And not even The Hollywood Reporter was able to unearth information on the character Nelson is playing in the film.

Scripted by Villeneuve, Eric Roth, and Jon Spaihts, Dune: Part One (watch or buy it Here) stars Timothée Chalamet as 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.

Gumball Rally is a 1976 laffer about a coast-to-coast auto race with no rules – rather like Can-Am racing with less horsepower. A rich candy manufacturer, overcome with ennui, gets his car enthusiast pals together for the rally – which he hopes will liven up his humdrum life.

It’s a car-chase movie, so you know there is a hitch. In this case, the hitch is a bumbling L.A. cop who has made a career out of trying to apprehend the racers. You can bet your greasy camshaft that he will try and shut down the race at any cost. Never mind

Chalamet told Variety, “Florence is really special. She’s an incredible actor. She was incredible in (Dune: Part Two) — seriously incredible. She brought a gravitas to the role. And I can’t believe my good fortune at this young age…between (acting with) Taylor Russell in Bones and All and Zendaya in Dune. And Austin Butler’s in (the Dune sequel) too.“

Buffalo Bill and the Indians

Buffalo Bill and the Indians
Do audiences ever ask for a History Lesson? Robert Altman gives them a smart, if diffuse, image of America as a showbiz invention, commercialized and packaged. Paul Newman is the prepackaged white hero surrounded by a jolly circus; Buffalo Bill’s trick seems to be to get his colleagues, the dispossessed minorities and especially the vanquished Native Americans to cooperate with his self-aggrandizing fantasy. One of Altman’s better scattershot ensembles sketches an amusingly hollow Buffalo Bill in Paul Newman, but the director’s style keeps emotional involvement at arm’s length… make that telephoto lens’ length.
