Dune 2
Screenwriter Eric Roth revealed to Collider he’s written a treatment for the second half of Dune but doesn’t believe he’ll write the screenplay.
I [wrote] a treatment to show the estate what we could do with the second half, but I’ve got to tell you that I think I’ve done as much as I can do. I also have other things I want to do. I’m 76 years old, and these things obviously take a long time to do. And so I have a few others I’m excited about. And hopefully people love Dune so much that they do want to have a second part, and I’m sure Denis would do amazing version of that.

The Mad Hatter

Russian Doll
Deadline reports Sharlto Copley has joined the cast of Russian Doll’s second season in an undisclosed role.
Star Trek: Picard
Meanwhile, Akiva Goldsman confirmed Jean-Luc Picard’s new android body is barely mentioned in season two.
It doesn’t. We did fundamentally try to address that at the end of 10. He’s not Super Picard. We reset this congenital problem he lived with since Next Gen and gave him the opportunity for rebirth, but it’s nothing more than a record as he might have been where he not here.

Moon Knight
Mad Gene Media — a production company started by Oscar Isaac and writer/director Elvira Lind — posted a training video set to Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing in the Name.” It shows off some of Isaac’s fight choreography from the upcoming Marvel TV series Moon Knight…fight choreography which appears to include lots of stabbing and neck-breaking.
