All internet going back to 1995, one of the very, very first websites.
Matt BlumbergGUEST
So that one was a company called Moviefone.
Matt BlumbergGUEST
It was a top 50 web property in 1995 that was the internet's first movie website.
Matt BlumbergGUEST
And some real groundbreaking stuff in 1995, it was real-time aggregation of movie showtime data across the whole country.

Fast forward to February 2024, in an interview with The Playlist, Villeneuve said, "...it would make sense to go back one last time and finish the arc of Paul Atreides and Chani." And literally the next day, on February 29th, in an interview with Moviefone, Villeneuve described Frank Herbert's Dune as, quote, a last chapter of Paul Atreides' journey.
QuinnHOST
Then in October 2024, Deadline interviewed Villeneuve while he was writing the third film.
QuinnHOST
Deadline reports Villeneuve saying that the new movie, quote, will finish the Paul Atreides arc.

Because at the time, I assume that was just a whole job that existed, was people phoning to ask for train times and things like that.
DavidHOST
Dude, Moviefone changed the game of making it automated.
