Talking about his film’s leading man, the 52-year-old filmmaker during an interview said: “He has deep intelligence in his eyes and has an old soul … yet he looks so young on camera.”

“The contrast of someone who seems to have a lot of experience but at the same time is in the middle of his teenage years, that’s Paul Atreides,” The Hollywood Reporter quoted Villeneuve as saying.

The Warner Bros sci-fi feature is slated to hit the theatres on December 18 this year.
