I&#8217;ve gotten texts by people who are also in it who apparently haven&#8217;t read the script or only read their parts, which I don&#8217;t understand &#8217;cause that&#8217;s why I reached out to (director) Denis (Villeneuve),&#8221; he shared while promoting his movie Weapons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I was like, why are all these people thinking, like, &#8216;Hey, are you here yet? Are we going to go to the bathhouse in Budapest?&#8217; I&#8217;m like, &#8216;Dude, read the script. Like, do your job.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Gurney, who was the weapons master and mentor for Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet&#8217;s character Paul Atreides, had a very minor role in Frank Herbert&#8217;s novel, Dune: Messiah, on which the film is based. The story is set 12 years after Dune: Part Two, with Paul now a leader.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Brolin added that the script is &#8220;super good&#8221; and the story wraps up Villeneuve&#8217;s Dune saga &#8220;in a big way&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Dune: Part Three will also star Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Florence Pugh, and Jason Momoa, while Robert Pattinson is rumoured to be playing the villain Scytale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The film is due to be released in December 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source uk.movies.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Josh Brolin has revealed that some of his co-stars aren&#8217;t aware that he has a significantly smaller role in the third film.
