Anya Taylor-Joy will be seen on screen in Dune: Part 2, in a surprise casting revealed the day of the film’s London world premiere, Deadline has confirmed.

She joins a list of newcomers that includes Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Léa Seydoux, Souheila Yacoub, Christopher Walken and Tim Blake Nelson. Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya lead the sequel, with Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Dave Bautista, Javier Bardem Stellan Skarsgård and Charlotte Rampling also returning.

Details as to Taylor-Joy’s role are under wraps. Dune: Part Two is the second in a line of blockbusters, based on Frank Herbert’s epic sci-fi novel, that Denis Villeneuve has directed for Warner Bros and Legendary Entertainment. The first, released in the fall of 2021, landed six Oscars and grossed over $402Mm worldwide.

The new film picks up with Paul Atreides (Chalamet) as he unites with Chani (Zendaya) and the Fremen while seeking revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family.

We’re just weeks away from the March 1st theatrical release of Dune: Part Two, the second half of director Denis Villeneuve’s two-part adaptation of the Frank Herbert novel Dune… and the whole time we’ve been gearing up to see this movie, one element of it that has been getting a lot of hype is the presence of sandworms. Cast member Javier Bardem said he wanted to ride a sandworm in the film, the actors said the production included “a main unit, a second unit, and a sandworm unit“, and there are tie-in popcorn buckets designed to look like sandworms. Now an extended sneak preview has made its way online, and it features a clip from the film where our hero Paul Atreides learns to ride a sandworm!

We’re only a month away from the March 1st theatrical release of Dune: Part Two, the second half of director Denis Villeneuve’s two-part adaptation of the Frank Herbert novel Dune. The film’s cast includes returning Dune: Part One cast members Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Charlotte Rampling, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and Josh Brolin, as well as some intriguing new additions – like Florence Pugh, who takes on the role of Princess Irulan. Pugh and Irulan are the focus of a new Dune: Part Two promo that has arrived on social media, and you can watch it in the X embed at the bottom of this article.

Dune: Part Two, the second half of director Denis Villeneuve’s two-part adaptation of the Frank Herbert novel Dune, is now scheduled to be released on March 1st – but there are five more Herbert Dune novels that could serve as the basis for future films, and Villeneuve and his Dune stars Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya have all expressed interest in continuing the franchise. In an interview with Total Film magazine, Villeneuve said the ending of Dune: Part Two will set up the events of a third Dune film… if they get the chance to make it. He told Total Film, “All of the elements are there. But I think the movie adaptation is more tragic than the book. The way that Part Two ends… it would create a total balance and equilibrium to finish Paul’s storyline in what we could say in Part Three.“

Chalamet told Total Film, “The idea excites me very much.

It’s been a longer wait than expected (the movie was once set to reach theatres last November), but Dune: Part Two, the second half of director Denis Villeneuve’s two-part adaptation of the Frank Herbert novel Dune, is now scheduled to be released on March 1st – and with that date just over one month away, the main theatrical poster has been unveiled.

A spicy rumor about the Dune film franchise is rising from the sands of Arrakis. Industry insider Daniel Richtman said that Warner Bros had signed Timothée Chalamet for Dune 3. While this is not a confirmation of production plans for another movie in Denis Villeneuve’s presentation of Dune, it’s not the first time we’ve heard rumblings that a third film is a possibility.

Previously, Dune writer Jon Spaihts confirmed a third film could happen. “There are a few tantalizing strands that lead into the future and suggest that we might not be done in this universe, despite the fact that the ending of ‘Dune’ as a novel, which will be the ending of the second film, is a very satisfying conclusion,” Spaihts told The Playlist early last year. “There are a number of ways in which the book also sounds ominous notes, and there are hints of foreboding...

A trailer for Dune: Part Two, the second half of director Denis Villeneuve’s two-part adaptation of the Frank Herbert novel Dune, arrived online less than two months ago – and even though we’re still four months away from the film’s November 3rd theatrical release date, another trailer for the film has now been unveiled, and you can check it out in the embed above!

