Everyone loves a bit of Jason Momoa, and Denis Villenueve is no exception – adding the “Aquaman” star to the cast of his upcoming remake of “Dune”. The cast of the film is already on point, including Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Dave Bautista, Stellan Skarsgård, Charlotte Rampling, Javier Bardem, and Josh Brolin.
The script was written by Villeneuve, Eric Roth and Jon Spaihts. Momoa is set to play Duncan Idaho. The film is an adaptation of Frank Herbert’s bestselling novel “Dune”.
Set in the distant future, “Dune” tells the story of Paul Atreides, whose family accepts control of the desert planet Arrakis. As the only producer of a highly valuable resource, control of Arrakis is highly contested among the noble families. 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 control of Arrakis.
