'Dune: Part Three,' starring Timothée Chalamet, begins production

Production is officially underway for "Dune: Part Three," with Timothée Chalamet reprising his role as Paul Atreides.

The announcement was made via the film’s official X account, which posted a photo of a desert landscape by director Denis Villeneuve, captioned: “…on a journey into that land where we walk without footprints.”

According to Variety, the film’s official title is "Dune: Part Three," not "Dune Messiah" as previously speculated. Some scenes will also be shot using IMAX cameras.

The third installment follows the success of "Dune: Part Two," released in 2024, which won Best Sound and Best Visual Effects at the 97th Academy Awards.

“Dune: Part One” was released in 2021.

The film series is adapted from Frank Herbert’s legendary book series of the same name.

"...on a journey into that land where we walk without footprints."

Production has begun on the next film in Denis Villeneuve's Dune trilogy.