Dune: Part Two, the second half of director Denis Villeneuve’s two-part adaptation of the Frank Herbert novel Dune, has a release date of November 3rd – and returning Dune: Part One stars Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya participated in the Warner Bros. presentation at CineEurope in Barcelona to promote the upcoming film. During the presentation, they talked about the fight scenes and sandworms that will be seen in this half of the story.

Deadline reported that Chalamet, who plays Paul Atreides, “a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding”, said his character “is trying to redeem the House of Atreides” in Dune: Part Two. “In Part One, he was a student. In Part Two, he’s thrown into the Fremen culture and the terrors of the desert.“

Zendaya said that her character Chani and Chalamet’s Paul have “a beautiful love story; there’s a...

Dune: Part Two, the second half of director Denis Villeneuve’s two-part adaptation of the Frank Herbert novel Dune, has a release date of November 3rd – and in this build-up to the film’s release, we’ve previously only heard that Villeneuve wrote the screenplay with Jon Spaihts, who he also collaborated with on the script for Dune: Part One. (Their Part One co-writer Eric Roth decided not to work on the follow-up.) Now, The Last of Us showrunner Craig Mazin has revealed that he was also a “participating writer” on Dune: Part Two!

Speaking with The Playlist, Mazin said that he’s basically out of the movie business, because he’s focusing on The Last of Us and his other TV work. But “I will work with certain directors when they call because I love them and because they’re so brilliant. So if, like, Denis Villeneuve calls, then absolutely.

Update:

Shortly after releasing a new Dune: Part Two poster, Warner Bros. dropped a spicy Dune: Part Two teaser to hype tomorrow’s trailer debut. The teaser shows multiple characters from the sequel, including Florence Pugh’s Princess Irulan Corrino and Austin Butler’s Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen.

Original Article:

Ahead of this year’s May the 4th Star Wars celebration, Warner Bros. is coming in hot with new promotional material for Dune: Part Two. The studio debuted a new one-sheet for the highly-anticipated sequel on Tuesday ahead of tomorrow’s official trailer drop. In the Dune: Part Two poster, Timothée Chalamet, and Zendaya prepare for battle in a desolate desert. With blades at the ready, Paul Atreides (Chalamet) and Chani (Zendaya) could change the outcome of an ongoing war for the future.

Promotional material for Dune: Part Two has been scarce in the lead-up to tomorrow’s trailer. Vanity Fair recently...

The Warner Bros CinemaCon panel is bringing something spicy for today’s anticipated presentation. The sequel to Denis Villeneuve’s Dune debuts in theaters on November 3, 2023, but press members and attendees of this week’s show are getting a preview of Dune: Part Two before previews hit online.

During the presentation for Dune: Part Two, it was revealed the sequel was shot entirely for IMAX, making it the ultimate theater experience. At the top of the presentation, Villeneuve, Timothée Chalamet, and Zendaya took the stage. Villeneuve teased the film picks up exactly where 2021’s Dune left off. As Chalamet says, in the first movie, Paul is a student, but in this one, he becomes a leader and redeemer of the Freman. The story also digs deeply into the growing love between Paul and Chani, and Zendays says this was huge for her as, in the first film, her involvement was pretty limited.

Dune: Part Two is coming into focus, with filmmaker Denis Villeneuve and stars Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya showing off a new trailer for the Warner Bros. and Legendary sequel at CinemaCon Tuesday.

“Part One is more of a contemplative movie. Part Two is an action-packed, epic, war movie. It is much more dense. We went to all new locations,” said Villeneuve. “I didn’t want a feeling of repititon. It’s all new sets. Everyting is new.”

He also said that while 40 percent of the first film was shot in Imax, 100 percent of this film was shot in Imax.

“In the first movie, Paul is a student,” said Chalamet of his character, Paul Atreides. “We really see Paul Atrides become a leader … become a redeemer of the Fremen people in a sense.”

The epic continues the adaptation of Frank Herbert’s acclaimed bestseller Dune, with returning stars like Chalamet (Paul...

Dune: Part Two, the second half of director Denis Villeneuve’s two-part adaptation of the Frank Herbert novel Dune, which has a release date of November 3, 2023 – and when fans have the chance to see the movie, cast member Rebecca Ferguson says they’ll be seeing a film that’s even better than its predecessor.

