Adding to the ever-expanding list of reputable actors joining this saga is Oscar-winner Javier Bardem, who will play Stilgar, the leader of a tribe that will help the lead character, played by Timothée Chalamet.
The rest of the cast includes Rebecca Ferguson, Stellan Skarsgard, Dave Bautista, Charlotte Rampling, Oscar Isaac, and Zendaya, and is expected to begin production next month in Europe, directed by “Blade Runner 2049” filmmaker Denis Villeneuve.
Here's a quick summary about 'Dune':
Set in the distant future, “Dune” follows Paul Atreides (Chalamet), whose family assumes control of the desert planet Arrakis. As the only producer of a highly valuable resource, jurisdiction over Arrakis is contested among competing noble families. After Atreides is betrayed, he leads a rebellion to restore his family’s reign.
