Director Denis Villeneuve of the movies ‘Dune’ and ‘Dune: Part Two’ has often expressed his desire to bring ‘Dune: Messiah’ to the big screen, but he may not be as eager to adapt the other books in Frank Herbert’s ‘Dune’ series. During an interview with Vanity Fair, Villeneuve mentioned that if ‘Dune: Messiah’ comes to fruition, he would be prepared to move on to a new project afterwards. While he doesn’t mind someone else continuing his work in the ‘Dune’ universe after him, Villeneuve noted that books beyond ‘Messiah’ can be challenging to adapt. He suggested planting seeds for future filmmakers within ‘Messiah’.

The movie “Dune: Part Two” was unquestionably one of the most significant films this year, effectively bringing Frank Herbert’s novel to life in some captivating and unanticipated ways. Certain aspects of the film’s plot, such as the glimpse into Alia Atredies’ (Anya Taylor-Joy) future, have paved the way for the franchise to grow even more. Although a third movie in the series, named “Dune: Messiah,” hasn’t been officially approved or scheduled by Warner Bros. Pictures, director Denis Villeneuve has expressed his intentions to adapt the new story. In a recent conversation with Vanity Fair, Villeneuve clarified that he doesn’t view the potential trilogy as a traditional one, given how distinct “Messiah” is from the events of the first book.

For years, fans of late author Anne Rice have eagerly awaited AMC’s Immortal Universe to breathe life onto their screens not only from her iconic “The Vampire Chronicles” in series like “Interview With the Vampire” and “Mayfair Witches,” but also from her “The Lives of the Mayfair Witches” trilogy. AMC, holding rights to 18 of Rice’s works, has expressed a desire to fully delve into the intricate and cherished universe she created. This year, they made good on their promise with the announcement of a third series based on her work, “The Talamasca.” This series centers around an enigmatic organization that monitors, investigates, and tracks the supernatural, marking it as the first in AMC’s Immortal Universe not derived from a book series or even a novel. Instead, “The Talamasca” seems to be venturing into largely unexplored, original territory, needing to maintain its uniqueness as it builds upon Rice’s small-screen legacy.
