The news came alongside a new mini-trailer for the film showcasing Paul Atreides (Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet), Chani (Zendaya), and Princess Irulan (Florence Pugh) preparing for galactic war.<\/p>\n<p> The announcement comes not long after <em>The Odyssey<\/em> kicked off an IMAX craze, becoming the highest-earning film in the format. Shortly after, <em>Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/em> carried the torch with a similarly huge showing. Much like <em>The Odyssey<\/em>, <em>Dune: Part Three <\/em>will be available in the highly exclusive 70MM IMAX format (only 34 theaters in the United States are showing the film in that format). Those who saw <em>The Odyssey<\/em> in <span style=\"box-sizing:border-box; margin:0px; padding:0px\">that format likely got an exclusive early look at <em>Part Three,<\/em><\/span><em> <\/em>featuring a stunning battle scene that put a sci-fi spin on D-Day imagery.<\/p>\n<p>Director Denis Villeneuve has said that <em>Dune: Part Three <\/em>will be his last Dune movie. The film<em> <\/em>will adapt <em>Dune Messiah<\/em>, the second book in Frank Herbert\u2019s long-running sci-fi series, set years later amid a horrific conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Villeneuve wrote the screenplay alongside acclaimed author Brian K. Vaughan (<em>Y: The Last Man<\/em>, <em>Ex Machina<\/em>, <em>Saga<\/em>). Hans Zimmer is returning to compose the soundtrack, while Linus Sandgren (<em>La La Land<\/em>, <em>First Man<\/em>, <em>Wuthering Heights<\/em>) is taking over for Greig Fraser as cinematographer.<\/p>\n<p><em>Dune: Part Three <\/em>will likely further cement 2026 as a comeback year for the film industry. <em>The Odyssey<\/em> and <em>Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/em> have each passed a billion dollars at the global box office. Together, the films scored the biggest single weekend in domestic box-office history, putting this year on track to be the first since 2019 to clear $10 billion domestically. <em>Part Three <\/em>comes out the same day as <em>Avengers: Doomsday<\/em>, so it\u2019s quite possible we\u2019ll see another box office boom this December.<\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\">Related<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \">\n<p>\t\t\tDune 3 trailer teases some big changes from Dune Messiah<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">It seems like Chani will get a lot more screen time, among other alterations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dune: Part Three is fast approaching, and tickets are now on sale ahead of the film\u2019s Dec. 18 release date.
