**Lisan al-Gaib! Production Progresses Nicely on Denis Villeneuve’s *Dune 3***
Production is moving along nicely on Denis Villeneuve’s *Dune 3*, as Timothée Chalamet, who portrays uprising leader Paul Atreides, has confirmed he’s finished filming the sci-fi epic. His time on set ended just days ago.
Chalamet recently sat down with Adam Sandler at Fairfax High School in Los Angeles for a candid conversation covering their careers, work, and even a little basketball. During the chat—which was reported by *The Hollywood Reporter*—Chalamet discussed his work on *Dune: Part Two* before revealing that he’s wrapped filming on the third installment, to a round of applause.
“It’s moving to me that something as out there as *Dune*—and I’m talking about themes even in the book—has taken this personal resonance on,” Chalamet shared.
As is typical, he didn’t reveal much more, but this news is exciting in itself, signaling that Villeneuve’s trilogy-ender is nearing completion.
**Adapting *Dune: Messiah***
The third film will adapt *Dune: Messiah*, the next book in Frank Herbert’s sprawling, cosmic saga. The plot will continue with Paul Atreides at the forefront of an intergalactic war between the Fremen and nearly every other political entity vying for control of the Spice.
By the end of *Part Two*, Paul had claimed the Emperor’s throne, but the other Houses rebelled against his ascension, pushing them and the Fremen into open conflict. Meanwhile, Chani—Zendaya’s character and Paul’s love interest—becomes nomadic when Paul requests the hand of Princess Irulan as part of his demands to the Emperor.
It’s an operatic and intense setup for the trilogy’s finale.
**A Darker, Weirder Chapter**
*Dune: Part Three* promises to be darker and weirder than its predecessors if it adapts even half of what *Messiah* covers. Denis Villeneuve has proven he’s more than willing to explore the idiosyncrasies of Herbert’s work, diving deep into the complex themes and characters of this beloved sci-fi universe.
As fans eagerly await the conclusion of the trilogy, all signs point to an epic, thought-provoking finale that will stay true to the visionary source material.
