22 Years Later, 'Dune Part 3' Has the Chance to Do Something That Hasn't Been Done Since Lord of the Rings

The hype behind Dune: Part Three may be extreme, but it also happens to be warranted. Director Denis Villeneuve focused all his powers of filmmaking and became the Kwisatz Haderach of cinema with his sci-fi films. Both Dune: Part One and Part Two fire on all cylinders, and in 2026, the final entry of the franchise is looking to do the same. This could mean that Part Three might do the impossible and clinch the sought-after award that even Paul Thomas Andersondidn’t get until this year.
