Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya are set to return as Paul Atreides and Chani, with Jason Momoa reprising his role as Duncan Idaho, in Dune’s third instalment.
Notably, the maker of a sci-fi film has unveiled the title of the upcoming part, leaving fans disappointed.
Denis Villeneuve’s forthcoming movie has been officially titled Dune: Part Three, much to the fans' dismay, who were excited for the film to be titled Dune: The Messiah, after Frank Herbert’s 1969 book.
Based on Herbert’s Dune series, the third sequel is said to be filmed with IMAX cameras.
In a conversation with CNBC, Imax CEO Richard Gelfond seemingly revealed that the film will be shot with the company’s proprietary cameras.
This was later confirmed during an interview with Variety, when Gelfond talked about Villeneuve being hired by MGM Studios to direct their reboot of the James Bond franchise.
“From a personal point of view, I was really happy. I like him. I think he’s a genius filmmaker,” Gelfond said about the Bond hiring.
“He’s so creative. He’s making the next ‘Dune’ — with IMAX cameras, he’s filming the whole thing. So, we haven’t started talking yet, but I’m praying that that’s the case with Bond.”
For the unversed, Dune: Part Three will follow in the footsteps of Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey, the first major motion picture to be shot entirely on IMAX cameras.
