Honestly, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't read the sequels. Dune, Messiah, and Children of Dune are phenomenal. The first two moreso. It gets real weird after that, and I don't mean that lightly. Chapterhouse brings it back around a bit though. Kinda. I'm actually glad they're stopping after the Dune Messiah movie. Don't know how they'd make God Emperor interesting or if I'd even want to watch it.
I honestly think God Emperor is the best one in the series. But it’s completely different from the rest, and only works because of what comes before.
I don’t particularly like Children. But there is not God Emperor without Children of Dune.
There's plans for a Dune Messiah movie?
The director recently said that should the 3rd one get greenlit it will be his last. So it's not confirmed but its been pretty successful so far.
I really hope we get a third one. I'm a big enough fan that I would happily see the full series in movie form, but I get why they would stop at 2 or 3.
Honestly, I'm just incredibly happy that we got one good movie out of it. Even if it stopped there I'd've been happy.
I'd have been a little upset considering the first movie ended half way through the 1st book. Lol
True, but even that much was way more than I thought I'd see in my lifetime. Definitely happy we're getting the second part, though!
