Jason’s Dune Adventure: From Family Faves to Universe‑Busting Action
Meet the 41‑Year‑Old Lead
Jason, the actor starring as Duncan Idaho, splits his life between two young stars—Lola (13) and Nakoa‑Wolf (12)—and his wife, Lisa Bonet. He’s buzzing about the on‑screen magic he’s creating for the next big blockbuster, Dune.
Why the Cast Rocks
- Javier Bardem – the “dream” co‑star who left Jason star‑struck.
- Josh Brolin – “I love Brolin!” says Jason, thrilled to share the spotlight.
- Rebecca Ferguson – absolutely “killed it” in the role.
- Oscar Isaac – has become a new “man‑crush” for the audience.
A Nod to Timothee Chalamet
Jason describes his character as a “swashbuckling rebel” and the cinematic version of Han Solo, especially since he’s got a great rapport with the young star, Timmy.
The Sci‑Fi Fan’s Mindset
“Bro! Besides Game of Thrones, just to be in this world—it’s f beautiful!” Jason raved, soaking up the futuristic vibes.
Pleasure Not in 1984 Ricky‑Ridings
He admitted he’s never seen the 1984 Lynch flip‑down of the classic novel, opting instead to sculpt his own prep—fun memories with his mother over Gone with the Wind and a wild imagination of wrestling with Idaho’s spirit.
Family Gets a Piece of the Boom
Jason’s son couldn’t get enough of the Dune costumes and props. After the screening, the little actor got his hands on the movie’s swords—so much so, they broke!
