New Photo From DUNE Features Chang Chen as Doctor Yueh
We’ve got another photo to share with you today from Denis Villeneuve‘s two-part film adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune. This image offers us a look at Chang Chen (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, The Assassin) as Doctor Wellington Yueh.
Yueh is House Atreides' trusted physician. He has been imperially conditioned so that he is incapable of inflicting harm. He may have a small role, but he plays a very important part in the story.
Here’s the synopsis for the film:
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.
The film’s cast also includes Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides, Oscar Isaac as Duke Leto Atreides, Rebecca Ferguson as his mother Jessica, Josh Brolin as Gurney Halleck, Jason Momoa as Duncan Idaho, Stellan Skarsgard as Baron Harkonnen, Zendaya as Chani, Jason Momoa as Duncan Idaho, Javier Bardem as Stilgar, Charlotte Rampling as Reverend Mother Mohiam, David Dastmcalchian as Piter De Vries, Chang Chen as Dr. Yueh, and Dave Bautista as the Baron’s nephew Rabban.
Dune will be released on November 20th, 2020.
