Bautista will be joining the previously cast Timothee Chalamet and Rebecca Ferguson.<\/p>\n<p>Set in the far future, <strong>Dune<\/strong> centers on the desert planet Arrakis, the only known source of a spice which is vital to interplanetary space travel. Chalamet will star as Paul Atreides, the son of a nobleman who has been placed in charge of spice production of Arrakis by the the Padishah Emperor, Shaddam IV. Ferguson will be playing Paul&#8217;s mother, Lady Jessica, a member of a religious order who believe that Paul may be a prophesied messiah.<\/p>\n<p>Bautista has been cast as &#8220;The Beast&#8221; Rabban, the sadistic nephew of the head of House Harkonnen, the political rivals of House Atreides.<\/p>\n<p><em>Dune<\/em> is a tough novel to adapt, as previous attempts have demonstrated. It is a sprawling, complex work that deals with grand themes of environmentalism, religion and political intrigue. It is also a very internal novel, a fact that director David Lynch wrestled with in his 1984 adaptation to various degrees of success. But Villeneuve has a pretty good sense for cinematic science-fiction that works with weighty themes like those found in <em>Dune<\/em>. So here&#8217;s hoping that his experience will help bring a worthy adaptaion of the material to big screen.<\/p>\n<p>Via Hollywood Reporter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">The GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY co-star is the latest addition to the cast of the BLADE RUNNER 20149 director&#8217;s latest project.<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2019\/01\/07\/dave-bautista-signs-on-to-denis-villeneuves-dune\/\" title=\"Dave Bautista Signs On To Denis Villeneuve&#8217;s DUNE\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[5986,2764],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-45778","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news","7":"tag-dave-bautista","8":"tag-dune"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[2],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45778","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45778"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45778\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45778"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45778"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45778"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=45778"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
