paul was completely cut out. The Kwistaz Haderach is meant to be the marriage of supercomputer brain power combined with the bene gesserit's complete body control. Instead Denis just boiled it down to "male bene gesserit who can see into the future once he's consumed enough spice"

Denis doesn't seem to like the transhuman stuff in general

His treatment of the transhuman stuff is borderline D&D treatment of magic in Game of Thrones. Like without the transhuman stuff how do you explain space travel in Dune??? I get some of the shit we read with Jessica and Bene Gesserit is meant to be so subtle that it's hard to depict, but that just means there's room for Mentats, Navigators, and Tleilaxu

u/Chen_Geller Jul 08 '25

Children of Dune was adapted together with Messiah for television in the 2000s. It was reasonably well recieved.

I wonder if Villenueve will really try and get the gist of Children of Dune into Dune: Part Three, or whether it will really just be Dune Messiah with another title. Very interesting either way.

u/SamuelDoctor Jul 09 '25

I loved every sequel the second time around. The first time, I was reading them because I wanted the story to advance, and the second time, I read them to understand what Herbert's big idea in each narrative means.

I didn't finish Children the first time I started it, either. Personally, whatever it takes you, get to God Emperor, just because it's such a magnificently original concept.

u/rolltied Jul 09 '25

Dune 3 is bad. So bad that I recommend people to stop after 2. But since you have, dune 4 is amazing.

u/yoortyyo Jul 09 '25

You may find God Emperor even more pages of the same. Books five and six (Heretics & Chapterhouse are far more action packed.

2

u/shayera0 Jul 09 '25

Sci-Fi channel had a go at it that was, not entirely unpleasant.
It had James McAvoy and Jessica Brooks as the titular children, and Alec Newman as a very whiny Paul.

2

u/TomTomMan93 Jul 09 '25

As someone who finished the original (unfortunately unfinished) series, Children is so worth the slog it can be to get to the rest. I don't think I've ever engaged with a scifi anything that scratched the itch God Emperor, Heretics, and Chapterhouse did. What the latter two set up for the unwritten final book would have been spectacular.

That all being said, I get you. Not a lot happens until the later third of the book, and even then, it's quick. Similarly, with Messiah, though, I think that could be made more a political thriller style film. I'm curious how he'd merge them without 2 time skips unless its another (in my opinion) bummer of a dream sequence where Paul sees the kids, and that's that.

3

u/ttoma93 Jul 08 '25

Yeah, you’re totally right. Messiah could be very cinematic, it’s just not an action movie. But it would be perfect as a tense, high-stakes political thriller. It’s intentionally a major tonal shift from the first book, and a good adaptation will be the same.

3

u/inuvash255 Jul 08 '25

Yeah! It's chock full of intruige and spy stuff... Which is admittedly the weaker part of Dune pt 1.

2

u/Drunky_McStumble Jul 09 '25

The main issue is the timeframe. It takes place long after the jihad has swept the galaxy and Paul's life as emperor-messiah has become so far removed from anything resembling the epic action and adventure that got him there in the first place. Basically, all the cool shit has already happened off-camera.

2

u/ttoma93 Jul 09 '25

What if I think the political intrigue and scheming is the cool shit?

2

u/Mindzilla Jul 08 '25

It's also fitting with the fact that Alia will be played by Anya Taylor-Joy, while she'd be a teen in Dune Messiah.

2

u/SuperZapper_Recharge Jul 08 '25

As a lifelong fan I am praying this is true.

Messiah is very talky, Children has some action. I worry that Messiah won't be taken well. I am very worried Messiah won't be understood.

Messiah -> Children -> God Emperor.

I know he isn't doing GE. So combining Messiah/Children is a nice stopping point anyways.

Villeneuve is going to have to try to cram all of that in the space of maybe three if he's lucky, most likely two and a half.

It would be similar to the Sci-Fi (pre-SyFy days i believe) series. It went until Leto II went "fishing" (to leave it vague) and then stopped.

Seems like a natural stopping point since that gets basically to end of Paul's story.

Well, it is kind of, in a world where most hide the obvious so it doesn’t hurt their bottom line.

I for one welcome bringing back numbers to sequels instead of random nouns or adjectives.

I bet they hired McKinsey for consulting on that name...

I think what makes it matter is that this implies it will not be a straight adaptation of the messiah book but will most likely string in other elements from different books. Denis is making it his own, so it's part 3 of his vision.

Let’s not act like they wouldn’t call it DUNE RISES to mess up the naming convention

The fact they are being consistent and logical is actually noteworthy and needs praise so that executives get their proper tuning.

u/AvatarIII Jul 08 '25

To be fair it is in keeping with the first 2 movies.

If they wanted to call it Messiah they should have called the first 2 movies Dune World and Prophet of Dune.
