Valonqar Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) So we have these characters cast: Lady Jessica Paul Atreides/Muad'dib Baron Vladimir Harkonnen Beast Raban Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam We need: Duke Leto Atreides Alia Stilgar Chani Feyd-Rautha Padishah Shadam IV Princess Irulan Gurney Halleck Duncan Idaho Thufir Hawat Shadout Mapes Doctor Yueh Piter de Vries Liet-Kynes Reverend Mother Ramallo Jamis Harrah (maybe but Jamis better be in cause that part is so emotional and super important for the Fremen portion of the story) Am I forgetting someone?

JGAR4LIFE Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 If the film starts shooting in March, we should expect A LOT of updates from now til then. Perhaps a large press release announcing the casting of remaining major characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, they won't need all characters, especially the Fremen set and Alia, though I expect that cut off is meeting Stilgar. And, of course, they'll need Chani for Paul's dream.

Macleod Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) One movie at a time, folks... you should feel lucky that this one is even going ahead. Next up: Kevin Hart cast as FEYD. *Seriously, though...can't wait to see who's gonna have to live down Sting's..."performance." 😉 Edited January 17, 2019 by Macleod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they follow the book, we meet Stilgar before that, when he is brought to Leto's presence by Duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember spitting (sign of great respect). I love that scene. Also when Lady Jessica gets the kryssknife. the friend of Jamis. and when Jessica asks Paul to just live happily with Chani and forget about Kwisatz Haderach business. Jessica and Stil are my faves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The daughter of Lady fenring and Feyd-Rautha plays no role in sequel books I read (Dune Messiah, Children of Dune) and is never mentioned again. And neither are the Fenrings.

The Futurist Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) I like Villeneuve alright but his movies are some of the most humorless that exist. Is he even aware of the concept ? Humour in French ? Wonder what scale and budget they are gonna choose for this because a 200-250m+ spectacle with the tone of other Villeneuve's movies, well ... good luck with that, BR 2049 producers are still bleeding... I mean you can't do Dune cheaply and small right ? like 150m ? 100m budget ? Even the Lynch version had some humor .... it was batshit insane but sill a bit of fun. I am not talking about making a Dune movie something too light/it s not but there s fine line to find between Villeneuve's Bleakness and over seriousness and Jurassic World/MCU movies/Aquaman. Only Nolan seems to have found that balance and pulling it off in big blockbuster filmmaking. And the Russos Bros of course.

Napoleon Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I started reading the book and I'm on page 75 and still have no clue what's this about, when it's going to start making sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This book was very popular, one of the best selling sci fi books of all time, it's certainly not something above my intelligence. I only started reading it, there's like more than 600 pages left. This was not a review, I was just telling you I started reading it yesterday and found it still confusing, with all the places and characters mentioned that make no sense to me yet. I don't know if I was once rude to you or something, if I was then I probably deserved this, but if I never said anything to you before I don't think it's very polite for you be insulting people like that. This is why people are leaving the internet. Edited January 19, 2019 by Napoleon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
