Breaking Baz: Denis Villeneuve Reveals He Will Go Back Behind Camera “Faster Than I Think” To Make Third ‘Dune’ Movie


Denis Villeneuve reveals to Deadline's Baz Bamigboye that he will go back behind the camera “Faster Than I Think” to make the third ‘Dune’ Universe movie.

Villeneuve says the central players returning for Dune: Messiah are Timothée Chalamet as Atreides; Zendaya as the Fremen tribal warrior Chani, who tries to guide him; and Florence Pugh and Anya Taylor-Joy. In between his “break’ and making preparations for Dune: Messiah, Villeneuve is keeping track of several other possible future projects that includes the long-gestating Cleopatra movie based on Stacy Schiff’s bestselling 2010 biography of Egyptian queen. The movie originally was released back in February, and Villeneuve recently has been crisscrossing Europe and the U.S. reminding awards-season voters that Dune: Part Two is a serious contender in a race with several great pictures but, as yet, no clear front-runner.
