Denis Villeneuve’s Dune Series just got more glamorous and tabu-tiful! Yes, you’ve heard it right. The makers of the 700 Million Plus franchise have roped in Bollywood’s evergreen starlet Tabu for a powerful recurring role. But Tabu’s return to Hollywood is not for a movie in the Dune prequel. Here’s everything we know about Tabu’s grand entrance into Dune: Prophecy.
Tabu, who is still reeling from the success of her hit chick heist movie ‘Crew’; She is stepping back into the world of Hollywood. She has been cast in a recurring role in the Max prequel series Dune: Prophecy.
What Is Dune: Prophecy About?
The series was first commissioned in 2019 titled “Dune: The Sisterhood.” The book “Sisterhood of Dune” by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson served as its inspiration. Under the official logline, “Dune: Prophecy follows two Harkonnen sisters as they battle forces that threaten the future of humankind and establish the fabled sect that will become known as the Bene Gesserit, 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides.” The story occurs in the expansive “Dune” universe created by acclaimed author Frank Herbert.
Tabu will play the role of Sister Francesca, which is a recurring role. “Strong, intelligent, and alluring, Sister Francesca leaves a lasting impression in her wake” is how the character is described. Her return to the palace upsets the delicate balance of power in the capital; she was once the Emperor’s great love.
