Dune third installment name revealed
Shooting of the Dune series' third installment, which is backed by Warner Bros Pictures and Legendary Entertainment, has resumed work at Budapest's Origo Film Studios: the same location used for the previous two parts of the film, Screenrant reported.
The film's official title was announced recently, and much to the dismay of fans, it is not titled Dune Messiah after Frank Herbert's 1969 novel. Instead, the project is now officially titled as Dune: Part Three in line with industry listings like Rentrak, according to a Variety report.
Zendaya and Anya Taylor-Joy lead star-studded cast
Zendaya will be repeating her role as Chani. Timothee Chalamet will reprise his role as Paul Atreides, and Anya Taylor-Joy will join them as Alia Atreides, Paul's sister. Her character made a brief appearance in the second film. Variety also reported that the other cast members returning include Florence Pugh, Javier Bardem, and Jason Momoa, who will be a surprise return since it seemed he was removed from Dune: Part Two.
Newcomers Nakoa-Wolf Momoa and Ida Brooke have been cast as Leto II and Ghanima Atreides, the children of Paul and Chani, crucial characters in Herbert's Dune Messiah.

Production accelerated after Dune: Part Two's success
According to another Deadline report, Villeneuve had originally planned a break before working on the third film of the franchise. However, the overwhelming critical and commercial success of Dune: Part Two, which grossed over $714 million worldwide, created an accelerated timeframe. The creators are hoping for a theatrical release in December 2026.
Since cinematographer Greig Fraser is tied up on The Batman: Part II, Linus Sandgren will handle the visuals for the third film of the franchise. Meanwhile, composer Hans Zimmer will be returning to lend the same magic his score did in the previous two films.

The BAFTA-winning drama, created by Dominic Savage, will return for its fourth season with a new two-part story titled 'I Am Helen', co-starring Joe Cole. According to Variety, Coughlan, known for her roles in Bridgerton, Derry Girls, and Big Mood, joins the list of high-profile female leads who have previously headlined the 'I Am' series, including Kate Winslet, Letitia Wright, Samantha Morton, and Lesley Manville. What is 'I Am Helen' about? The story for I Am Helen has been developed in creative collaboration between Nicola Coughlan and Dominic Savage, who continues his signature approach of working closely with his lead actors to shape the narratives. 'It's an absolute honour to be part of telling the next I Am story alongside Dominic Savage, a singular talent and a storyteller deeply committed to exploring the breadth of the female experience,' said Coughlan. 'To follow in the footsteps of the brilliant women who've collaborated with him on this series feels truly surreal, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be embarking on this journey.' Joe Cole, known for Gangs of London and A Small Light, will star opposite Coughlan in the two-part installment. The exact plot and broadcast date are yet to be revealed, but I Am Helen will air on Channel 4. Why 'I Am Helen' could be the most powerful chapter yet Since its debut in 2019, 'I Am' has become Channel 4's most successful new 10 pm drama in six years, praised for its emotionally raw storytelling and focus on female-led narratives. Winslet's I Am Ruth won two BAFTAs in 2023, while earlier stories like I Am Nicola (Vicky McClure), I Am Kirsty (Samantha Morton), and I Am Maria (Lesley Manville) received critical acclaim. Krishnendu Majumdar and Richard Yee of Me+You Productions said, 'It's a genuine privilege to continue our creative relationship with Dominic Savage, one of the most brilliant and uniquely talented filmmakers today, and to be working with Nicola Coughlan, one of the standout performers of her generation.'

Vanessa Kirby Lost Her Voice After Fantastic Four Birth Scene: ‘Crew Had To Get Earplugs'
Last Updated: Actress Vanessa Kirby has revealed she lost her voice after spending weeks filming the birth scene for The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Vanessa Kirby lost her voice after filming the birth scene for The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The 37-year-old actress plays Sue Storm in the new superhero movie which features a scene in which her character gives birth in space – and Vanessa has admitted the strenuous shoot – which took place over several weeks – took a toll on her vocals. She told Variety: 'We had an amazing couple of weeks shooting that sequence in that spaceship. I loved every minute. I lost my voice by the end. 'You only see a few shots in there, but we did hundreds, just roaring the whole time. I think the crew had to get earplugs by the end. It was a very beautiful thing to shoot. I felt so supported by those actors." She went on to reveal they used child actors when filming scenes with Sue's baby and it proved challenging at times. Vanessa explained: '100 per cent of the film was shot with a real baby. Our lead baby, Ada, a little girl, was just heaven. " We had lots of other babies who were acting with us and helping us. We got really attached to them, and they were so part of our journey. It almost became weird if they weren't there. 'Also, it's challenging. The speech that Sue has was a night shoot. It was really late and we were shooting in winter in London, and all the babies cried at exactly the same line. 'I thought: 'Am I delivering something so bad that they're crying at the same moment?' Babies are the most natural actors in the world." Vanessa is currently expecting her first child with her partner Paul Rabil, and she recently discussed the difference between her real baby bump and using a fake belly for her role in The Fantastic Four film. Speaking on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Vanessa shared: 'I honestly think a lot of people think it's a stunt of some kind. It's just crazy timing. 'Essentially, the fake belly is like a foam thing. When it's a foam, it feels very light and a bit silly. So I kept saying to Flick, who looks after my costume: 'I want more. It needs to be heavier.' 'So we would try all these different things and eventually she kind of put heavy rice packets in the belly and it got so heavy, [and] I got really bad backache. 'And actually it's nothing like this. This [real baby bump] is… way lighter. So, I gave myself a backache for no reason at all." First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
