Tim Blake Nelson, a Coen Brothers mainstay and the antagonist from Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, will join the cast in the second act of Villeneuve’s highly lauded adaptation of the Frank Herbert classic, which also stars Florence Pugh (Little Women, Black Widow), Austin Butler (Elvis), Léa Seydoux (The French Dispatch), and Christopher Walken (Batman Returns), among other recently announced actors. With a $400 million global box office haul after its October 22, 2021, release, Dune received 10 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, and took home six of them.

The first person to try his hand at Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, Jon Spaihts, collaborated with Villeneuve on the screenplay for the movie.

The plot of the book Dune centers on the conflict over the desert planet Arrakis, home to the Fremen tribe and a race of enormous cosmic sandworms that generate mélange, a spice that is necessary for interstellar travel. The emperor deposes House Harkonnen, a ruthless autocracy, and replaces them with House Atreides as rulers of Arrakis.

Duke Leto Atreides is killed by Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, who also drives his son Paul and his mother Jessica, a space witch known as a Bene Gesserit, from their home. They eventually join the Fremen in their quest to overthrow the harsh Harkonnen government and retake the world. If you find this interesting, please forward it to your friends.
