Denis Villeneuve's Return To Arrakis Gets Official Title, Dune: Part Three
Denis Villeneuve is working on his return to Arrakis which is reported to be an adaptation of Dune: Messiah.
After earning $700 million at the worldwide box office along with critical acclaim, Dune: Part Two was one of the biggest and most successful movies of 2024. Both Dune and Dune: Part Two were adapted from Frank Herbert's first novel, Dune. Now, Denis Villeneuve is working on his return to Arrakis which is reported to be an adaptation of Dune: Messiah. It is officially titled Dune: Part Three, as listed in Rentrack.
According to Variety, some of the sequences in Dune: Part Three will be shot with IMAX cameras. However, it will not be entirely shot with IMAX cameras, just like Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. FYI, Nolan's film was the first and so far only film to be filmed that way.
Talking to CNBC, Imax CEO Richard Gelfond was earlier asked whether Amazon MGM Studios hired Denis Villeneuve to direct their reboot of the James Bond franchise. While answering, he also opened up about the director's plans for Dune: Part Three at Warner Bros and Legendary Entertainment.
He said, 'From a personal point of view, I was really happy. I like him. I think he's a genius filmmaker." Further, he added, '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."
Dune: Part Three is set to go on floors soon, with Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya returning to reprise their roles. Along with them, Jason Momoa has also confirmed to be returning for Part Three. Momoa was a part of the cast in the first Dune but was not featured in Part Two. The much-awaited installment is expected to release in December 2026.
Shortly after Dune: Part Two's release, Denis Villeneuve sat down for a chat with The Wrap and shared that he is grateful to have worked on the Dune movies but also eager to return to Arrakis. In an interesting revelation, he also said that Dune: Part Three will not be the conclusion of a trilogy, but rather an adaptation of the second novel in a long series of books.

Tanushree Dutta makes shocking claims of receiving threats like Sushant Singh Rajput: 'Bollywood mafia gang…, Nana Patekar...'
Bollywood actress Tanushree Dutta has made shocking claims after posting an emotional video on social media on Tuesday, in which she was seen crying. She accused a veteran actor and a Bollywood mafia gang of threatening her, stating that they are trying to kill her. She also mentioned it's the same way Sushant Singh Rajput was threatened. What happened to Tanushree Dutta? A video was shared by Tanushree Dutta where she claimed she is being harassed in her own home – something that has reportedly been happening for the past 4-5 years. She mentioned hearing strange noises in the house. While she didn't name anyone in the video, in an interview, she has now alleged that Nana Patekar is behind the harassment. Tanushree Dutta makes shocking claims In an explosive interview, Tanushree Dutta accused Nana Patekar of harassing her. Speaking to TV9 Marathi, she said, 'Strange things have been happening to me over the past four to five years. The brakes of my car were tampered with. After that, I realized someone was following me. Wherever I went, people would follow me. The projects I used to sign were taken away from me. Nana Patekar is involved in this harassment.' Tanushree Dutta relates to Sushant Singh Rajput In her interview, Tanushree Dutta also mentioned the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, saying that what happened to him is now happening to her. She stated, 'The people who are after me are connected to Nana Patekar and his Bollywood associates. They are the ones who have sent people to follow me. I suspect them. People would come to the hotels where I was staying and knock on my room door to harass me. On several occasions, I was even poisoned, and attempts were made to kill me by making me ill – but I survived.' Tanushree Dutta further said, 'The maid who worked in my house was also involved, as she used to mix something in my food. Because of that, my health kept deteriorating. I would remain unconscious for 17–18 hours at a stretch. They tried to drive me insane and kill me.' In an interview to News18 , Dutta urges the government to provide her security. 'This mafia is huge and dangerous, and I fear for my life just like Sushant must have', said the actress. What happened between Tanushree Dutta accused Nana Patekar? In 2018, during the Me Too movement, Tanushree Dutta accused Nana Patekar of harassing her. She said openly about the inappropriate conduct in 2008 and said he 'tried to sexually abuse' her while shooting a song sequence for Horn Ok Please in 2009. Dutta stated that although the song was supposed to be shot on a single actor, still Nana used to be present on the set. Tanushree had also filed a complaint with the Cine & TV Artists Association (CINTAA) in 2008. However, no action was taken since it was a criminal case. After criticising Nana for his statement calling her allegations false, Tanushree further accused him of 'criminal intimidation' and 'physical harm'. In 2019, the police dismissed all the allegations against Nana Patekar and he was given a clean chit.

A 10-Second Role As Sridevi's Husband Ended This Supermodel's Bollywood Dreams
Last Updated: Supermodel Deepak Malhotra's promising Bollywood debut with Yash Chopra turned sour due to harsh criticism for his role in 'Lamhe', leading him to leave films and start anew abroad For any artist, their first screen appearance can make or break their career. While some rise from modest starts, others get a spectacular break that launches them into fame. Yet, even a grand debut doesn't guarantee success if luck isn't on one's side. Who Is Deepak Malhotra? Deepak Malhotra, a top supermodel in the 1980s, was known for his striking looks that rivalled leading actors. Born in Bangalore, Karnataka, in 1964, he was a national-level gymnast before turning to modelling, becoming India's highest-paid model by the late 80s. His good fortune caught the eye of legendary filmmaker Yash Chopra, who cast him in the 1991 film Lamhe alongside Sridevi. The 10-Second Scene That Halted A Promising Career In the film, Sridevi portrayed the character of Pallavi Bhatnagar, while Deepak Malhotra played her husband, Siddharth Kumar Bhatnagar. In a brief 10-second scene, Pallavi faints, and Siddharth, attempting to revive her, caresses her cheek in a moment meant to convey affection. However, the audience found the gesture awkward and stiff, sparking heavy criticism and ridicule. The scene became infamous, even inspiring memes that continue to circulate today. What was meant to be Deepak's big break turned into a major setback. The backlash from that single scene not only damaged his public image but also derailed his budding acting career. Lost Chances And Career Decline Deepak's decision to take a side role in Lamhe instead of a lead in Rajiv Mehra's Chamatkar (1992), which later starred Shah Rukh Khan, cost him dearly. Criticism from Lamhe led Yash Chopra to cast Sunny Deol in Darr (1993) instead of Deepak, causing him to miss several big projects. What once seemed like a promising rivalry with stars like Shah Rukh and Aamir Khan ended abruptly as film offers dried up. Where Is Deepak Malhotra Now? Disheartened by the setbacks, Deepak relocated to the USA, changed his name to Dino Martelli, and returned to modelling. He also pursued studies in engineering and design, entering the garment business. Now based in New York, USA, he is married to supermodel and choreographer Lubna Adam, and their two sons have followed in the fashion world.
