The news that Timothee Chalamet could possibly be playing Paul Atreides in Denis Villeneuve’s new Dune film has recieved a mixed reaction. While many are thrilled, many also are not.

When the news broke on twitter many voiced their opinions. Most Chalamet fans were thrilled of course. But a lot of Dune fans were unhappy.

The disappointment was mostly sounded like this:

No, no. Too weird. — Zhen zhen (@love_zhennn) 16 July 2018

Please lawd no! — Joe Jejune ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@JoeJejune) 16 July 2018

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! — Angel Sala (@aangelsala) 16 July 2018

Once the ‘no’s’ were vented. People began to articulate longer reasons as to how they felt.

I would rather this movie star literally anyone else. https://t.co/CFcrRpFwuA — Sonny Bunch (@SonnyBunch) 16 July 2018

Welp, the Dune remake is shaping up to be a trainwreck. So much for averting the White Savior narrative by casting a black actor. — Social Justice Crab (@nightofthecrabs) 17 July 2018

No. Please. Even jar jar binks lizard ass face would be better than this guy. — indira (@indiraiman) 17 July 2018

Why does Paul Atreides have to look like a boy band member? — Circling The Drain (@GeraintRees9) 17 July 2018

Some even directly messaged Chalamet to plead that he not play the role.

Don’t do it Timmy 🤦‍♀️ @RealChalamet — Zhen zhen (@love_zhennn) 17 July 2018

No! God! No! — Детектор пумпа (@detectorpumpa) 17 July 2018

Please no. Just no. — András (@rainbowandras) 17 July 2018

After the announcement many have already lost confidence in the project due to the possible casting announcement directing their dissapointment directly at ‘Legendary,’ the company producing the movie.

I suppose @Legendary will be surprised that Dune doesn’t make them any money. Hey Legendary, IT’S DUNE — Anthony Schwass (@egnaroja) 17 July 2018

Some of the negative feedback even said the casting was ‘perfect’ for all the wrong reasons.

Honestly: perfect casting (for a white framing/telling of dune). — PalmcrashValentine (@yerbasuena) 16 July 2018

This. I really fear that this will be a Eurocentric vision of humanity’s future. — ReadingDoonesbury (@ReadDoonesbury) 16 July 2018

Either way. Timothee Chalamet fans will be pleased.
