Ten cities around the globe got to partake in a special DUNE: PART THREE Global Fan Event today, including Toronto where the livestream took place at Scotiabank Theatre Toronto. Moderated by Podcaster Brittany Broski, Canadian Writer/Director Denis Villeneuve and star Timothée Chalamet fielded questions from fans around the world.
Villeneuve reveals his process how he was far ahead of schedule making this third film, adapted from Frank Herbert‘s DUNE MESSIAH.
Villeneuve: “I went back home and two things happened. I kept waking up at night with these images that would get stronger and stronger. Also something important I have to say is that when we were filming Part Two, I felt an appetite, a desire to finish that story and I was planning to film Part Three a few years from now. But I asked, would it be a better idea instead of going there by necessity, go by the images that are coming to my mind right now? I wrote the Movie right away and here we are, DUNE: PART THREE is based on the second book DUNE MESSIAH. It was my favourite and it was an honour for me to bring it to the screen.”.
On what to expect, he says “It is a Dune movie but it is very different. Written in a more intense way.”.
Chalamet professes his respect and admiration for Villeneuve and his Co-stars.
Chalamet: “I’m a huge fan of The Lord of the Rings trilogy and that was the last time someone knocked-out three things so consecutively. In Denis we trust.”.
He adds, “Zendaya as you guys see in that Trailer, such a fantastic performance in this as usual. Anya (Taylor-Joy) is actually terrifying and amazing. Rob (Pattinson), I knew how good he was.”.
Highlights from the Global Fan Event:
DUNE: PART III is in theatres December 18, 2026, in IMAX.

For almost 20 years, Illumination has welcomed audiences into a universe of unforgettable characters and stories, including Minions and Despicable Me, the biggest global animated franchise in history, as well as Sing, The Secret Life of Pets, Migration and the record-shattering Super Mario Bros. films. Now, the studio invites you to experience Not Alone, their entirely original new film.
In his first-ever feature-length animated film, four-time Academy Award® nominee and Golden Globe and Actor Award winner Timothée Chalamet (Marty Supreme, Dune films) stars as Joe, an introverted rocket mechanic who lives a quiet life alone.
Co-starring with Chalamet is Actor Award winner and Emmy and Grammy nominee Selena Gomez (Only Murders in the Building, Emilia Pérez). Selena plays Fran, a brilliant astro-botanist who is developing the world’s first-ever plant-fueled rocket.
When Joe and Fran are brought together to prepare for the inaugural launch of this revolutionary rocket, there are immediate sparks, but neither is particularly adept at romance.
Life becomes more complicated when three aliens—tiny, unruly and adorable—take refuge in Joe’s home. Dunk, Welly and Shirm are on the interplanetary run from a zealous-yet-inept officer of the law named Zandro. The aliens determine that Fran’s rocket could provide their means of getting back home to safety.
The aliens are voiced by renowned British comedic actors Rob Brydon (Barbie, The Trip), Diane Morgan (Cunk On series, Mandy) and Jamie Demetriou (Cruella, Jay Kelly) starring as Dunk, Welly and Shirm, and two-time Emmy winner Brett Goldstein (Ted Lasso, Office Romance) as officer Zandro. The film’s supporting voice includes Oscar winner Allison Janney (Minions & Monsters, The Diplomat) and Emmy winner Lamorne Morris (Fargo, Spider-Noir).
Not Alone is directed by Eric Guillon, the co-director of Despicable Me 3 and the brilliant designer of Despicable Me and Minions, whose storied career at Illumination includes design work on The Secret Life of Pets and Sing films.
Guillon is directing alongside Claire Dodgson (editor of The Lorax, Minions, Despicable Me 3, Minions: The Rise of Gru) and Jonathan Del Val (co-director of Minions: The Rise of Gru and The Secret Life of Pets 2).
The film is produced by Illumination’s founder and CEO Chris Meledandri and executive produced by Joy Poirel, Richard Curtis and David Distenfeld.
