‘Dune: Part Two’ – First Images Reveal Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan
The hotly anticipated sequel Dune: Part Two will arrive in theaters on November 3, 2023, and this morning Vanity Fair has an exclusive sneak peek at the upcoming film.
Head over to Vanity Fair to read the piece and find a few of the website’s exclusive images below. The piece includes more images and details about all the new characters.
Returning director Denis Villeneuve tells Vanity Fair that Part Two is a “war epic action movie,” while also noting that it’s not a sequel but rather a true “second part.”
He explains to the outlet, “It’s important—it’s not a sequel, it’s a second part. There’s a difference. I wanted the movie to really open just where we left the characters. There’s no time jump. I wanted dramatic continuity with part one.”
Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya and Josh Brolin will return for Dune: Part Two, which is once again directed by Denis Villeneuve (Dune).
Florence Pugh, Léa Seydoux, Austin Butler, Tim Blake Nelson and Christopher Walken also star in Dune: Part Two, making for one hell of an ensemble cast.
Released simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max in 2021, Dune opened to $41 million domestically, ending its run with $108 million domestically and $400 million worldwide.
A mythic and emotionally charged hero’s journey, Dune tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence—a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential—only those who can conquer their fear will survive.

It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!
We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!
Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.
“Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.
Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”
Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”
In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
