As i think about it a bit, I think Messiah can translate to a movie pretty well and you can insert your time jump there pretty easily.
It's a shorter book as well, there'd be plenty of run time to explain Alia.
If done right, Messiah can close the series extremely well and provide a very nice resolution to some of the things that bugged people about the 2nd movie.
And if someone wanted to pick up the Leto stuff later on...whatever. It can be a stand-alone trilogy of sorts. But it's not at all necessary and probably wouldn't be terribly successful.
