by

Fans of Dune are in for more content from the series, though it may not be exactly what they anticipated.

Simon & Schuster has announced a new art book, The Art and Soul of Dune: Part Three, which will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the third Dune film directed by Denis Villeneuve. The book is set to be released on December 22nd, just four days after the movie hits theaters.

What Fans Can Expect from The Art and Soul of Dune: Part Three

Written by Stefanie Broos and Tanya Lapointe, who produced the Dune trilogy, The Art and Soul of Dune: Part Three offers a behind-the-scenes look at the film’s creation. The book features exclusive photos and extras, and the authors share their experiences making Dune: Part Three.

Simon & Schuster’s description of The Art and Soul of Dune: Part Three highlights how Broos and Lapointe detail their work with director Denis Villeneuve and offer a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the Dune trilogy. With exclusive interviews and insights from the cast and crew, the book is perfect for both movie lovers and fans of Frank Herbert’s Dune novels.

The retail price for The Art and Soul of Dune: Part Three is $65.00. However, pre-orders aren’t available yet, so fans will need to watch for updates on when they can purchase a copy.

Why Dune: Part Three Will Be So Different from Its Predecessors

Director Denis Villeneuve revealed that the upcoming Dune: Part Three will differ from its predecessors not only in its setting, but also in its mood, leaning more into the thriller genre. He explained that the positive reception to Part One and Part Two has influenced his vision for the next film. Part Three will jump forward in time and explore the repercussions of Paul Atreides’ reign and the holy war he initiates.

I kept thinking about what a third Dune movie, based on Dune Messiah, could be, and finally decided to make it happen,” Villeneuve explained. He also described Dune: Part Three as a significantly different film from the first two, with a unique atmosphere, flow, and speed.

Fans are really looking forward to Dune: Part Three, and other movie studios are feeling the pressure as its release date approaches. In fact, Marvel Studios is reportedly moving up the release of The Marvels, originally scheduled for December 18th, to December 11th. This is likely to avoid competing directly with Dune: Part Three for audiences during their opening weekend.

The book The Art and Soul of Dune: Part Three will be available in stores on December 22nd. The movie Dune: Part Three hits theaters on December 18th. You can purchase tickets online.
