>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY, WE'RE BACK WITH THE STARS OF
"DUNE," TIMOTHEÉE CHALAMET AND ZENDAYA.
YOUR SCENES ARE PRIMARILY IN THE DESERT WITH EACH OTHER.
WHAT WAS THAT LIKE SHOOTING OUT THERE?
I UNDERSTAND YOU HAD TO SHOOT AT ODD HOURS.
>> YES, SOMETIMES IT WOULD GET SO HOT DURING THE DAY THAT
SOMETIMES YOU HAD TO SHOOT BETWEEN 5:00 A.M. AND 7:00 A.M.
AND 5:00 P.M. AND 7:00 P.M.
BECAUSE IT WOULD BE TOO DANGEROUS TO SHOOT OUTSIDE WITH
THE STEEL SUITS WE WERE WEARING WHICH COOL CHARACTERS IN THE
MOVIE BUT IN REAL LIFE ARE HOT.
>> Stephen: TALK ABOUT THE CHAFING.
HOW MUCH TALL COMPOUNDER.
>> A LOT OF TALCUM POWDER IN THE MORNING, AND YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.
>> Stephen: DID SAND GET IN YOUR OUTFITS?
>> IT'S PRETTY SEALED UP.
SOMETIMES YOU WANT IT.
>> YOU WANT SAND?
TO HAVE THE PROTECTION FROM THE SUIT BECAUSE
I REMEMBER, LIKE, DENIS' FIRST NOTE TO ME IS THE IDEA WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT THE CHARACTER AND HE SAID SHE WOULD MOVE THROUGH
THE ROCKS LIKE A GAZELLE, SHE'S ONE WITH HER HOME.
I WAS MIDDLE EAST, OKAY, GOT IT, I GOT TO LOOK COOL -- I WAS
IMMEDIATELY LIKE, OKAY, I GOT IT, I'VE GOT TO LOOK COOL.
I'VE GOT TO TRY MY BEST TO SLIDE OFF THINGS.
THAT'S WHEN YOU WANT THE SUIT SO YOU'RE NOT RIPPING YOUR SKIN
OFF.
BUT THERE WAS CHAFING FOR SURE.
>> Stephen: "DUNE" IS A COMING OF AGE STORY, A PSYCHOLOGICAL
THRILLER.
IN SOME REGARDS A PHILOSOPHICAL TREATISE.
WHAT IS THIS STORY TO YOU GUYS?
>> I FEEL LIKE IT'S ABOUT OPPOSITIONAL FORCES.
I THINK IT'S ABOUT FIGHTING FOR WHAT'S RIGHT, I THINK IT'S ABOUT
FIGHTING FOR WHAT'S RIGHT IN CONTEXT OF WHAT'S GONE WRONG,
WHETHER IN THE STORY THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE EXPLOITATION OF
ARRAKIS, THE EXPLOITATION OF THE PEOPLE.
FROM MY TUNNEL VISION POINT OF VIEW, IT'S A STORY OF A YOUNG
MAN BEING THRUST HAVE INTO A CIRCUMSTANCES WAY TOO SOON
WITHOUT EXPERIENCE TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE IT.
TRAGIC THINGS HAVE HAPPENED IN HIS FAMILY AND, SOMEHOW, THROUGH
PERSEVERANCE, THROUGH WORKING THROUGH HIS PERSONAL FEAR,
THROUGH THE BRAVERY OF THAT IS ABLE TO OVERCOME IT IN SOME WAY.
>> Stephen: IS THE SECOND HALF BEING MADE?
>> YO, WE'RE ASKING THE SAME QUESTION.
>> Stephen: SO YOU GUYS AREN'T BEING CONTACTED YET TO GO SHOOT
THE SECOND PART?
>> ISH.
>> Stephen:ISH?
BECAUSE THE TITLE PAGE DOES SAY "DUNE" PART ONE.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: LET'S SAY IT IS BEING MADE.
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO MOST IN THE SECOND HALF.
>> YOU PLAYING THE EMPEROR OF THE UNIVERSE.
>> Stephen: THAT'S MY MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION.
WHAT PART DO YOU THINK I SHOULD PLAY.
>> THE EMPEROR.
>> Stephen: THE EMPEROR, SADDAM THE IV, I BELIEVE.
>> WHOA, YOU KNOW.
>> Stephen: COME ON, NOW.
HE SAYS, I'M NO FAKE FAN.
>> Stephen: WE PLAY FAST, WE PLAY HARD HERE AT THE "LATE
SHOW" AND HERE'S WHERE IT GETS TOUGH.
ARE YOU READY FOR A GAME WE'RE CALLING DUNER OR LATER.
ARE THE THINGS I'M GOING TO NAME OLDER OR YOUNGER THAN DUNE, THE
BOOK.
>> 1965.
>> Stephen: IF YOU SAY SO.
OKAY.
REALLY SHOW OUR YOUTHFUL AGE HERE.
>> Stephen: "STAR WARS," DUNER OR LATER.
>> LATER.
>> Stephen: 1977, THIS IS TRUE.
SPIDER-MAN, DUNER OR LATER?
>> OH, I SHOULD KNOW THIS.
DO YOU KNOW?
>> I DON'T KNOW BUT I COULD GUESS.
>> OKAY.
DUNER.
>> Stephen: DUNER, 1962.
OKAY!
>> Stephen: >> Stephen: DUNE BUGGIES.
I'M A CITY BOY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S A DUNE BUGGY.

>> I GREW UP IN THE CITY!
>> Stephen: SO DID I!
I WOULD SAY -- WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?

BOOKS THAT ZENDAYA'S FATHER DOES.
>> 1989.
>> Stephen: NICELY DONE.
YOU WIN THE INTERVIEW.
DUNER, 1964, SLIGHTLY OLDER THAN "DUNE."
TIMOTHEÉE CHALAMET AND ZENDAYA COMBINED.
DUNER OR LATER?
( COUNTING ) >> CARRY THE ONE --
THAT, MY FRIEND, WOULD BE LATER.
>> Stephen: THAT IS CORRECT.
THAT IS CORRECT.
COMBINED, YOU ARE YOUNGER THAN "DUNE."
TIMOTHEÉE, ZENDAYA, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO TALK
TO US.
>> THANK YOU.
T WAS REALLY FUN.
>> Stephen: AGAIN, AS I TOLD DENIS, I THINK THIS IS A PERFECT
ADAPTATION.
EVERYONE SHOULD SEE IT ON THE BIG SCREEN, THEN WATCH IT AGAIN
ON HBO MAX, OKAY?
PLEASE.
IT'S IN THEATERS AND ON HBO MAX TOMORROW.
TIMOTHEÉE AND ZENDAYA.
THANKS, Y'ALL.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