Ferguson gave her opinion on Dune: Part Two during an interview on Jake’s Takes, even though she hasn’t actually seen the movie herself yet. Interviewer Jake Hamilton listed Villeneuve’s first Dune as his #1 film of 2021, and asked Ferguson to tell him that the follow-up is awesome. She did just that, saying, “I’m gonna say, Part Two is better than Part One. And that’s me without seeing it, that is me saying it based on what I’ve read, what I’ve seen, what I’ve filmed. I think it’s gonna be better.

George A. Romero is a name that is synonymous with the horror genre, and for good reason. His films, particularly his “Living Dead” series, have become icons of the genre and have influenced countless filmmakers. However, one of Romero’s lesser-known films, Martin, is just as worthy of recognition and analysis as his more famous works.

Martin tells the story of the titular character, played by John Amplas, who thinks – despite evidence to the contrary – he’s a vampire. Martin lives with his elderly cousin, Cuda (Lincoln Maazel), who buys into Martin’s belief that he is a cursed vampire and treats him accordingly. However, unlike the vampires of folklore and fiction, Martin does not possess any supernatural abilities. He must drug his victims...

When director Denis Villeneuve contacted Oscar-nominated costume designer Jacqueline West about creating the costumes for Dune: Part One, she initially turned him down. Speaking at a masterclass for Qatar’s Doha Film Institute, West told the audience (as reported by Deadline), “I said, ‘I don’t do sci-fi. It’s not my thing.’ I said no. He hired someone else, and I guess he wasn’t happy because he called my agent a second time and said, ‘Can I just talk to her.’ Mary Parent, who produced The Revenant and was producing Dune, got me in her office and put me on FaceTime with him on a big screen. He was so compelling. He said, ‘I want you because I do not want it to look like sci-fi. I want it to be classical. I don’t want it to look like a video game.’” Her time on Dune: Part One went so well,...

George A. Romero‘s 1977 horror movie Martin, centered on a man who believes he’s a vampire, is getting a 4K Ultra HD upgrade from Second Sight Films, and today we’ve learned that the wait is going to be a little bit longer than expected. Due to “an unforeseen printing issue,” the new release will be available on March 27, 2023, rather than February 27, 2023.

You can pre-order Martin on Blu-ray, Standard 4K Ultra HD and Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD from Second Sight’s website right now, all featuring the new restoration overseen by Director of Photography Michael Gornick. The Limited Edition offering includes a new feature-length doc, commentaries and more, plus a 108-page book, Ost CD and art cards.

Dune: Part Two, the second half of director Denis Villeneuve‘s two-part adaptation of the Frank Herbert novel Dune, has wrapped filming, but isn’t set to reach theatres for another nine months – to be exact, it has a release date of November 3, 2023. Speaking with Collider, cast member Dave Bautista promised that this one will be worth the wait, and it is much more amped up and intense than its predecessor.

Bautista said, “This is so amped up from the first film. The first film was just an introduction to what this film is. There’s just so much going on, it’s so much more cutthroat and political and intense. And there are moments of levity where [there are] some funny moments, and they’re kind of absurd humor, but there are those moments. So it’s just so much more amped up than the first film.“

Shifting to speaking specifically about his own character,...

When Alejandro Jodorowsky was developing his unmade adaptation of the Frank Herbert novel Dune, he planned to cast Mick Jagger as the character Feyd-Rautha. When David Lynch brought his version of Dune to the screen in 1984, Feyd-Rautha was played by Sting. And in Dune: Part Two, the second half of director Denis Villeneuve‘s two-part adaptation of Dune (which is set to reach theatres on November 3, 2023), the character is played by Elvis star Austin Butler, who just received an Oscar nomination for his performance as Elvis Presley. Filmmakers really like to link Feyd-Rautha with famous musicians, either directly or with a small degree of separation. Butler has previously said that he trained with a Navy Seal to prepare for the role in Dune: Part Two, and in a new interview he has said that he “had a blast” working on the film.

Speaking with Deadline, Butler said he was “a...

Tim Blake Nelson has joined the cast of “Dune: Part Two,” the follow-up to 2021’s Oscar-winning sci-fi epic, according to an individual with knowledge of the project.

