Director Leaves, Dune Prequel Filming Postponed

 After the success of the film Dune which was released in 2021, HBO Max did not hesitate to work on a series titled Dune: The Sisterhood. The series is a prequel to Dune which will tell about the mysterious origins of the Bene Gesserit. Currently, the series is being developed. But there is bad news with Dune: The Sisterhood.

Deadline recently reported that director Johan Renck has left the production after he directed the first two episodes of this Dune prequel. In addition, the main star Shirley Henderson who will play Tula Harkonnen also left this project. As a result, production on Dune: The Sisterhood was postponed as the studio had to find replacements for Renck and Henderson.

Previously, the project was also abandoned by co-showrunner Diane Ademu- John, who stepped down before filming. Ademu-John left Alison Schapker as sole showrunner. And recently, HBO Max has also shared an official statement, as you can see below.

“As Dune: The Sisterhood has entered its previously scheduled hiatus, there have been several creative changes made to the production in an effort to best create the series and stay true to the source material. Johan Renck has completed work on the series and a new director will be appointed, by mutual agreement, Johan continues to pursue other projects. Additionally, Shirley Henderson will be leaving the series and will no longer be playing Tula Harkonnen."

According to reports circulating, Renck decided to leave because of disagreements with HBO Max. Meanwhile, the reasons that made Henderson leave are still unknown. Some say that the constantly changing filming schedule for Dune: The Sisterhood disrupted Henderson's existing schedule, so he inevitably left because he had other projects to complete.

When the series was developed, Denis Villeneuve was expected to direct several episodes of Dune: The Sisterhood, while Jon Spaihts would co-write the script. But both of them refused to work on this series. The delay in this series seems to have an impact on the release, which seems to be even longer than we expected. Let's just wait for the latest information geeks later.

Violent Night Review: The Most Traumatic Christmas Eve

Imagine the song Silent Night but the calm and holiness of the night is replaced by chaos, gunshots, and traumatic scenes. Imagine the film Home Alone, where the villain doesn't just bump, fall down, and become the victim of the boy's pranks, but shatters into pieces so that the body parts are no longer intact. That's about the big picture of the film Violent Night, played by David Harbor. The Christmas film can be watched in all cinema networks. Spoiler alert! The title already explains the contents of the story of this film. But we don't witness the horror and brutality until the first quarter hour. This time is short enough to be filled with character introductions, world building, and typical Christmas movie moments: music, snow, and of course Santa Claus or Santa Claus. From year to year, this character has never been absent from Christmas movies either as a character or just simply mentioned. Various films have also often reported that this figure is not real and
