Just use the now-older Lynch cast members as older characters. Alicia Witt as Jessica, Brad Dourif as Hawat, Patrick Stuart as Gurney, etc.

The guy cast as Paul looks a lot like a younger Kyle maclachlan and rebecca Ferguson is the spitting image of the original Jessica. Is the new movie going to be hopelessly derivative of Lynch's take? You want to film an unfilmable book, you hire someone from the avante garde and give them more money than they've ever seen in one place before. Instead, a soft reboot with some updated graphics is the best you can hope for with the going rate of mainstream scifi movies.

I swear if they make ornithopters into dorky diamond-shaped things again they can gently caress off.

Dennis Villeneuve is an extremely good director and I have faith that the movie will be excellent.

i'd really enjoy it if Dune becomes the white whale of successive generations of weird auteur directors. I'd like to see villeneuve get shipwrecked with releasing a flawed but good movie, and then when i'm like 50 someone else tries again, and right before i die some new director tries again and it just becomes a running obsession with a certain kind of film maker to conquer dune but nobody ever quite nails every aspect of it.

I wish nothing but success for Villanueve. I think he has more balls than any big studio director currently above ground.

This is what Dune is, it is the white whale of film, the dragon that must be chased. There is no way to adapt it and everyone who has ever read it knows it, therefore it must be adapted.

The movie should be really seriously made, maintain the somber tone and quiet attention to detail of the book, the quiet dread Paul feels as his prescience creeps up on him, the focused awareness everyone feels as they're thrust into these new and unfamiliar situations, but then for no reason one detail should be inexplicably stupid. Like the crysknives should be some cheesy BUD K Fantasy Knives with holes cut out of the blades and carved dragons for handles. Or the personal shields should be this airbrushed hot neon pink.
