Bosco685 Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 Quote The first step of a hero’s journey sometimes begins with a push. At the start of Frank Herbert’s science fiction epic Dune, the young royal Paul Atreides prepares to leave the comfortable life he knows for a desolate, dangerous mining planet known as Arrakis, where his wealthy family will oversee extraction of a spice vital to the galaxy. If he only knew the chaos and death that awaited him, he might be even more sorry to leave. This is the first look at Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides on his native planet of Caladan from this December’s film version of the novel, directed by Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 filmmaker Denis Villeneuve. The 1965 book was so seismic in its influence that its echoes still turn up in sci-fi and fantasy storytelling half a century later. Still, it has stubbornly defied appropriate adaptation itself. Tomorrow, Vanity Fair will provide an even more expansive exploration of Villeneuve’s quest to bring Dune to the screen, but today we begin with the central hero: Paul Atreides, a child of privilege raised by a powerful family, but not one strong enough to protect him from the dangers that await. As the Atreides family leaves the oceanic world of Caladan to take over scorching Arrakis, they are also becoming prey to the brutal rival House Harkonnen, which seeks to exploit the desert world they are about to inherit. House Atreides is just one more part of the landscape to annihilate. “The immediately appealing thing about Paul was the fact that in a story of such detail and scale and world-building, the protagonist is on an anti-hero’s-journey of sorts,” Chalamet said. In other words, he’s not dreaming of adventure. He’s resisting it. Afraid of it. “He thinks he’s going to be sort of a young general studying his father and his leadership of a fighting force before he comes of age, hopefully a decade later, or something like that.” Chalamet said. But fate has a different timetable for him. And he may possess powers even his trainers could not anticipate. In the shot above, the transport ships descend to take the Atreides leadership to their new destination. At this point, Paul is being taught the ways of war by a veteran soldier named Gurney Halleck, played by Josh Brolin. Paul’s parents, Duke Leto and Lady Jessica Atreides (Oscar Isaac and Rebecca Ferguson), must not only manage the spice mining on Arrakis—but also the politics at play in the broader galaxy.

▫️ Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 This is my most anticipated movie on the horizon with TENET being number two. But it’s IMAX or nothing so the Rona needs to go dormant. Bosco685, Mr Sneeze and The Brain 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 6 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) The group photo gives off a bit of a new Battlestar Galactica vide to me - which isn’t necessarily bad. I can’t hit the “like” enough times on these photos. I really hope this film doesn’t get delayed as I don’t think I could stand it. edit to add: and I LOVE that the still suits are reminiscent enough of the ‘84 Dune to be homage but different enough to be original in their own right.
