In the Hand of Dante is based on Nick Tosches’ book of the same name, and the action kicks off when the original manuscript of Dante’s The Divine Comedy emerges on the black market. The mob calls a weary scholar Nick to authenticate it, but he can’t resist the temptation to steal it for himself.

His choice takes him on a dark and violent path, where Nick and Dante’s timelines weave separate paths, but with many similarities that tie them together, as they lose themselves chasing love, beauty, and the very promise of the divine. 

Oscar Isaac, Jason Momoa, and Gerard Butler will head to Italy to film this project, which landed an interim agreement from SAG-AFTRA allowing them to film during the actors’ strike. Oscar nominee Julian Schnabel is coming on board as a director and one of the executive producers, along with Isaac through his production company Mad Gene Media, and Martin Scorsese alongside DreamCrew, Screen Capital/Screen One, and Tribune Pictures.

Guillermo Del Toro is fresh off the success of his Oscar-winning animated film Pinocchio, and he’s set his eye on several new projects. Shortly after it was announced he was working on the animated adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Buried Giant, it turned out he was planning to bring another great novel to the screen.

Toro’s Frankenstein is in the early stages of development and he’s still working on the script at Netflix. Garfield, Isaac, and Goth are yet to get formal offers, but it’s been reported that Del Toro met with all three and they all expressed interest to star in this project.

Frankenstein is one of Del Toro’s passion projects and he wanted to direct it since he was a child. He’s been plotting this film for years, but was never in the hurry to get it done, telling Digital Spy, “You have one shot in your lifetime at these things and I don’t want to do it the wrong way.”

The premiere of Dune was a star-studded affair, mostly because it stars some of Hollywood’s biggest A-listers, including Timothée Chalamet, Oscar Isaac, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, and Dave Bautista, who walked the red carpet alongside Villeneuve.

After the end credits rolled, the highly-anticipated film was met with a standing ovation, that roared through Venice’s Sala Grande cinema for eight minutes straight. The jury member Chloé Zhao even rushed through the aisles to congratulate Villeneuve and called the movie fantastic.

Dune is also slated to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival before heading to theaters on October 22nd. Its sequel is yet to get the green light, but Villeneuve already discussed it with Warner Bros. and Legendary.

“They feel that it would need a really bad outcome at the box office to not have a Dune: Part Two because they love the movie. They are proud of the movie, so they want the movie to move forward. And they still did half of it. So, you know, I’m very optimistic,” he told Total Film.

The series is a remake of the original 1973 miniseries written and directed by Ingmar Bergman. Scenes From a Marriage was based on Bergman’s own relationship with Liv Ullmann and it followed a wealthy married couple across a decade with everything from the relationship’s ending to the reconciliation.

The modern-day adaptation is co-created, written, and directed by Hagai Levi. This version aims to re-look at the show’s depiction of intense emotions, marriage, and divorce through the eyes of a contemporary American couple.

Chastain and Isaac previously worked together on A Most Violent Year. Chastain replaced Michelle Williams, who exited due to scheduling conflicts. This will be the actresses’ first notable TV appearance since the start of her career. She’s next set to star in The Eyes of Tammy Faye.

Isaac’s next roles are in Dune and The Card Counter.

Chastain and Isaac will also be executive producing with Michael Ellenberg, Amy Herzog, Lars Blomgren, Daniel Bergman, and Blair Breard.

The series will debut on HBO on September 12. Watch the trailer below.

Vanity Fair shared exclusive photos of the highly-anticipated adaptation of Frank Herbert’s iconic novel, which shows several of the film’s biggest stars – including Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, and Oscar Isaac – in character.

Dune is expected to premiere on December 18th, and Villeneuve is hoping its date won’t be shifted. He’s proud of the work everyone put into this project and he’s looking forward to sharing it with the world. “Many of these people are like family to me, and they’re very much in my thoughts. I’m so proud to showcase their hard work. I look forward to a time when we can all get together again as Dune was made to be seen on the big screen,” the director told Vanity Fair.

Villeneuve also revealed he decided to split the original novel into two films, because its world is too complex, and he wouldn’t have agreed to work on it otherwise.

The two, who are no strangers to the stage, will star in the off-Broadway production announced by the company Tuesday. 

Tony award-winning Sam Gold, who directed Isaac in the title role of “Hamlet” and Gerwig in “The Village Bike” is set to stage the play, which details life in a Russian town through the eyes of the Prozorov sisters.

The latest casting news are that Oscar Isaac is in talks to star in a lead role. 

The upcoming Dune reboot comes from Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 filmmaker Denis Villeneuve. Adapting the 1965 science-fiction novel by Frank Herbert to the big-screen is Villeneuve who will co-write the script with Eric Roth and Jon Spaihts.

Should he join, Isaac will star opposite the previously announced Timothee Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Stellan Skarsgard, and Charlotte Rampling. 

Issac is in talks to star as Duke Leto Atreides, father to Chalamet’s character Paul Atreides. Ferguson has been cast as Chalamet’s mother, Lady Jessica, while Skarsgard has been cast as the family’s nemesis Baron Harkonnen.

The reboot is the latest adaptation to the sci-fi novel but far from being the first. First to try was director Alejandro Jodorowsky in the ‘70s. Then came David Lynch’s adaptation in 1984 and finally the most recent adaptation in the form of a mini-series for SyFy.
