No but I wouldn't be surprised if they had a draft. Part 1 draft contains scenes that may have been moved to Part 2. It didn't end where the movie ended but further down the line. basically, if you read the book, it ended before the time jump. 

Yeah, Villeneuve said in one interview that he has a draft of it (can mean many things...) and that they could start shooting in next fall, maybe earlier (late summer?).

Good! The earlier the better!

Because you go <insert movie> is a flop lol and repeat it over and over again. So Dune with a HBO Max release should open above HK and do 50M. What person not trolling actually believes that?

H:K was a peacock release. and it was free for download and in HD online. deal with it

DEADLINE:

 

If Dune clocks a similar U.S. household viewership draw in Samba TV terrestrial homes as the first weekend of New Line/HBO Max Mortal Kombat (3.8M), and we use the average price for Dune tickets from box office firm Market EntTelligence ($14.41), back-of-the-napkin calculations could indicate that some $55M was left on the table at the domestic B.O. with Dune (meaning a possible domestic opening of $95M). However, the only questions with that calculation is a.) how many people who watched Dune at home were going to skip seeing it in theater, and b.) that calculation is based on one person per household watching this all-star ensemble of Zendaya, Oscar Isaac, Jason Momoa, Rebecca Ferguson, Timothee Chalamet.

 

------

 

Whaaat... is there any other sources that could pinpoint how many of those HBO viewers 4M+ would have gone into theaters?

 

With this data 20% would have meant 50+ opening for Dune. Maybe that is minimum number that Dune would have gotten without DaD release but wouldn't be surprised if more. Let's see what Samba numbers are for Dune...

Yeah, the 2023 release might work but I'm sure Villeneuve doesn't try to rush the Messiah shooting even if WB wants like Disney did with last Star Wars trilogy which resulted into inconsistent scripts and a mess with with JJ & Rian Johnson...but probably we can have Messiah in 2025 (jumping ahead of things? nooo....)

I don't care what it takes, I need someone to attempt God Emperor of Dune.

 

Just imagine it. Three hours of giant sandworm-human hybrid sitting around in the dark internally musing about politics, economics, history, sociology, religion, philosophy, and morality. Then he falls down a hole and dies.

Since characters age - Messiah takes place 12 years since the events at the end of Dune, later release won't hurt. They won't have to cast older actors.

You really add nothing to any debate on these forums.

 

Angelina Jolie sucks, Jessica Chastain sucks, this movie sucks and then lol after every post. You really should be banned.

After all this becomes a huge franchise and all else is done, sure, why not. Give the audience some spice melange when they enter the cinema and the whole flick is done with some Jodorowsky style flashbacks on those topics starting by rolling some soothing nostalgia clips from Dune Part 1 and moving toward the heavier stuff. And you had the ending there already. Then we'll see who really is a die hard fan and who's not!

The spice slows aging. Time jumps aren't as big a deal here because the characters don't look that much older. 

[Valonqar]

yeah that's why Tim, Daya, etc will be fine.

Just a wonderful movie. Villeneuve has finally delivered the science-fiction masterpiece he had in him.

Blade Runner 2049 and Arrival weren't masterpieces?? every sci-fi film he makes is a masterpiece.

I thought Arrival was one of the 10 best movies of the last decade honestly.
