Dune Part Three on the Horizon? Plus, Larry David's New HBO Show & a Rapid-Fire Review of 'Superman'
G'day, entertainment lovers! Welcome to our regular Screen Time rundown, your quick and easy guide to what's happening in the world of film and television. This week, we're diving into the potential of a Dune Part Three, getting a sneak peek at Larry David's highly anticipated new HBO series, and delivering a lightning-fast review of the recently released Superman film.
Dune 3: Is It Happening, and When?
The epic saga of Dune continues to captivate audiences worldwide. The phenomenal success of Dune: Part Two has naturally sparked fervent speculation about a third instalment. While Warner Bros. hasn't officially greenlit the project, all signs point towards it being a strong possibility. Director Denis Villeneuve has expressed his interest in adapting the remaining parts of Frank Herbert's novel, and the box office numbers certainly provide a compelling argument for continuing the franchise. Villeneuve has previously stated that he has a clear vision for Dune Messiah, the follow-up novel. However, he's also keen to see how the audience responds to Dune: Part Two before making any concrete decisions. Expect ongoing discussions and potential casting announcements – the desert planet Arrakis isn’t giving up its secrets just yet!
Larry David Returns to HBO with a Brand New Series
Get ready for more cringe-worthy brilliance! The master of awkward comedy, Larry David, is returning to HBO with a brand new series. Details are still scarce, but knowing David, expect plenty of uncomfortable situations, hilarious misunderstandings, and a healthy dose of self-deprecation. The show promises to be a continuation of the observational, often absurd, humor that made Curb Your Enthusiasm a global phenomenon. Fans are already buzzing with anticipation, wondering what kind of chaos David will unleash this time around. HBO knows they have a goldmine on their hands; David's shows consistently deliver ratings and critical acclaim. Stay tuned for more details as they emerge!
Superman: A Quick Review - Does It Fly?
James Gunn's Superman has landed in cinemas, and the question on everyone's lips is: does it live up to the hype? Our initial verdict? It’s a solid, enjoyable superhero film, but perhaps not a groundbreaking one. The casting of David Corenswet as Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane is well-received, bringing a fresh dynamic to these iconic characters. The film explores Superman's journey of self-discovery and his struggle to balance his immense power with his humanity. While the plot follows familiar superhero tropes, Gunn injects a welcome dose of sincerity and emotional depth. The action sequences are well-choreographed, and the visual effects are impressive. Overall, Superman is a worthwhile watch for fans of the genre, offering a respectable and modern take on the Man of Steel.
What Else is Happening?

Rumours are swirling about potential casting changes in upcoming Marvel projects, and several high-profile film festivals are gearing up for their annual showcases.
