Denis Villeneuve‘s adaptation of Dune has done some terrific casting as of late. The reboot already has Timothee Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Stellan Skarsgard, Dave Bautista, and Charlotte Rampling. And if that wasn’t impressive enough, it will be adding Oscar Isaac in a pivotal role.
According to reports, the Star Wars actor will be joining the film as Duke Leto Atreides, the father of Paul Atreides (set to be played by Chalamet). More on the report below.
It looks like Greta Gerwig has found her next directorial effort following her Academy Award-nominated Lady Bird. According to new reports, Gerwig is in talks to direct a retelling of the coming of age novel Little Women.
The film looks to also feature a star-studded ensemble cast, with Meryl Streep, Emma Stone, Florence Pugh, and her Lady Bird stars Saoirse Ronan and Timothee Chalamet all in talks for roles. More on the story below.
The film is a coming of age story, following Daniel Middleton (Chalamet) as he spends a summer on Cape Cod, falls for a girl (Monroe), and lands a summer gig teaming up with a drug dealer (Roe).

Going to the theater during the summer can become fairly overwhelming with the release of multiple superhero blockbusters. These powerhouse movies tend to take the spotlight away from the modest, character-driven films that grace the screens; however, it looks like IFC Midnight has managed to find a compelling and unique way to incorporate the use of superpowers into a small-scale, powerful family drama with One & Two — and it looks very promising.
You can check out the trailer for One & Two here below.
