Is science fiction finally holding a quality adaptation with Dune, Denis Villeneuve's next project? The Canadian filmmaker is one of the most talented craftsmen of recent years. He tackles a recognized work of literature and finally reveals the first images. An effective trailer carried by an attractive cast and a striking atmosphere. Originally, Dune is a seminal science fiction novel written by Frank Herbert. The eccentric but no less talented David Lynch was at the helm of the first Dune film released in 1984. Burdened by a chaotic shooting and a particular post-production, the film does not meet the expected success. You can currently watch it on Netflix. Another visionary of the seventh art, Alejandro Jodorowsky, tried to stage his own vision of the saga but the project was aborted.

The director of the excellent First Contact has a unique chance to effectively transpose this epic tale. Villeneuve co-wrote the film with Eric Roth and Jon Spaihts. He has surrounded himself with quality creative teams. Alongside him is a two-time Oscar-nominated production designer, an award-winning editor and many other quality artists. The great Hans Zimmer is the composer at work on the score of the film. It tells the life of Paul Atreides, a young man who will have to face many obstacles. In order to save his bloodline, he must go to the most dangerous planet in the universe. A ruthless battle will pit terrible forces against each other. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc-0S8z1jFA&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=WarnerBros.France
A shower of stars alongside Timothée Chalamet
The actor is the figurehead of the new faces of the seventh art. We no longer count his successes with Call Be by your name, Les filles du docteur March… Oscar Isaac and Rebecca Ferguson play Paul Atreides' parents. The always effective Stekkan Skarsgard is part of the cast. He plays the key role of Baron Harkonnen. As can be seen in the trailer, it is an ideal choice. Zendaya, impressive in HBO's Euphoria series plays the role of Paul's concubine. A rising actress who should make sparks. You should know that Dune was shot in natural settings in Hungary and Jordan. Warner Bros. is the worldwide distributor of the project.
