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

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. (For evidence, we’ll point to the following 2022 Late Show With Stephen Colbert clip of Brolin reading one of his poems from a book, referred to as The Art And Soul Of Dune, which features a cover extremely similar to the one Amazon has displayed for Exposures. In addition to Brolin’s writing (which he told Variety this week is, “tongue-in-cheek, sometimes it’s descriptive, sometimes it’s a dialogue and sometimes it’s a poem”), the book also features numerous pictures from the Dune movies’ director of photography, Greg Fraser, showing behind-the-scenes images from the sand-swept epics.
