New image shows Chang Chen as Dr Yueh in Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Dune







Here is our first look at Chang Chen (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, The Assassin) as Dr. Wellington Yueh in Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune. In David Lynch’s 1984 film adaptation, Dean Stockwell played the character.
A mythic and emotionally charged hero’s journey, “Dune” tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence—a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential—only those who can conquer their fear will survive.
So far the film has got an incredible cast and we saw many of them in photos released over the weekend:
- Timothée Chalamet – Paul Atreides
- Rebecca Ferguson – Lady Jessica
- Oscar Isaac – Duke Leto Atreides
- Josh Brolin – Gurney Halleck
- Jason Momoa – Duncan Idaho
- Charlotte Rampling – Reverend Mother Mohiam
- Zendaya – Chani
- Javier Bardem – Stilgar
- Dave Bautista – Glossu ‘Beast’ Rabban
- Stellan Skarsgård – Baron Harkonnen
Dune is currently still set to open this December.







Very cool.
