Javier Bardem Teases Dune Part Three Goes Beyond the Messiah Novel
Javier Bardem, returning as Stilgar, says Dune: Part Three goes further than Frank Herbert's novel Dune: Messiah, calling it a masterpiece.
Bardem indicates he has not seen a finished cut but says director Denis Villeneuve wants to push farther from the prior film, similar to how Part Two departed from Part One.
Reports suggest the movie may fold in elements of the third novel Children of Dune, possibly through a vision, and casting supports this since Nakoa-Wolf Momoa and Ida Brooke play Paul's children Leto II and Ghanima, who only appear as infants in Messiah.
The film is described as darker and weirder than its predecessors, with runtime talk placing it above three hours.
Dune: Part Three stars Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya, Jason Momoa, Florence Pugh, Robert Pattinson, and Anya Taylor-Joy, and opens December 18.
