He’s the brilliant filmmaker behind those recent Dune films, the third of which hitting theaters December 18.
Featured in the Dune: Part Three cast is new addition Robert Pattinson, and on Friday, November 6, media outlets including Variety reported that the 40-year-old heartthrob is now a James Bond contender.
