The 78th Venice Film Festival kicks off tomorrow with one of its strongest line-ups in recent memory. And among the films taking their world premiere bows is Denis Villeneuve’s long-gestating adaptation of Frank Herbert’s 1965 sci-fi classic Dune.

Anyone that has read Frank Herbert’s “Dune” knows just how difficult it can be to get through. For every person that absolutely adores the sci-fi classic, there are probably dozens that started it and never finished because of just how dense the prose can be at times.

We are mere weeks away from the release of Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic, “Dune.” But this is definitely not the only time that a filmmaker has tried to adapt Frank Herbert’s classic novel into a film or TV series. Back in 2000, Syfy attempted to adapt “Dune” as a limited series, and while the story seemed to cover all the bases, the budget limitations ultimately hurt the finished product.

“Dune” director Denis Villeneuve is starting to do various press for the upcoming film and was eventually asked about the Scarlett Johansson/Disney lawsuit by the French-Canadian outlet La Presse.

Other than film festival audiences, “Dune” won’t be seen by most audiences until October. Still, director Denis Villeneuve is already preparing fans for his plans to move forward with a franchise.

Dune, has said that he was “blown away” when he saw the film, and described it as “a cinematic masterpiece.”Brolin, who plays the ally Gurney Halleck in the film, also likened the film to another that he starred in, the Coen Brothers’ No Country For Old Men.“You don’t know until you see it how great it’s going to be,” he told ACE Universe.In spite of calling the film, which also stars Oscar Isaac, Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya and Jason Momoa, “by far, the toughest thing I’ve done,” director Denis

“Dune” is yet to be released, but director Denis Villeneuve said part 2 could be on its way fairly soon.

Legendary is looking to give audiences an extremely ambitious space opera epic with Denis Villeneuve‘s “Dune” the Frank Herbert novel is considered to be “Lord of The Rings” of the sci-fi fantasy genre. With that in mind, they keep hinting that this will become a franchise and new comments seems to reinforce those plans.

Dave Bautista is getting a bit of spotlight outside of his MCU projects with Zack Snyder‘s “Army of The Dead” being a big hit for Netflix leading to a sequel being announced and will be seen as one of the main villains in Denis Villeneuve‘s “Dune” when the film hits theaters/HBO Max on October 22.

As was reported recently, it appears MGM is stuck in a position where the studio will likely be forced to release “No Time to Die” in theaters this October due to the increased costs of postponing the film even further. Obviously, this is a unique time in the history of theatrical distribution and COVID potentially throwing a wrench into the James Bond film strategy is just one of the questions facing the producers of the franchise.

The upcoming movie Dune is expected to hit theaters and HBO Max on October 22, and director Denis Villeneuve is revealing info about the sequel.

The sci-fi epic “Dune” won’t be released to the public until October 22 in theaters and HBO Max, but there is already development on the script for “Dune: Part Two.” Legendary and director Denis Villeneuve (“Arrival,” “Blade Runner 2049“) decided early on to split the original novel from Frank Herbert into two movies, telling one single story.

Legendary‘s upcoming film “Dune” is only part one of a two-part story, as the screenwriters and director Denis Villeneuve purposefully split the first novel from author Frank Herbert into two feature films. We have to assume the reasoning is to make it more palatable to audiences after David Lynch‘s 1984 version and the Sci-Fi series told the same story before but radically different ways concerning run times.
