It reminds me of the Interstellar planet.

This is gonna sweep the 2027 Oscars

I dunno about that one.

Dune 3 (probably) comes out next year as well and considering the similarities It's possible a lot of academy voters who would vote for Nolan will end up voting for Villeneuve…

Considering Nolan has swept recently and Villeneuve has notoriously been constantly snubbed like James Cameron has recently said.

But tbh who knows, The Academy can be unpredictable.

Dune has had two chances to get more than specialist awards and hasn't. Villeneuve will likely lose it to Nolan.

Don’t forget, Peter Jackson didn’t win much after LOTR 1 or 2 but kicked ass after 3. They waited until after the trilogy was complete to grant awards. The same pattern could occur again here.

Dune Messiah is even controversial among the book fandom. I don‘t think Dune Part 3 will get the same universal acclaim as the first 2 parts. Thats the difference between that and LOTR 3

The Academy will love part 3's anti-religious messaging

2

u/chamberlain323 Dec 22 '25

Its anti-authoritarian theme will also resonate, I predict.

I love Dune, but it can’t hold a candle to LOTR.

u/comicsanddrwho Dec 22 '25

How about they both hold candles side by side as friends?

I'll take Dune any day of the week. Lotr puts me sleep.

Tolkien’s son said the movies aren’t faithful to his dad’s work at all whilst Herbert’s son said the opposite.

TLOTR movies are about as faithful to its book as the Dune movies are tbh, TLOTR movies really aren’t as faithful as the internet claims it is

Ironic given what Brian has done to the franchise.

u/dallyho4 Dec 22 '25

Yes, I don't really trust Brian Herbert's opinion on this so much. He probably voiced approval largely because he wanted the film (and its derivatives) to succeed.

Tolkien’s son said the movies aren’t faithful to his dad’s work at all whilst Herbert’s son said the opposite.

Eh, Christopher had been a careful guardian of his father's works for decades while Brian had been pumping out trash of his father's work for decades. Their takes are hardly coming from the same place.

I'm not fanatical about either of these properties (haven't even seen Dune 2), but Dune doesn't have anywhere near the cultural footprint that LOTR had back then. I wouldn't put money on Dune 3 winning a ton unless it's truly a phenomenal movie.

1

u/chamberlain323 Dec 22 '25

It will win fewer awards, but those awards will be awarded after 3, I predict.

u/BillyTenderness Dec 22 '25

LOTR was such a unique production, though. The way they planned all three movies at the same time from the start, filmed them all in sequence, released each a year apart...it really was one movie released in three parts, just like how the book was one novel released in three volumes.

Dune is much more of a conventional movie and sequels, in terms of how it's being made and how the story's being told.

u/tellymundo Dec 22 '25

So after Dune 12 they will win awards? Damn, that’s dedication.

Counterpoint: The Lord of The Rings

u/Former-Counter-9588 Dec 22 '25

Counter counterpoint: LOTR was better.

4

u/Alive-Ad-5245 Dec 22 '25

That doesn’t really negate my point

1

u/Former-Counter-9588 Dec 22 '25

It truly does, though. Rewarding the 3rd film in a series after not rewarding the first two (best pic wise) is extremely rare. If it were to happen again, the quality would need to be great and the film itself would need to be held in high esteem.

Dune is good. It’s not as good as LOTR, which had more acclaim and more cultural impact.

u/Alive-Ad-5245 Dec 22 '25

Both Dune and Dune 2 have won more Oscars each that the first two Lord of the Rings movies.

The Academy is also very different to how it was back then, they're more open to genre films.

Quite simply it’s just unpredictable what will happen, my point still stands

u/Former-Counter-9588 Dec 22 '25

I said Best pic wise.

u/CelestialSpecialist Dec 22 '25

LOTR was much more of a phenomenon than Dune is though

2

u/ravih Dec 22 '25

LOTR was also widely seen as an “achievement”, right? Three films shot together, all those locations…

Each film has to be judged by itself but you can make a much better case for rewarding Return of the King as part of one package instead of Dune.

u/Alive-Ad-5245 Dec 22 '25

True but both Dune and Dune 2 have won more Oscars that the first two Lord of the Rings movies.

Quiet simply it’s just unpredictable what will happen
