Timothee Chalamet's first look from Denis Villenueve's "Dune" has been revealed and the actor seems to skilfully embody the inner turmoil of his character, Paul Atreides.
The much-anticipated film is an adaptation of Frank Herbert's 1965 classic novel of the same name.
Set in the distant future, "Dune" follows Paul Atreides (Chalamet), whose family assumes control of the desert planet Arrakis. After Paul and his family are betrayed, the story explores themes of politics, religion, and man's relationship to nature, as Paul leads a rebellion to restore his family's reign.
The first photo from the film was released by Vanity Fair on Monday and it features a stony-faced and brooding Chalamet walking along a grey and desolate beachwith mountains and flying transport ships in the background.
Talking about the character, the "Call Me By Your Name" star said, "The immediately appealing 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."
