Timothee Chalamet absorbed the Dune universe in a bid to work with director Denis Villeneuve, whom he’d admired from afar.
The actor told Deadline of his quest, “I kept trying to put myself in front of him, but I didn’t really get a sense of the possibility of working with him.”
He was so obsessed, “as soon as Denis got involved, I set up a Google alert and that’s when I got the book,” Chalamet admitted.
