Now,Vanity Fair has a first look at the new adaptation of “Dune,” with a newly released photo of the lead character, Paul Atreides, played by Timothée Chalamet. The image has Paul walking on his home planet of Caladan, right before he moves to Arrakis and the action starts. Interviewed by Vanity Fair, Chalamet gave more details on what to expect with Paul’s journey: Warner Brothers seem to have given Villeneuve carte-blanche to splatter whatever his art desires on the screen with this next movie. By all accounts, Villeneuve’s adaptation of Herbert’s “Dune” is the biggest risk of his career. As mentioned earlier, even Lynch failed miserably with his own film adaptation back in the 80s. And yet, I trust Villeneuve will do something very special with Herbert’s material. He has long been fascinated by the novel and what’s currently happening is very much a dream come true for him. Josh Brolin was added to the cast of the upcoming adaptation today, which already includes Oscar Isaac, Timothee Chalamet, Javier Bardem, Dave Bautista, Rebecca Ferguson, Charlotte Rampling, and Stellan Skarsgard. Production had already begun last spring and ended earlier this year in Budapest and Jordan. “Dune” is supposed to be released in theaters on December 18th. However, who knows if that date will stick since the COVID-19 pandemic is shaking up the entire industry at large and release dates have been shuffled all around because of it. It’ll all depend on when the public at large will be comfortable in being indoors, watching a movie in the dark with hundreds of other strangers, some of which will be coughing, with no sense of panic ensuing. That seems like a distant world away, but keep the faith, we all want this sort of normalcy to come back sooner rather than later, and upcoming films by Denis Villeneuve, Christopher Nolan, Wes Anderson, and Paul Verhoeven will hopefully get us all back to the cinema.
