AceShowbiz – Warner Bros. Pictures has unveiled the first look at “Dune” remake to tide fans over the upcoming release of the movie. Making its way out via Vanity Fair, the photo gives the spotlight to the lead character, Timothee Chalamet’s Paul Atreides, the scion of House Atreides.
In the image, the central hero is featured on his native planet of Caladan. The young royal looks gloomy as he strolls the shores, with some transport ships descending to take the Atreides leadership to their new destination, according to the site.

Timothee Chalamet’s Paul Atreides strolls the shores in his native planet of Caladan.
In the new adaptation of Frank Herbert’s 1965 sci-fi novel of the same name, the story begins as 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.
Describing his character, Chalamet says “the protagonist is on an anti-hero’s-journey of sorts,” thus explaining his somber expression in the photo. He continues, “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.”
Upon their arrival in Arrakis, the Atreides family will face the opposition of the brutal rival House Harkonnen, “which seeks to exploit the desert world they are about to inherit.” Paul’s parents Duke Leto and Lady Jessica Atreides, played by Oscar Isaac and Rebecca Ferguson (II) respectively, “must not only manage the spice mining on Arrakis, but also the politics at play in the broader galaxy.”
Finding himself at the center of an intergalactic power struggle, Paul has to accept his fate as a sort of hero to protect his family. Being taught the ways of war by a veteran soldier named Gurney Halleck, played by Josh Brolin, he will be revealed to possess powers even his trainers could not anticipate.
“Dune” is directed by Denis Villeneuve with a screenplay by Eric Roth, Jon Spaihts and Villeneuve. It is scheduled for a December 18 released in the U.S. ” ‘Dune’ was made by people from all over the world. Many of these people are like family to me, and they’re very much in my thoughts,” says Villeneuve. “I’m so proud to showcase their hard work. I look forward to a time when we can all get together again as Dune was made to be seen on the big screen.”
