Timothee Chalamet is off for great things this year. His recent projects Wonka and Dune: Part Two have earned massive dollars and are acclaimed cementing his status as actor extraordinaire. They have now landed him a lucrative deal with production company, Warner Bros
The star signed a multi-year first-look agreement with Warner Bros after topping the box office charts with recent films Wonka and Dune: Part Two. The success made him become the first actor in four decades to star in the top two domestic films that were released in eight months, according to the studio.
Both films have earned nearly $1.3 billion combined. Timothee Chalanet said in a statement that he looked forward to collaborating with the studio again. ‘These are studio heads who believe in real movie making, and I’m so grateful for their support as an actor, producer and collaborator. This partnership feels like a natural next step. Let’s go!.’
In a statement released Tuesday about the deal, Warner Bros co-chairs and CEOs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy said they were ‘thrilled that Timothée has chosen our studio to be his creative home. ‘Over the last few years, we have admired not only Timothée’s commitment to his craft, which is evident in the range and depth of his varied roles but also his unwavering dedication to giving 100% of his time and attention to every project he has made here at Warner Bros. and elsewhere,’ they continued.
‘His collaboration on the campaigns for Dune and Wonka is something we all enjoyed immensely, and the results speak for themselves,’ the executives concluded. The first-look deal allows the Lady Bird star to look for projects he’s interested in, with Warner Bros. getting the first option to back it. Timothee Chalamet is starring as young Bob Dylan in the biopic, A Complete Unknown currently in the making
The actor has been working with a voice coach and will sing some of Dylan’s songs in the film, according to People. ‘It’s kind of astonishing because going from the Wonka character to Bob Dylan, it’s a completely different character, a completely different voice, everything — and he does it,’ vocal coach Eric Vetro told the outlet. ‘He could turn on a dime. He’s so talented that he can just switch into one role or the other quickly.’
