One of the most anticipated movies of the fall season is Dune. Based on Frank Herbert's hugely influential sci-fi novel, it tells the story of a son of a noble family, Paul Atreides (Timothy Chalamet), who travels to a dangerous planet where he finds himself in an epic battle over the planet's valuable resources. The movie is being directed by Denis Villeneuve, a Canadian filmmaker behind such movies as Sicario and Arrival. Villeneuve is quickly becoming one of the most exciting filmmakers in movies and his involvement with the ambitious project is where much of the excitement for Dune is coming from.
