Dune 3 has debuted its first footage behind closed doors, and from all the reports, it sounds like an epic conclusion to the franchise. Director Denis Villeneuve and stars Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya and Jason Momoa took to the stage at CinemaCon to introduce seven minutes of footage and Chalamet had a pretty huge comparison to make.
Reflecting on his work as Paul Atreides across the trilogy, the actor referenced another epic fantasy. "I've grown up on screen with Denis [on these] three films," he said, per Entertainment Weekly. "It was just deeply moving to be part of a sci-fi trilogy on the scale of Lord of the Rings, but in a time when movie theaters and movies aren't as naturally successful as they used to be, you know. It's a deep honor."
