Dune: Book, Movie, Miniseries.

Teenagers are difficult to work with on a movie set. There are all kinds of rules and laws when it comes to working with minors that make shooting a film with them as a main character troublesome. It is also difficult to find teenage actors with the amount of experience casting directors are usually looking for. There is also the added problem, in case you are doing a franchise or series, of how fast they age.
Tova:
Taika Waititi seems to have a knack for successfully casting young actors into his excellent films.
They could have shot both films now if they were concerned about aging actors.
On the other hand, I doubt that Timothée Chalamet gets into many pubs or bars without being challenged to show ID. So I don't think his casting is totally inappropriate.

The Harry Potter movies demonstrate that these problems are manageable.
hedgie:
And there are some directors who are quite able to work well with young people, and get amazing performances. Look at the Swedish films "We Are The Best", and "Fucking Åmal", for example.
sitnspin:
The problems are obviously not insurmountable, but given the option it is unsurprising that most productions would rather avoid them altogether when possible.
