Dune: Part Three is the shortest film in the trilogy

Dune: Part Three will conclude Denis Villeneuve’s film trilogy, with Timothée Chalamet returning as Paul Atreides.

The story is set almost two decades after Part Two, with Paul now an emperor facing the consequences of his rule.

The film’s confirmed runtime differs between reports: one gives 150 minutes and another 151.

Either way, it is shorter than Part One’s 155 minutes and Part Two’s 166.

The story follows Paul as he faces visions of collapse, an assassination threat and a conspiracy involving Chani, played by Zendaya.

The film is scheduled to reach cinemas in December, but the reported release date differs: one source says December 18 and another says December 16.

Preview screenings are reported to begin on December 15.
