Dune: Part Two director Denis Villeneuve has revealed that he has quite a few projects on the table, including a time-sensitive secret one.
While speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Villeneuve was asked about if he’s waiting for the cast of Dune to age up a bit before filming the third movie in the series. The director explained that it’s more about taking a break and having the right screenplay, though he also has four projects on the table. Of those four, one of them is “a secret” one that is somewhat time-sensitive.
“I have four projects on the table, currently,” the filmmaker explained. “One of them is a secret project that I cannot talk about right now, but that needs to see the light of day quite quickly. So it would be a good idea to do something in between projects, before tackling Dune Messiah and Cleopatra. All these projects are still being written, so we’ll see where they go, but I have no control over that.”
