31/12/24      DUNE: Warner Bros. Reportedly Has Plans To Continue The Franchise After MESSIAH

"According to scooper Daniel Richtman (and backed up by a report from World of Reel), the studio is planning to move forward with a fourth Dune movie and a second TV series.

The first two films were big successes, but this would still be somewhat surprising given the direction Frank Herbert's saga goes in after the second book. Villeneuve has shown little interest in adapting the later novels, Children of Dune and God Emperor of Dune, as he feels the story starts to become too "esoteric" "

"Antitrust Division Continues to Focus on Interlocking Directorates that Violate Section 8 of the Clayton Act

The Justice Department announced today that two directors of Epic Games Inc. (Epic), who had been appointed by Tencent Holdings Ltd. (Tencent), resigned from the Epic board after the Antitrust Division expressed concerns that their positions on both the Epic and Tencent boards violated Section 8 of the Clayton Act. Tencent owns a minority interest in Epic. The interlock was created because Tencent also is the parent company of a gaming competitor to Epic, Riot Games Inc. Tencent also decided to amend its shareholder agreement with Epic to relinquish its unilateral right to appoint directors or observers to the Epic board in the future. This is the latest of the division’s ongoing Section 8 enforcement efforts, which to date have unwound or prevented interlocks involving at least two dozen companies."

 Scott junior, chief product officer  stated at the Gamescom24 

   "So, it's one of the reasons we're coming out on PC first. There's a lot of optimisations we need to do before we release on the Xbox. But yeah, Xbox Series S is a challenge."."Unreal does a lot of the work for us in some ways. What we're more doing is optimisation of assets, and using various technologies, be it FSR or something else, to replicate frames. We want the game to look stunning on high-end, whether you have a 3070 or a 4090, but we also want it to look good... I don't think we've released our min-spec yet, but y'know powerful cards from a few years ago should be able to run the game. It should look good – it won't be able to leverage the ultra-spec options, but it'll still look nice."

Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO, HBO and Max Content, has stated Dune Prophecy season Two is in development at the Playlist;-

"Speaking at a recent conference call about what HBO has planned for the upcoming year, executive Casey Bloys talked about “Dune: Prophecy” and what its future might look like. According to Bloys, he’s already tasked show-runner Allison Schapker with breaking down what a possible Season 2 might look like.

“Allison is in the room with writers now breaking a possible Season 2, and we do have the books,” said Bloys. “It is based on the books.”

As for how many seasons Bloys feels like “Dune: Prophecy” could run for, considering he’s already talking about Season 2, the HBO boss explained that it really comes down to what feels like the right number according to the show-runner."