Details about Nelson’s role are being kept under wraps.

Denis Villeneuve will return to adapt the second half of Frank Herbert’s novel for the Legendary and Warner Bros. film, with Jon Spaihts returning to co-write the screenplay.

Other newcomers to the cast include Florence Pugh, who will play the Emperor’s daughter Princess Irulan, Austin Butler as House Harkonnen member Feyd-Rautha, Christopher Walken as the devious Emperor Shaddam IV, and Léa Seydoux as Lady Margot.

“Dune” won six Oscars during the 2022 ceremony, and brought Best Picture, Directing and Adapted Screenplay nominations for Villeneuve. With a global box office total of 400 million, it is also Villeneuve’s highest grossing film.

Dune: Part Two, the second half of director Denis Villeneuve‘s two-part adaptation of the Frank Herbert novel Dune (which is set to reach theatres on November 3, 2023), started filming back in July. And after five months of filming in locations including Budapest, Abu Dhabi, Jordan, and Italy, production has officially wrapped. As reported by Variety, star Timothée Chalamet celebrated the end of production by taking to social media and sharing a picture of himself and his father in one of the film’s desert locations.

Many have already come to the realization that Florence Pugh and Zendaya are incredible performers – in fact, Zendaya recently won an Emmy for her performance in the HBO series Euphoria, and Pugh received an Academy Award nomination for her performance in the 2019 version of Little Women. Now Timothée Chalamet is hyping up their roles in the upcoming Dune: Part Two, the second half of director Denis Villeneuve‘s two-part adaptation of the Frank Herbert novel Dune by describing them both as, yes, incredible.

Chalamet told Variety, “Florence is really special. She’s an incredible actor. She was incredible in (Dune: Part Two) — seriously incredible. She brought a gravitas to the role. And I can’t believe my good fortune at this young age…between (acting with) Taylor Russell in Bones and All and Zendaya in Dune. And Austin Butler’s in (the Dune sequel) too.“

In the ’70s, George A. Romero and his producing partner Richard P. Rubinstein formed the company Laurel Entertainment, and one TV show that came out of Laurel during Romero and Rubinstein’s years of working together was Tales from the Darkside, an anthology that mixed science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Earlier this year, we looked back at Tales from the Darkside for an episode of the Horror TV Shows We Miss video series. Romero left Laurel in the mid-’80s, and a while later Rubinstein oversaw another horror anthology TV show. That show was called Monsters, and it’s the one we’re digging into with the new episode of Horror TV Shows We Miss. Check it out in the embed above!

CBS All Access offers a glimpse in a new trailer for its upcoming nine-episode limited series adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Stand,” released Friday at New York Comic Con.

Some roads are empty, while others are littered with abandoned cars, and one very important one leads to the Boulder Free Zone, where those who Mother Abagail called to came running to rebuild society. “All I know is we dreamed of her and she was real,” James Marsden’s Stu Redman says.

But while Mother Abagail is trying to keep as...

“The Stand,” first published in 1978, is King’s longest standalone work and the first to introduce the character of Randall Flagg, a dark figure with supernatural abilities who attempts to construct a totalitarian civilization in the wake of the plague. The character will be played by Skarsgard in the adaptation.

CBS All Access has released the first teaser for its upcoming adaptation of “The Stand.”

The short teaser, clocking in at just 30 seconds, aired during Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards. It briefly shows Whoopi Goldberg as Mother Abagail, introducing herself to Frannie Goldsmith (Odessa Young) in a cornfield and beckoning her, “you come see me at Hemingfoot Home.” From there, it goes on to display eerie deserted streets, distressing hospital moments and even a little bit of levitation.

“The Stand” is based on Stephen King’s 1978 novel of the same name and follows a battle between good and evil among the survivors of a plague. The main characters in the apocalyptic story are primarily split into two camps: those who follow the 108-year-old Mother Abagail, and those who align with Randall Flagg, the Dark Man.

Initially released in 1978 (followed by that mammoth uncut edition in 1990), Stephen King's The Stand is as timely now as it was over 40 years ago, and this holiday season Captain Trips will be unleashed once again when a new limited series adaptation of The Stand premieres on CBS All Access on Thursday, December 17th.
