Denis Villeneuve Is Already Plotting a Third Dune Movie
Denis Villeneuve has just released his new movie Dune and gotten the greenlight for the sequel, but the French-Canadian director already has some spice-y ideas to make it a trilogy. As he told The Hollywood Reporter, he hopes to base the third flick on Frank Herbert’s Dune Messiah. “If things go well with Part Two, I could foresee the idea of maybe doing a third movie, Dune Messiah,” he said. “That would make sense to me.” The 1969 Messiah is set 12 years after 1965’s Dune. Without delving too far into spoilers — but still, minor spoilers to follow — it finds Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet in the films) struggling with the intersection of religion and bureaucracy, focused on his family and trying to reject his own deification.

Zendaya’s Sheer Nensi Dojaka Dress Marks a Sexy New Era For the Star’s Personal Style
Zendaya‘s name is synonymous with young Hollywood elegance, and her red carpet style has become notably sexier during the Dune press circuit. Following a futuristic Rick Owens gown at the Dune premiere in London, Zendaya wore emerging designer Nensi Dojaka to the afterparty at Chiltern Firehouse. Zendaya’s spaghetti-strap cut-out dress is a custom design from Nensi Dojaka’s spring/summer 2022 collection. It features sheer burgundy and mocha silk attached with contrasting black seams, and a fuchsia heart-shaped seam on the bodice. Stylist Law Roach paired the dress with stacked diamond rings and bracelets from Bulgari’s Serpenti collection, and Christian Louboutin So Kate pointed-toe pumps in the shade Safki. Emerging London-based Albanian designer Nensi Dojaka is a ...
NYFF Review: Denis Villeneuve’s Dune Is Spectacular — And Spectacularly Underwhelming
This review is part of our coverage of the 2021 New York Film Festival. The Pitch: Frank Herbert’s seminal sci-fi novel Dune gets its second big-screen treatment. The first was a notorious misfire directed by David Lynch, who famously disowned the final film; the newer version is from Denis Villeneuve, who has experience with sci-fi both emotionally intimate (Arrival) and storied in its nerdy history (Blade Runner 2049). Though the politics and world-building of the Dune world can seem obtuse — the names alone present a challenge for the less sci-fi-inclined — its story will also have a familiar ring for anyone who’s absorbed a few of the many works the novel influenced.

Zendaya’s Vivacious Alaïa Co-ord Is the Definition of Understanding the Assignment
Zendaya has entered a new, glamorous era of her red carpet style. Starting her series of iconic looks at Venice Film Festival in a leather Balmain wet-look dress, the star took our breath away yet again in a decadent aubergine coordinated set from Alaïa’s winter/spring 2022 collection for the premiere of Dune. According to Alaïa, “She is wearing a bolero and mermaid perforated knitted skirt in aubergine from Pieter Mulier’s first collection for the house.” And what an incredible start to Mulier’s first collection for the legendary house, of which we believe that founding designer Azzedine Alaïa would be proud. Zendaya‘s trailblazing stylist Law Roach also commented on his client and dear friend’s spectacular look, sharing with fans that Zendaya is ...
The Spice Must Flow: New ‘Dune’ Trailer Features Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet & More
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Warner Bros. / WB Dune is perhaps the great science fiction novel of all time but has yet to get a proper live-action adaptation despite two major attempts. A new trailer for the upcoming film reveals more details and looks to be one of the most highly anticipated films of the year. The latest trailer for Dune features Timothée Chalamet, who plays the reluctant messiah to the Fremen, Paul Atreides aka Paul Muad’Dib. The clip also features Zendaya, who plays Chani, and her voice opens up the trailer as she explains how the proud desert-dwelling Fremen people of Arrakis, also known as Dune, have been invaded by ruling powers across the Imperium who wish to control melange or space, a powerful substance only found on the barren planet. The trailer also featu...

Denis Villeneuve’s Dune Gets Delayed Until Late 2021
Denis Villeneuve’s Dune practically broke the Internet last month when the epic first trailer was revealed. But now, that hype will have to stretch another year, as the sci-fi blockbuster has been delayed until October 1st, 2021, reports Collider. That’s a significantly later date than Warner Bros. originally planned, which suggests two things: executives’ hearts are set on a fourth quarter release, the pandemic isn’t loosening its grip anytime soon, or both. While a handful of North American movie theaters have been cautiously reopening in recent months, the latest increase in COVID-19 cases has caused many to shutter their doors once again. While Frank Herbert’s beloved novel and its historically troubled feature films never fared well at the box office, Villeneuve’s Dune adaption seems ...
Hans Zimmer Brings New Arrangement of Pink Floyd’s “Eclipse” to Dune Trailer
The stunning first trailer for Denis Villenueve’s Dune is out, and amid all the excitement — Sandworms! Stillsuits! Oscar Isaac’s beard! — you may have caught a familiar tune. Playing in the background is Pink Floyd‘s “Eclipse”, presented in an apocalyptic new arrangement by composer Hans Zimmer. “Eclipse” is the final track from the classic album Dark Side of the Moon. In some ways, its appearance here is the closing of a circle. In the 1970s, experimental filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky sought to use Pink Floyd’s music for his own adaptation of Dune. The attempt failed, but was later documented in the 2013 film Jodorowsky’s Dune. At last, one of the spaciest rock bands in history has been joined with Frank Herbert’s sci-fi epic. Zimmer’s arrangement differs from the origina...
Denis Villeneuve’s Dune Gets Epic First Trailer: Watch
At long last, we have our first real look at the world of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune. After much teasing and deliberation, Warner Bros. has let loose the first trailer for its star-studded epic in anticipation of its December 18th release. The trailer came packaged with a first look featuring the cast and crew that was hosted by uber fan Stephen Colbert. As you’ll see, Villeneuve has done his homework. The imagination within Frank Herbert’s iconic 1965 novel is on full display, and it appears the filmmaker may even surpass the creative heights he reached with 2017’s Blade Runner 2049. Everyone looks spectacular too, particularly Timothée Chalamet as Prince Paul Atreides. Villeneuve isn’t one to waste his star power, and it’s clear even now that this A-list cast will certainly add vivid s...
The 25 Most Anticipated Movies of Fall 2020
“New year, new decade, new films, right?” That was January, back when we were still looking ahead at 2020 with blind optimism and ill-fated excitement. Sigh, hindsight is 20/20 they say, right? Who knew. At the time, we had 50 exciting new titles we were anticipating, most of which have since been either postponed, dumped to VOD, or relegated to a limbo state. It’s been an unnerving year for the film industry, to say the least. A year fraught with shutdowns, furloughs, layoffs, bankruptcies, and re-evaluations. All of that change has prompted a seismic shift in how everything’s run across the media landscape, and no one truly has a grip on things just yet. Odds are they won’t for quite some time. Because of this, anticipating anything right now — let alone anything in pop culture — seems l...
