According to imdb.com, in the month of March 2018, director Denis Villeneuve had confirmed that his adaptation Dune would be split into two films since he wanted to capture all the intricate details of the book which would have been impossible with just a single movie. As a big fan of the novel itself, he had always wanted to adapt it into a movie. He directed two other SciFi movies before Dune, to efficiently learn the art of making an adventure SciFi.
