Speaking of child actors, actors who play children in their late 20s, and ATJ intersecting: Thomas Brodie-Sangster was real fine in Queen's Gambit.

Remember when we were talking about actors way too old to play teenagers still playing teenagers? This has to be some new kind of record.

Just rewatched To Sleep with Anger and man, even if they don't get big features anymore, having Charles Burnett and Danny Glover do a film together is something I'm so glad happened. I saw they're potentially re-releasing Burnett's The Annihilation of Fish which is basically lost media and has both James Earl Jones and Margot Kidder. God I wish Burnett had the career he deserved. What a talent.

I'm wondering how they're gonna handle Paul/Alia in Messiah if Denis ever gets around to it. She's supposed to be what, 16 years younger than Paul and Anya is like 6 months younger than Timmy C. He's gonna be like "yes, here I am, a 45 year old man, definitely believable.

What's the time jump in the books? They could make Paul be Chalamet's actual age now and have ATJ be his younger sister of an indeterminate age. Even though she looks older than him. Doesn't the character age quicker than normal as well? Or is that just her mind? But I think I recall her being like an older kid when she did that thing to that guy with the thing and that was 4 years after she was born.

I thought it was kind of the reverse. For 1000 reasons basically all the child characters were meant to be like 3-5 years older than in the books. Sometimes more. The actors playing the three middle Stark children just only started hitting puberty around the 2nd season.

The show kids were noticably older, which imo is a good thing. But then Sophie Turner never stopped growing and it became kinda hilarious.

Sorry I meant to write older than in my initial post! I thought it was something like 6, 9, 12 in the books and 10, 11, 14 in the show. And the kids would have have able to play 11, 12, 15 by the second season but just basically looked like young children/pre-teens in the first one. But it's okay since the show ages were just in the script and given in interviews so it doesn't really matter what the specifics are. And also because nobody is going to rewatch that show, even if seasons 1-2 are actually good television with 2 being the only real standout in the series.

I know they say everything you can imagine being done has been done ten times over. But I actually think a series where the cast are re-shuffled for a sequal to play different parts already introduced has never been done. Like the federale becomes the drug kingpin becomes the peasant farmer becomes the cop. Or the boss and subordinate switch. Not like one gets demoted and the other takes over the job. But than actors play the other's role. It's clearly been done in theatre. And in isolated cases on TV. I don't think ever on film

You could convincingly have Timmy C 12 years older with makeup, but then you have the problem that Alia is like 28 instead of 11 years old. The bigger the time jump the more plausible it seems. You can make it 18 years and if you make Timothy look paler and more weary & give him a different haircut and you can just imagine it's a mix of him being boyish looking in general and the Spice keeping him fit even without it being outright stated. AJT could, not convincingly, but plausibly if you squint, play an eighteen year old in that case. Especially with makeup and styling. But the timeline in the film doesn't make too much sense to me anyways. Alia is supposed to be Paul's full sister, the daughter of the old duke and not the result of a fling with a Fremen man or a random concubine. It's the same pregnancy Paul senses years earlier, no? (I guess that isn't explicit to be fair.) Does gestation just take far longer for future humans?

Less than 9 months from Leto's death to Paul's ascension.
