Timothée Chalamet on epic Dune film & why ZENDAYA wants to learn French before Part Two! INTERVIEW

Fresh off a Venice Film Festival premiere (literally the morning after), Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya and director Denis Villeneuve chat with Tara Hitchcock about their new epic, sci-fi adventure DUNE. Tara offers to start a GoFund Me account to get Part Two made (hopefully it will be greenlit before opening in theaters 10/22) and the two stars talk about responsibility and the skills they'd love to learn if they had the time!

I raced to get these up! More cast interviews coming (including the PHENOMENAL Rebecca Ferguson, Stellan Skarsgärd and Jason Momoa). SO fun to get at least 4 minutes with star Timothée Chalamet (OMG - he's incredible in this!), Zendaya (perfect - per usual), and director Denis Villeneuve. I'm manifesting a Part Two now #fingerscrossed! I hope you enjoyed these (thank you so much for watching in the first place) and feel free to SUBSCRIBE so you can be the first to see the rest when I get them on.

We're all excited about DUNE and about seeing Timothee and Zendaya doing press together ahead of the film, but I don't think you're getting enough love for how skilled you are as an interviewer! Excellent question choice, great job directing the conversation, you let the actors speak without interruption and you are so engaging throughout! This is how we should all aspire to interview! Taking notes!

[@Lovely.tttt300]

I was waiting for I think around 2/3? years to see Zendaya and Timothée’s dynamic since this movie cast was announced and it’s so sweet to see now they are the best! They really are the young actors in Hollywood that represent to me comfort and sincerity. Feels like they just have no ego; are relatable and very refreshingly honest in their communication.

[@Simplychiara1991]

I actually felt zendaya's ego in this one pretty strongly. I fet like she didn't like too much not being at the center of the spotlight in this specific occasion? Part of the interview is cut in this video but in the whole version you can see how the interviewer addresses Timmy first for the second question and Zendaya kinda interrupts him before he can even start, after side eyeing him ( which can be seen at the beginning of the video). I love Zendaya, this is just me overanalyzing most likely but still - I can't shake the feeling that she's a bit jealous of Timmy - I feel like she partly admires him and partly feels a tinge of genuine jealousy for not being where he is and not getting his same recognition - at least in this specific context where clearly, he's the lead of the movie

[@karabokhanyile]

@@Simplychiara1991 I'm sorry but if that's what you think then you should see the way she was with Spiderman Homecoming press tour,she's not jealous cause if she is then it means she was also jealous of Tom and crew which isn't true despite the fact that she had even less screentime in Hoco She interrupted because she wanted to speak her thoughts before she forgets cause she knew she was next to asnwer the same question besides that Timothee was still thinking about his answer so I don't get why are bothered by that They are friends and wouldn't have been paired together if interviewers wanted only Timmy to get the "spotlight"

I agree, I honestly do not feel much ego coming from either of them. I've always admired z bc she seems like such a gracious, grateful person. she never complains about anything and is always so professional and upstanding. she just sticks to herself and works hard and doesn't bother anyone. same with Tom Holland and Timothee. those three are really giving me hope for the future of hollywood.

Hearing Timothee asked alot of questions and Denis stating he's intellectual is further impressing on me that he was the perfect casting for Paul.

[@heatherbukowski2102]

for beautiful boy he showed up to the audition with the book fully read and annotated and he watched documentaries of addiction to learn how addicts behave so yeah, he's a researcher. he read all of dune before interviewing with denis, too.

[@aserr5660]

@@heatherbukowski2102 he was half way through reading Dune when Denis invited him to the Cannes film festival to speak to him about the role for Paul. He said the first half of his copy was filled with annotations before he started filming. I imagine he asked alot of questions of Denis to make sure he was portraying the character correctly. It must have also helped that they both speak French.

I get you want to throw out interesting and thought provoking questions to get som unique and real moments from the actors/director but from the beginning these curveballs q’s really just put awkward pressure on them. “Tell us a time someone said exactly what you needed to hear?” That really puts someone on the spot doesn’t it? That is like an essay question that requires some time to dig into your memory to think of something. Can YOU answer that question off the top oft our head? I can’t. The young actors tried their best to ramble off something that sounded meaningful enough that they thought would satisfy. Bless their hearts.
