Josh Brolin sure has written a lot of poems about Dune/Timothée Chalamet
Brolin's putting out a new book, Dune: Exposures, this week, featuring behind-the-scenes photos and poems about his co-workers
When Josh Brolin set himself the task of playing Dune badass Gurney Halleck—one of the great “warrior poets” in all of science fiction, crafted by author Frank Herbert as one part killer, one part rock star—he doesn’t appear to have half-assed the process. Which is to say that, it’s now clear that Brolin spent quite a bit of his time on the set of Denis Villeneuve’s two adaptations of Herbert’s classic novel—the latter of which comes out on March 1—in his own warrior-poet mindset, crafting what we would conservatively—with no judgment!—call kind of a lot of poems about filming, Dune, and Timothée Chalamet. Which we know, because he’s putting out a book of them, including one apparently about Chalamet in which Brolin writes of his “cheekbones,” “youth-laden eyes,” and “lips of a certain poetry.”
