Chalamet does not show his face in any of the videos on the channel, though you can see it pretty much everywhere these days.

On Friday, Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch, which features Chalamet, opened. The young actor is also the leading man in Dune: Part One, inarguably the biggest movie in the world right now. According to the box-office-tracking site Box Office Mojo, the film opened last week to a staggering (for the post-pandemic world) $40 million domestically. That’s on top of an impressive $180 million international cume. Yesterday, Legendary Pictures, the production company, officially announced the sequel, as if anyone had any doubts.

Not to brag (OK, maybe to brag a little bit), I got to see it a few weeks ago. Verdict: It’s pretty good! My advice? Watch it with a friend who’s read the books. Otherwise, you’ll be as lost as Chalamet’s character is during the plodding second act.
