After Cleopatra (his next film) he has Rendezvous with Rama probably before Dune 3.

Excited for all of his movies though. Plenty o Denis

If I could get a Denis film every two years, that'd be great. Whatever he wants to work on. I don't care.

I recently read Dune Messiah and loved it due to those themes. I'm hoping to read the rest of the books this year

I loved it since I love when Sci Fi goes weird

But that's understandable, the Dune books past Dune I heard are divisive

Definitely going to be interesting seeing how audiences react to where this goes

Attack on Titan did it, but there's a lot more normies watching this that have no idea what's coming I think

Just the plot...It might not have the same lessons a general audience are thinking about

They’re not adapting the Leto II books into movies.

It would be interesting if those books became turned into miniseries

Herbert was very open about writing Messiah in part because people didn’t get the theme of Dune, they thought it’s an adventure book.

“No more terrible disaster could befall your people than for them to fall into the hands of a Hero.”

I can't wait, I'm a fan of weirdness in storytelling. China Mieville Bas Lag books are a perfect example of Weirdness that I love
