One of the most popular science fiction novels of the twentieth century, "Dune" tells the story of a young aristocrat Paul Artreides (Timothy Chalamet), forced into hiding in the desert of the planet Arrakis.

With the help of the Aboriginal inhabitants of the desert, the young man dreams of regaining the honor of his family and defying the empire. Rampling will play Reverend Mother Mohiam, a man who can predict intentions, recognize lies and manipulate the emotional state of people. The script for the movie was written jointly by Villeneuve, Eric Roth and John Spates. Filming will begin this spring and will take place in Budapest and Jordan.
