Empire bjuder på en ny bild av Timothée Chalamets karaktär Paul Atreides från Denis Villeneuves stekheta science fiction-epos Dune och vid det här laget börjar nog de flesta fans känna att det verkligen är dags för en trailer snart, men detta får tydligen lov att vänta. Istället passar filmskaparen på att diskutera karaktären han spelar och hur dennes resa på många sätt och vis kan jämföras med Gudfaderns tragiska huvudperson Michael Corleone:
"Paul has been raised in a very strict environment with a lot of training, because he's the son of a Duke and one day... he's training to be the Duke. But as much as he's been prepared and trained for that role, is it really what he dreams to be? That's the contradiction of that character. It's like Michael Corleone in The Godfather - it's someone that has a very tragic fate and he will become something that he was not wishing to become."
Han fortsätter:
"Like any young adult he is looking for his identity and trying to understand his place in the world, and he will have to do things that none of his ancestors were able to do in order to survive. He has a beautiful quality of being curious about other people, of having empathy, something that will attract him towards other cultures, and that's what will save his life."
Vad han menar med detta får vi se senare i november då den första delen av två släpps på bio. I övriga roller kan vi se stjärnor som Oscar Isaac (Duke Leto Atreides), Josh Brolin (Gurney Halleck), Rebecca Ferguson (Lady Jessica), Jason Momoa (Duncan Idaho), Stellan Skarsgård (Baron Harkonnen), Zendaya (Chani), Jason Momoa (Duncan Idaho), Javier Bardem (Stilgar), Charlotte Rampling (Reverend Mother Mohiam), David Dastmcalchian (Piter De Vries), Chang Chen (Dr. Yueh) ochDave Bautista (Rabban). Taggad på detta framtidsepos?
