Dune 3 & James Bond Movie Get The Odyssey-Sized Updates
and the new James Bond movie have received The Odyssey-sized updates from IMAX CEO Richard Gelfond.
Denis Villeneuve is now in production on Dune 3, which will see Timothée Chalamet reprise his role as Paul Atreides. After that, Villeneuve plans to make the next James Bond movie for Amazon MGM Studios.
Speaking on CNBC Television, Gelfond said that Dune 3 will be shot entirely with IMAX cameras. He also expressed hopes that Villeneuve's Bond movie would do the same, though this has not yet been confirmed as the film is still a ways out from beginning production.
An article published by Gizmodo notes, 'A spokesperson for IMAX confirmed Villeneuve will, in fact, shoot Messiah with IMAX cameras but could not confirm whether it would be the full film, as per Gelfond's quotes. We also reached out to Warner Bros. but had yet to hear back as of publication. We'll update this story if and when we do.'
This will make Dune 3 the second film to be shot entirely on IMAX cameras following Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, which is currently in production. That movie has a July 17, 2026, release date from Universal Pictures and will star Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, and more.
Not much is known about the new Bond movie at this time, as there has been no casting announcement or plot details that have been revealed.
Dune 3, meanwhile, will be an adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune Messiah, which was published in 1969. Following the events of 2021's Dune and 2024's Dune: Part Two, the confirmed cast of Dune 3, in addition to Chalamet, so far includes Zendaya as Chani, Florence Pugh as Princess Ireland, Jason Momoa as Duncan Idaho, Nakoa-Wolf Momoa as Leto II Atreides, and Ida Brooke as Ghanima Atreides.

Tom Holland has enjoyed his time filming Christopher Nolan's"The Odyssey." The actor described his role as Telemachus in the upcoming film as "the job of a lifetime" in a recent interview with GQ Sports. "It was amazing. The job of a lifetime, without a doubt. The best experience I've had on a film set," Holland said. "Incredible. It was exciting. It was different. And I think the movie is going to be unlike anything we've ever seen." Holland had nothing but kind words to say about Nolan and his wife, producer Emma Thomas. "Working with Chris, getting to know him and Emma was absolutely fantastic. I've never seen someone that can work the way that they do, and there is a reason why they're the best in the business for sure," Holland said. "To get a front row seat to that and to be a part of the process and to collaborate with a true master of his craft and learn from him was the best experience I've ever had." Holland stars in the ensemble alongside Matt Damon, who plays Odysseus. The star-studded cast of "The Odyssey" also includes Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Jon Bernthal and more. "Matt Damon has always been a hero of mine, Anne Hathaway has always been a hero of mine," Holland said. "So to share scenes with them, to learn from them, to become friends with them, I couldn't have asked for a better job. And I'm so proud of the work I've done. I came to work every day with a real sense of purpose and a point to prove, and I'm so grateful for Chris to have given me that opportunity."
