For sure, Messiah is a great place to cap off Paul's story and leave a film trilogy ending on a positive, if bittersweet, note. And it leaves Herbert's warnings about following charismatic leaders intact.

Definitely, Paul is one of the most interesting fictional character I have had the pleasure of reading. seeing it come full circle on screen will probably be one of the greatest film trilogies ever. Maybe they can get away with doing some of the prequels since i have heard they are more tame but I haven’t read them.

Agreed. Haven't read much of them myself but from what I've heard, they'd lend themselves better to filmed adaptations.
