  Director wasn’t sure if he even wanted to continue with it. The end of the 2nd film is caught up to the end of the first book. So now we will be entering book 2 territory. The story gets quite weird from here on out.

    Do you think they play out book two or breeze through it to get into book three?

      I thought the plan was to end it at book 2 so it’s just Paul’s story

      I would assume they breeze through. There is no way they think they’ll be able to follow the whole story from beginning to end. I absolutely love these movies, but i think most people would get tired after a while.

  Might as well take their time since there’s like a 12 year time skip in the books.

    Yeah, I like Chalamet but he’s definitely not old enough to play a Space Hitler

      I’ve always thought the space Hitler thing was a pretty big misunderstanding or generalization of Paul’s character. Hitler couldn’t see the result of all outcomes and pick the least bad outcome in the same way. Paul could literally see the future and decided his path would result in the least amount of suffering. No human has ever been forced to experience that burden. I think he’s a fascinating character and the oversimplifications irk me a bit.

        I’m not sure if you’re saying paul is better or worse then Hitler…

        Anyway, I agree that it’s a bit of a oversimplification, but keep in mind that the original source for this comparison is Paul (/rather his author) himself.

  I think Villeneuve has been working on some screenplays, including Rendezvous with Rama, which is going to be sick. His screenplays are always 11/10 and are in part responsible for his incredible movies.
