First Look at Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides in DUNE
Denis Villeneuve’s Dune is still slated for theatrical release on December 18th, 2020 and, today, Vanity Fair gave us our first look at Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides. Have a look-see.
Dune takes place in the year 10191, and centers on a spice called melange, the most valuable substance known in the universe, and its only source, the desert planet Arrakis. Arrakis is awarded to Duke Leto Atreides over his enemies, the Harkonnens. The Harkonnens then violently seize back Arrakis and it is up to Paul, Leto’s son, to lead the natives of Arrakis in a battle for control of the planet and its spice.
