Dune Part 2 was officially announced - with release

Dune gets the hoped-for second part, which stood a long time on the sandy cant. For this purpose, the Science Fitting Filmepos had to rinse a lot of money into the cinocases - and that s what happened now.

It is a good day for cinema lovers: Denis Villeneuves Image-effective Science Fiction epic Dune gets green light for a second part (Source: Twitter). While the cinemas are still filling their ranks with Dune, everyone has been clear after the cinema visit at the latest: this is just the beginning of a much greater history. In fact, director Villeneuve filmed in the almost three-hour movie only half of the first Dune book. A second part is more or less required to bring at least the whole book on the big screen.

Overall, there are six Dune books, which were all written by the award-winning Science Fiction author Frank Herbert. The first three are considered essential by many fans. So Villeneuve has enough material for even more than just two movies, it should come to it.
