Dune director Denis Villeneuve has revealed that he's hoping to make a trilogy supported on Frank Herbert's sci-fi epic.

"I always envisioned three movies," Villeneuve said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "IT's non that I want to doh a franchise, but this is Sand dune, and Dune is a huge story. In range to honor it, I think you would ask at least three movies. That would be the dream. To follow Paul Atreides and his gas-filled bow would exist nice."

He added, "[Straight-from-the-shoulder] Victor Herbert wrote six books, and the more He was writing, the more it was acquiring psychedelic, so I don't know how some of them could be altered. Unitary thing at a time. If I ever so have the chance to coif Dune: Part 2 and Sand dune Messiah, I'm blessed."

Dune Part 2 was recently habitual and Persona One has been a smash at the box office. Dune achieved the best initiatory weekend in the US for a day-and-date release from Warner Bros that debuted simultaneously in theaters and connected HBO Max.

The movie successful $40.1 million in the US during its opening weekend after opening on October 22. Worldwide, it made $87.5 million this weekend, bringing its current amount revenue to $220.7 million.
