Having previously acted in movies like Interstellar and Men, Women & Children, as well as recurring on TV shows like Royal Pains and Homeland, 2017 was an especially big year for Timothée Chalamet, mainly for his performances as Elio Perlman in Call Me By Your Name and Kyle Scheible in Lady Bird.
He’ll next be seen in Beautiful Boy this October, but assuming that he signs on to Dune, this will be his first time leading a blockbuster production.
Timothée Chalamet is reportedly in final negotiations to board Denis Villeneuve’s Dune reboot, and according to Deadline, if a deal is reached, Chalamet would play main character Paul Atreides, who was portrayed by Kyle MacLachlan in David Lynch’s Dune movie and Alec Newman in the 2000 Dune TV miniseries and its 2003 sequel.
