The director of the sci-fi film “Dune 2” Denis Villeneuve has warned that the ending of his film adaptation will be “more tragic” than the ending of Frank Herbert’s literary source material.
However, it is unclear whether the ending of “Dune 2” is more tragic because Denis Villeneuve himself considers it so, or whether he has substantially reworked the source material by changing the stories of the main characters. “I think the film adaptation is more tragic than the book. The way the second part ends creates a more complete balance in the development of Paul’s storyline, well, in what we could tell in the movie Dune: Messiah,” the director shared, declining to elaborate on the details.

He has repeatedly noted that he would also shoot a third “Dune” film if necessary, although he emphasized that the second part would tell the “complete” story of the characters, in which there would be “heartbreaking events.”
