Dune Director Lays Out Exactly What Makes Part Three Such A Different Film

Posted on 09/07/2026 by Boris Clair

Filmmaker Denis Villeneuve has shared how the much-anticipated third instalment in the Dune franchise will differ from the previous two movies.

The third and final film in the sci-fi trilogy picks up almost two decades after Dune: Part Two, with Timotheé Chalamet’s Paul Atreides now a not-so-benevolent ruler of the known universe.

Speaking at a Q&A event on Wednesday, the Canadian director explained that he didn’t want to rest on his creative laurels after the success of the second Dune film, and as a result, Part Three is quite different.

“I said to myself, it’s a good idea to come back to this world, not by nostalgia but by urgency,” he explained. “And to go there with a critical eye and the idea not to be self-indulgent.”

The Oscar nominee – who is set to helm the next film in the James Bond franchise – continued: “I want us to bring the audience to new parts of Arrakis, and [offer] something that [feels] fresh and new.”

He also pointed that “people who know the book know that it’s a very different beast”, before laying out what audiences should expect from the new movie.

“It’s more of a thriller,” he teased. “It’s a more intense story. And it’s definitely more emotional as well.

“So, it will be the third and last Dune movie. It’s a Dune movie that is very different[ly] written and it’s much more intense, I must say.”

Timotheé Chalamet, who was also in attendance at the Q&A, agreed: “The approach was slightly different on this one. It wasn’t like, ‘OK, we found a formula and now we’re going to run it back’. This is a different movie.”

He added: “I think the first two are sort of siblings, and the third one is really its own energy, and I love that approach. I thought, ‘Wow, it’s familiar – this crew, this family – but there’s a new tone to this’.”

Denis and Timothée’s comments coincide with the release of an exciting new trailer for Dune: Part Three, also released on Wednesday, which promises to be the darkest instalment of the film series yet.

The trailer shows Timotheé’s Paul as he finds himself waging wars, facing his betrayed lover, Zendaya’s Chani, and coming face to face with a shapeshifting new character, played by Robert Pattinson.

Audiences also get a glimpse at Florence Pugh’s Princess Irulan and Jason Momoa’s Duncan Idaho, who has mysteriously – at least, to people who haven’t read the book – returned from the dead.

Dune: Chapter Three hits cinemas on Friday 18 December 2026. Watch the new trailer for yourself below:

Fans Defend Demi Moore After Awkward Golden Globes Moment With Kylie Jenner

Posted on 07/01/2025 by Boris Clair

Demi Moore’s daughter is not going to let the online gossip mill steal her mom’s shine.

On Sunday, after the Substance star won her first major acting award at the 82nd Golden Globes, footage began bubbling up on social media that ― according to some ― depicted Demi snubbing fellow guest Kylie Jenner at the ceremony.

In the video, which was originally posted on the Golden Globes’ official TikTok account, an elated Demi could be seen hugging actor Elle Fanning, who is sitting next to Kylie.

Demi began to talk excitedly with Elle, as Kylie looked on. At one point, Kylie appeared to congratulate Demi, which she briefly acknowledged before turning back to Elle to continue their conversation.

Following this, Demi noticed Kylie’s boyfriend, actor Timothée Chalamet, greeting him warmly and beginning talking to him, essentially passing Kylie over in the process.

Another video posted to X, formerly Twitter, shows the exchange between Timothée and Demi from a slightly different angle.

You can see the Kylie Cosmetics founder nervously playing with her hair and excitedly clutching her phone — perhaps in anticipation of getting a selfie with Demi — but eventually looking down in apparent defeat as the Ghost actor walks away.

Some social media users were outraged by the maybe-snub, while others delighted in it:

Timothée Chalamet is opening up about the attempted “Barbie” cameo that never made it to movie screens.

The “Wonka” actor, in an interview on “The Tonight Show,” said there was an idea for him and his “Lady Bird” co-star Saoirse Ronan to appear in the latest Greta Gerwig-directed film.

“I don’t know what the cameo would have been, I think I would have been one of the rejected Kens or Barbies,” Chalamet told Jimmy Fallon.

“Not Allan, but something — maybe there was a reject French one along the way,” he added, referring to the character played by Michael Cera.

Chalamet added that he got to see Gerwig and the “Barbie” set, which was built by the time that he finished filming for “Wonka.”
