About ‘Dune’
Dune, based on the novel by Frank Herbert, tells the story of Paul Atreides, played by Timothée Chalamet, who has prophetic visions. When his family moves to Arrakis to support their future, they begin overseeing the spice harvest. However, tensions heighten on the dangerous planet because the spice is the most precious resource and is highly coveted.
Dune is directed by Denis Villeneuve and stars Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Zendaya, David Dastmalchian, Chang Chen, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, Charlotte Rampling, Jason Momoa, and Javier Bardem.
While the movie is meant to have a sequel, Warner Bros. has not made an official announcement on Dune: Part Two. The future of the franchise could depend on the first installment’s box office and streaming performance.
Dune
Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence-a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential-only those who can conquer their fear will survive.
