Earlier this week, we got our hands on a batch of character posters promoting the October 22nd theatrical and HBO Max release of director Denis Villeneuve's Frank Herbert adaptation Dune. Now another batch of character posters have arrived online, and these ones feature Dave Bautista as the brutish "Beast" Rabban, David Dastmalchian as the twisted Piter De Vries, Sharon Duncan-Brewster as ecologist Doctor Liet Kynes, Charlotte Rampling as the emperor's truthsayer Reverend Mother Mohiam, Chang Chen as physician Dr. Yueh, and Stephen McKinley Henderson as Thufir Hawat, Master of Assassins for House Atreides. These posters can be seen below.
Dune stars Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides, "a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding" who
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.
The previous posters featured Chalamet's Paul; Oscar Issac as Paul's father Duke Leto Atreides; Rebecca Ferguson as Paul's mother Lady Jessica; Josh Brolin as troubadour-swordsman Gurney Halleck; Jason Momoa as swordmaster Duncan Idaho; Javier Bardem as helpful tribe leader Stilgar; Stellan Skarsgård as the villainous Baron Harkonnen; and Zendaya as Chani, "a mystery woman who haunts Paul in his dreams". They can be seen at THIS LINK.
Mary Parent and Cale Boyter produced Dune with Villeneuve, who directed from a screenplay he wrote with with Eric Roth and Jon Spaihts. Brian Herbert, Byron Merritt, Thomas Tull, and Kim Herbert served as executive producers. Kevin J. Anderson was the creative consultant.
I've never been a fan of the Dune property, so I can't say I'm hyped to check out this new movie, but I am interested in seeing it because of the awesome cast Villeneuve has assembled.
