Timothée Chalamet just completed filming on Denis Villeneuve's Dune 3: "It's moving to me that something as out there as Dune has taken this personal resonance"

Adapting Dune: Messiah, the next book in Frank Herbert's sprawling, cosmic narrative, the plot here will continue with Paul at the forefront of the intergalactic war between the Fremen and near enough every other political entity in the galaxy for control of the Spice. At the end of Part Two, Paul won the Emperor's throne, but the other Houses rebelled against his ascension, pushing them and the Fremen into open combat. Part Three is primed to be weirder and darker than the prior two if it adapts even half of what Messiah covers, and Villeneuve has proven he's more than keen to dive into the idiosyncrasies of Herbert’s work.
