Schön! 47 | josh heuston in LOEWE

When chatting with Josh Heuston, one thing is for certain: he is a major science fiction fan. The actor chats with us from his London flat for his Schön! 47 cover story, where he’s dressed in knitwear by LOEWE, and is clearly relaxed and ready to discuss everything about the making of Dune: Prophecy. It’s a project that took up three years of his life and now he’s embracing the surreal feeling of returning back to some semblance of normality. “Going back to normal after filming is strange. You’re like, ‘Okay, where’s my sword and cape?’” he laughs, “But a project like this kind of ticks all the boxes.”

The show is set 10,000 years before the rise of Paul Atreides, the main character from the original Dune films. This show puts the women front and centre, focusing on two sisters, played by Emily Watson and Olivia Williams, who originate the clandestine Bene Gesserit matriarchal order as they weave their webs among the great houses. Joshua Heuston stars as Constantine Corrino, whose quest for his father’s approval starkly contrasts Paul Atreides’ relationship with his own father.

Naturally, Heuston is a science fiction fan. Opening up to Schön!, he says, “We’re not necessarily playing in one genre. It’s fantasy, it’s sci-fi, but it’s also a very intimate genre at the same time. It has elements of Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon, or something like that. It feels very medieval despite the sci-fi background.”

In Dune: Prophecy, Heuston’s Constantine Corrino is the illegitimate son of Emperor Javicco Corrino (played by Mark Strong). The character is in a transitional phase, battling personal demons such as substance abuse and grappling with the expectations imposed by his royal bloodline. Though he can’t reveal too much, Heuston hints that the series will explore the complex father-son dynamic amidst the political intrigue. It’s safe to say that, after chatting with Heuston, Dune: Prophecy is bound to captivate existing and new fans of the Dune franchise. Rising actor Heuston is just ready to welcome new viewers with open arms.
