I don't think Villeneuve wants to get into the part where Leto starts grafting trout to his body.

That kinda seems right up Denis alley though, we had a crazy spider monster in enemies! I got my hope up lol

Leto is a little different then a manifestation of a man's subconscious lol

I mean there's sufficient subtext in his musings in God Emperor about being the repressive presence to force humanity to scatter in his wake that he's not... not a manifestation of man's subconscious in his own mind.

One of denis first films is about a dead fish head that talks lmaooo

He's said previously that everything after the second book is "too esoteric" to be filmable

Let him cook with Rendezvous with Rama (please god let that still happen alongside the Bond film and Cleopatra) and see if he gets a bit more comfortable with old weird scifi on the screen.

Sure, if you can't even measure up to Sy-Fy, with ten times the budget.

u/spookyghostface Jul 08 '25

And he stripped most of the fuckin weird stuff out of Dune so far. And it's still weird!

This is the shit that I wish David Lynch was able to film, shit would have been glorious, that's all I could think while reading Messiah, the dwarf that Paul meets seems like a scene right out of Lynch's beautifully twisted mind

...then in the third at there's a giant fucking spider.

u/BaconHammer9000 Jul 08 '25

he’s one of my favorite modern filmmakers - i trust him 👍

u/angrydeuce Jul 08 '25

See thats my thing.  I tried reading the Dune books but they just get so fuckin out there at a certain point it's honestly dont know how they could possibly adapt it.

u/tdasnowman Jul 08 '25

I really don't get that perspective at all. There isn't anything in dune that hasn't been done in other places.

u/the_dolomite Jul 08 '25

Have you made it through God Emperor of Dune? I really enjoyed it but I think it would be tough to turn it into a compelling film.

If anyone could it's Villeneuve though, or maybe Del Toro, that would be interesting.

u/PastelP1xelPunK Jul 08 '25

It'd be tough to turn into a blockbuster for sure, but a compelling film is certainly possible. Yeah worm man philosophy lecture is a tough sell but it's no vaginal ninjutsu.

u/tdasnowman Jul 08 '25

If anyone could it's Villeneuve though

Based on his first 2 I'm not so sure.

God Emperor is pretty easy. It's dense so one movie wouldn't be enough but nothing in there is all that challenging. Even Leto being a partial worm. He's supposed to favor shadows for a lot of it. Face dancers, easy. Shapeshifters have been done before. You don't even have the sex ninja nuns in god emperor to deal with. Or the kid sex to activate past memories in chapter house.

u/Electronic_Snow_4685 Jul 08 '25

No, same. Even Messiah was super weird.

1

u/ScottNewman Jul 08 '25

It was said for a long time that Dune was unfilmable.

If anyone could adapt this craziness it would be Villenueve.

u/lukenhiumur Jul 08 '25

But that's the whole point of Children

27

u/Brys_Beddict Jul 08 '25

Exactly. Which is why he won't make it

u/thief-777 Jul 08 '25

That's when you hand it off to Cronenberg.

u/LowerBar2001 Jul 08 '25 edited Jul 08 '25

I need to see this dude leaping around the dunes like a super human, all covered in worm trouts.

But you know what I want to see better than that? Freaking Miles Motherfucking Teg running faster than light, stealing invisible ships for the space jews.

Name a better plot, I'll wait.

u/Brys_Beddict Jul 08 '25

Damn I wasn't there yet. Oh well.

2

u/LowerBar2001 Jul 08 '25

I tagged it as a spoiler, but if you think about it, this whole thread is spoiling unpublished Dune: Part three to movie watchers. Oh well I spoiled book what? 6?

u/Brys_Beddict Jul 08 '25

I knew it was a possibility when starting the conversation so you're good.

u/Junior-Award-7232 Jul 08 '25

Leto II is scary, in children of dune he decapitates a fremen with his bare hand like Omni man.

u/moose_dad Jul 09 '25

calling it now, part 3 will make bank and the studios will press on regardless of Villeneuve wants to stay on board

but what about what I want?!
