Main Characters Revealed in NINE New Images from Denis Villeneuve’s ‘Dune’
We got our very first look at Denis Villeneuve‘s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune just yesterday, and today Vanity Fair has provided us with NINE more images from the film.
Villeneuve told the site, “I would not agree to make this adaptation of the book with one single movie. The world is too complex. It’s a world that takes its power in details.”
Yes, the plan is for the Blade Runner 2049 director’s adaptation to span at least two feature films, with this December’s movie adapting only the first half of Herbert’s epic novel.
Check out your first look at characters including Chani (Zendaya), Duke Leto Atreides (Oscar Isaac), Lady Jessica Atreides (Rebecca Ferguson), Gurney Halleck (Josh Brolin), Duncan Idaho (Jason Momoa) and Liet Kynes (Sharon Duncan-Brewster) down below.
The big-screen adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune also stars Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet as main character Paul Atreides, along with Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, David Dastmalchian, Stephen Henderson, Charlotte Rampling and Javier Bardem.
A mythic and emotionally charged hero’s journey, “Dune” tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence—a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential—only those who can conquer their fear will survive.
Villeneuve directed Dune from a screenplay he co-wrote with Eric Roth and Jon Spaihts.
Warner Bros. and Legendary will release Dune on December 18, 2020.
