Last week we heard that Jason Momoa was set to take on the role of Duncan Idaho in Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming remake of Frank Herbert’s Dune. Now Legendary Pictures has announced the movies release date.
The movie is set to drop on November 20, 2020.
For those not familiar with the project here’s brief synopsis.
In the year 10191, a spice called melange is the most valuable substance known in the universe, and its only source is the desert planet Arrakis. A royal decree awards Arrakis to Duke Leto Atreides and ousts his bitter enemies, the Harkonnens. However, when the Harkonnens violently seize back their fiefdom, it is up to Paul (Kyle MacLachlan), Leto’s son, to lead the Fremen, the natives of Arrakis, in a battle for control of the planet and its spice. Based on Frank Herbert’s epic novel.
Dune is set to star Timothee Chalamet in the lead role of Paul Atreides. He will be joined by Javier Bardem as Stilgar, Zendaya as Chani, Oscar Isaac as Duke Leto Atreides, Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica, Stellan Skarsgard as Baron Harkonnen, Dave Bautista as “The Beast” Rabban and Charlotte Rampling as the Reverend Mother.
