'Dune' 2020 - First look images

[Thomas P 18,479]

Vanity Fair did an interview with members of the cast and crew of Dune, and released some first look images. 

If you're a cinefile like me, then this movie is perhaps the one you are looking forward to most this year.

"Timothée Chalamet remembers the darkness. It was the summer of 2019, and the cast and crew of Dune had ventured deep into the sandstone and granite canyons of southern Jordan, leaving in the middle of the night so they could catch the dawn on camera. The light spilling over the chasms gave the landscape an otherworldly feel. It was what they had come for.

“It was really surreal,” says Chalamet. “There are these Goliath landscapes, which you may imagine existing on planets in our universe, but not on Earth.”

They weren’t on Earth anymore, anyway. They were on a deadly, dust-dry battleground planet called Arrakis. In Frank Herbert’s epic 1965 sci-fi novel, Arrakis is the only known location of the galaxy’s most vital resource, the mind-altering, time-and-space-warping “spice.” In the new film adaptation, directed by Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 (two of my all time favourite movies ) filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, Chalamet stars as the young royal Paul Atreides, the proverbial stranger in a very strange land, who’s fighting to protect this hostile new home even as it threatens to destroy him. Humans are the aliens on Arrakis. The dominant species on that world are immense, voracious sandworms that burrow through the barren drifts like subterranean dragons.

...

“I would not agree to make this adaptation of the book with one single movie,” says Villeneuve. “The world is too complex. It’s a world that takes its power in details.”

Villeneuve is my favourite director working, Timothee is (clearly from my avi) my favourite actor working, Zendaya is another one of my favourites, and the rest of the cast is ****ing stellar. I also love Dune the book, and have wanted to see it get an actual good movie adaption, since the other ones suck, so if Villeneuve pulls this off, then we could have a modern day classic.
