![]() |
| Rebecca Ferguson is Lady Jessica of Arrakis |
White Queen will rule Arrakis.. or so it seems. According to 'Variety'
Rebecca Ferguson will join
Timothee Chalamet in big screen adaptation of
Frank Herbert's cult sf classic
DUNE to be helmed by
Denis Villeneuve for Legendary.
DUNE, set in the distant future, follows Paul Atreides, whose family assumes control of the desert planet Arrakis. As the only producer of a highly valuable resource, jurisdiction over Arrakis is contested among competing noble families. After Paul and his family are betrayed, the story explores themes of politics, religion, and man’s relationship with nature, as Paul leads a rebellion to restore his family’s reign. Chalamet would play Paul, but Ferguson won't be Princess Irulan from the house of Corrino nor Fremen concubine Chani, but Paul's mother Lady Jessica!
