FULL STORY ======================================================================

Dust off your stillsuits, people Dune: Part Two has reportedly finished filming.

The news comes by way of Paul Atreides himself, aka star Timothe Chalamet,
who posted a photo of himself to Instagram in what appears to be Jordans
Wadi Rum desert with a caption reading: DUNE 2 WRAPPED (with desert dad !!).

The highly-anticipated sequel to director Denis Villeneuves Dune is set to be released on November 3, 2023, suggesting the bulk of next year will be
devoted to post-production work for the Blade Runner: 2049 filmmaker. Although, it's possible that Chalamets comment only refers to his own filming schedule.

Initial production got underway on Dune: Part Two earlier this year, with filming taking place in locations such as Budapest, Abu Dhabi, Jordan, and Italy. For an idea of how Villeneuve went about that principal photography, check out our piece on how Dune's production team brought the world of
Arrakis to life in Dune: Part One, which features insight from the films visual effects supervisor Paul Lambert, head of production design Patrice Vermette, and director of photography Greig Fraser. All three are believed to have returned for Dune: Part Two).

Alongside Chalamet, actors reprising their roles from the first Dune movie include Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Dave Bautista, Charlotte Rampling, Stellan Skarsgrd, Javier Bardem, and Stephen McKinley Henderson. Newcomers to Frank Herberts sci-fi universe include Florence Pugh ( Black Widow , Dont Worry Darling ), Austin Butler (Elvis), La Seydoux ( No Time to Die ), and Christopher Walken (The Deer Hunter).

As its title suggests, Dune: Part Two will pick up directly after the abrupt end to Dune: Part One , which saw Chalamets superpowered prince, Paul Atreides, join forces with the Fremen after surviving the Harkonnen attack on his family.

Oer Warner Bros official plot synopsis, Villeneuves sequel will "explore the mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a warpath of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family. Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, he endeavors to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee."

Pugh, Butler, Seydoux, and Walken will star as Princess Irulan Corrino, villain Feyd-Rautha, Bene Gesserit Lady Margot, and Emperor Shaddam IV, respectively four characters who dont appear until the second half of Herberts novel.

Warner Bros. is betting big on Villeneuves Arrakeen vision. Expected to
arrive soon after Dune: Part Two is Dune: The Sisterhood, an HBO Max -exclusive spin-off series positioned as a prequel to the first Dune movie. Dune: Awakening a sprawling MMO video game set in Herberts Dune universe is also on the horizon, though the jury is out on its release date.

In any case, Dune's even-more-star-studded follow-up ranks among the most anticipated new movies of 2023, and we can't wait to return to the desert plains of Arrakis for more worm-riding action.
