When I was doing \u201cDune\u201d it was so hot in the desert that I just couldn\u2019t question anything. And it was so relaxing, like my brain actually wasn\u2019t operating, I did not have a single functioning brain cell. And I was just listening to Denis [Villeneuve]: \u2018Whatever you want!\u2019\u2026 I actually found it relaxing. Now I\u2019m taking that into other roles.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u2018Messiah\u2019 kicks off events twelve years after those of \u201cDune\u201d with Paul Atreides (Timothee Chalamet) ruling as Emperor, married to Princess Irulan (Florence Pugh) while maintaining a relationship with his concubine, Chani (Zendaya).  Forces plot against him.<\/p>\n<p>Jason Momoa, Javier Bardem and Anya Taylor-Joy will return while Nakoa-Wolf Momoa and Ida Brooke star as Paul\u2019s children.  Linus Sandgren is cinematographer and Hans Zimmer returns to do the score.  \u201cDune: Messiah\u201d will hit cinemas on December 18th.<\/p>\n<p>Pattinson will next film Matt Reeves\u2019 \u201cThe Batman: Part II\u201d early next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For a good chunk of the past few months, actor Robert Pattinson has been busy filming Denis Villeneuve\u2019s&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":354450,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[172961,171,53,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-354449","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-bigslider","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-movies","11":"tag-united-states","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115490171832904108","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=354449"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354449\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/354450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=354449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=354449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=354449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
