Dune 3 gets an exciting filming update which will reassure fans
Dune fans who are eagerly awaiting the third instalment will be pleased to hear that filming should be underway very, very soon. According to Deadline, filming on Dune 3 will begin in July which tracks with previous reports that the production was aiming for a summer start. Last July Dune 3's release date was confirmed for 18 December, 2026 and hopefully the film should still be on track to come out as planned. Dune 3 will see Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya and Florence Pugh all returning to the franchise. Pugh's character Princess Irulan is expected to take on a bigger role in the third instalment with director Denis Villeneuve previously comparing her importance to Zendaya's character Chani. Related: Best streaming services in 2025 He told Moviefone: "Of course, if there's a Dune Messiah as we plan, [Irulan will] become one of the prominent characters of that whole series. I'm doing a bit of what I did with Zendaya in the first movie. "I introduced Chani in Dune and then she becomes one of the main characters in Part Two. I do the same with Florence, I just introduced her in Part Two and if there's a Dune Messiah, she becomes one of the main characters." One more surprising name that will also be back is Jason Momoa whose character Duncan Idaho died in the first movie and was not present in the second. Related: Dune 3 will adapt Frank Herbert's 1969 novel Dune Messiah where Momoa's character Idaho is cloned and brought back to life as an artificially created human known as a ghola. The cast of Dune 3 may also have a big name addition as in April it was reported that Robert Pattinson had been offered a role, though his casting has not yet been confirmed. Dune 3 will be released on December 18, 2026. Dune: Part Two is available to buy in the UK from , , and more. Digital Spy's first print magazine is here!

'People are travelling for our food': India takeaway go viral for 'tangy' treat
A Viral Indian food spot is among the top 10 finalists for the Glasgow Times' Best Takeaway. Asian Tandoori, based in Cambuslang, is in the running alongside Catch (Netherlee), Chippy Mahal (Kilsyth), Clay Oven Tandoori (Giffnock), Kam Wa Chinese (Glasgow), Levant (Glasgow), Rowans Deli (Glasgow), Spring Garden (Clydebank), The Kraken Chippy (Cambuslang) and Umairs (East Kilbride). 'We're so delighted to be recognised and to reach the final, it's very good news,' Adam Ahmed told the Glasgow Times. (Image: Images by Colin Mearns, Newsquest) Adam, who has managed the award-winning establishment for the last 15 years, revealed just what makes them unique. He said: 'This is not just a shop. It's a place where you get free banter and human interaction — which is so important. 'We have good support from the community out there. We have a great connection with our customers.' He added: 'We also do a deal on Thursdays which is half-price pizza night. It means everybody gets fed an affordable dinner at least once a week, and that gives us a bit of satisfaction. 'I don't know anyone else who's doing that.' (Image: Images by Colin Mearns, Newsquest) (Image: Images by Colin Mearns, Newsquest) At the end of last year, the eatery quickly gained national attention after inventing the Chasni Doner. Having posted a video of the creation on TikTok which gathered over 100,000 views, people begun travelling from all over Scotland to try the dish. Adam said: 'We've had people from Perth, Ayrshire, Greenock and Gourock. People are travelling for our food, and it's expanding our customer base steadily. 'The Chasni Doner has been a big hit. One customer who ordered it came in to tell me they were licking the box after eating it. He said, 'There was just something about it.'' (Image: Images by Colin Mearns, Newsquest) The dish consists of chips and cheese in a box topped with Doner meat and the Chasni sauce – which offers a unique sweet and sour, almost tangy taste, according to Adam. The Chasni Doner has also earned Asian Tandoori a nomination for the Just Eat Innovation Award. To find out more, click HERE It certainly isn't the business' first recognition. To prove it, they even have a spot in their shop dedicated to the trophies and acknowledgement for their stand-out and above-average curries.

Beloved Restaurant Owned by 'Top Chef' Winner Closing After 15 Years
It's the end of an era for a beloved Japanese-inspired restaurant in Austin, TX. East Side King owner Paul Qui announced that he's hanging up his apron at that joint after 15 years in business. The popular joint on South Lamar will close its doors for the last time on June 7. The restaurant's food truck already shuttered on May 31. Qui, who won Bravo's Top Chef Texas, said it's not exactly a total goodbye. The company will still offer catering, but it's brick-and-mortar, along with the food truck, will be a thing of the past. "We are here for a good time not a long time and it's our time. East Side King is officially hanging up their apron and will be celebrating two final week of service," Qui shared on social media. "We have been honored to serve the Austin community for over 15 years and want to give a really big effing thank you to all the incredible people we have worked with along the way! and all the fantastic customers who kept us going! and especially all the support we have received from the weirdest community in Texas. We love yall so much. Come through and get your tori fix, say what's up to moto and take a pic with the tanuki. This isn't goodbye but see ya l8r sk8r." Qui's not exactly parting with the location, however, According to reports, the building will be converted into Roselle Pizzeria and open its doors sometime in September. And the kitchen staff will remain intact. If Qui's name rings a bell it's because, back in early 2016, he was enjoying immense success building an empire that included a chic hotel in Miami. But the James Beard Award winner ran into trouble in March of that year, when he was arrested by Austin police after he was accused of assaulting his girlfriend at their apartment. According to Eater Austin, Qui smashed a phone, broke a coffee table and injured himself in the process. Following his arrest, Qui denied in an interview with the Austin American-Statesman that he punched his girlfriend, whom cops alleged was found with a bruised arm and a swollen jaw. But more than two years later, the assault charges filed against Qui were dropped after the embattled chef's girlfriend refused to cooperate with prosecutors. Nevertheless, East Side King's sudden closure was met with shock and sadness. One patron commented on the IG post, "Damn. I would eat there once a week. Please gimme the recipe for the beet fries... 😢." Another added, "Just fell to my knees 💔💔💔 when I was broke, experiencing my first familial death and in between moves/jobs I started working on E. 6th and lived on the liberty rice lol. Such a simple menu item but that $4 (huge) rice portion and a patio beer + cig was all I had to look forward to most days. Local trucks mean SO MUCH to the community, you'll be missed but never forgotten ❤️ forever THE kings of the east side."
