- Oscar-winning editor Joe Walker says Dune: Part Three is 98% done, after reviewing screenings in Dolby Atmos, 7.1, 5.1, and IMAX sound plus several image formats including 70mm and Dolby Vision.
- Villeneuve tells Empire Magazine this will be his final trip to Arrakis, saying he is tired of the series and will be severe with the material rather than nostalgic.
- After Part Three, Villeneuve plans to direct the next James Bond film, which he says he needs a "very powerful rocket" to move on to.
- Timothée Chalamet calls Part Three "its own beast," while Villeneuve says it keeps the same DNA as the earlier films but is a very different movie.
- The film opens in theaters in December, and Empire's cover story with exclusive first-look images hits newsstands October 22.
