Director Denis Villeneuve’s first two Don Movies adapt the first novel in the series, and Dunn: Three parts News confirms that he will adopt the second, Dunn: Christ. Although there are more than two dozen books that comprise the Don franchise, only the first six were written by original author Frank Herbert. The first two novels center on the character of Paul Atreides (Timothee Chalamet), also the crux of Villeneuve’s story.
The Don The story has been adapted in movie and miniseries forms in the past, but Villeneuve’s approach turned the hippy sci-fi/fantasy series into a bona fide Hollywood blockbuster. Dunn: Part TwoThe impressive box office performance not only validates Villeneuve’s vision for the franchise, but also makes another film an absolute necessity. Dunn: Three parts Could be a fitting cap to the trilogy as it would allow the Paul Atreides storyline to run without running afoul of the stranger aspects of the Don Book series found in later installments.
