Denis Villeneuve’sDuneReveals Its First Look at Paul Atreides

Thehero of the dunesis rising , but he may not be quick for the path laid out in front of him .

This morning , Vanity Fairshared the first look at Timothée Chalamet in Denis Villeneuve’sDune — playing Frank Herbert ’s untested Paul Atreides , whose neat destiny may very well terminate up being his downfall . In a unveiling picture from the Warner Bros. film , we see Chalamet as Paul Atreides on his aboriginal planet of Caladan as a pair of transport ship arrive to bring him to his newfangled home , Arrakis ( otherwise known as Dune ) . Here ’s the full trope .

Unlike Arrakis , which is essentially a elephantine desert with little water , the place Paul Atreides comes from is cold , moist , and easy . Full of water . It represents the stark dividing line between Paul ’s old life and his novel one , which will see him rise as the rescuer of Dune ’s people , the Fremen . But it ’s not your typical hero ’s journeying , as Chalamet explained in an consultation .

“ The immediately appeal 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 , ” he said .
