With every raw name that ’s added to the casting of Denis Villeneuve ’s Dune , we get even more emotional about seeing the ruined product . The late to join is Charlotte Rampling , latterly nominated for an Oscar for 45 long time , but possibly most familiar to io9 reader for her role opposite Sean Connery in 1974 fad classicZardoz .
Rampling , a versatile actor who got her beginning as an uncredited supernumerary in 1964 ’s A Hard Day ’s Night , has also recently been seen in The Little Stranger , Red Sparrow , and Assassin ’s Creed . As The Hollywood Reporter first harbinger , her role in Dune will be “ the Reverend Mother Mohiam , the emperor ’s truthsayer , a person who can divine intentions , suss out Trygve Halvden Lie , and manipulate the great unwashed ’s excited land . ”
The business deal note that the project — with a cast that also includes the antecedently - announcedTimothée Chalamet , Rebecca Ferguson , Stellan Skarsgård , andDave Bautista(the latter reuniting with Villeneuve after playing a small but memorable role in the director ’s Blade Runner 2049)—will commence filming this spring , with Budapest and Jordan bear in for the desert planet Arrakis from Frank Herbert ’s classic novel .
