I'm so drat conflicted, because part of me wants a great Dune movie to be made, but with Those Who Must Not Be Named being involved, at least on paper, I fear that it'll turn out poo poo just by association.

Yet at the same time, I do think Denis Villeneuve is one of the few directors who has even a chance of pulling it off, and not give us something that is by all meassures a servicable David Lynch movie but not worth watching as a Dune movie unless you go to the trouble of finding the Alternative Edition Redux that Spicediver made, after having basically taught himself movie editing making two other attemps and which may have started his career as an editor (at least according to one rumor I've heard).

I can almost guarantee you the extent of @duneauthor's involvement is going to be a couple set visits, an intern who'll politely listen to his dumbdick ideas when he calls and then do nothing with them, and maybe a taped interview for the DVD extras that'll ultimately be reduced to the video equivalent of a pull quote.

It's 4 am,and I just woke up and had to share the dream I just had.

Was in a movie theater,watching trailers and there was a Sixth Sense-era Bald Bruce Willis in a TERMINATOR II movie, that had it starting with him in a drop pod entering a planet's atmosphere.

And then there was BRUCE WILLIS in a combined Live action, part cartoon movie as BATMAN but it was all done like Batman: The animated series.

Unfortunatly, I lost what the third BRUCE WILLIS movie was.

Anyway, made a stop at a thrift store and found an entire hard back ex-library copies of the Dune Series.


I wish I could remember what that last movie was. I remember saying " I can't remember the last time I was excited for a movie,and now theres 2 or three I'm excited for!"

That's at least a comforting sign that he'll do it right.
We'll see.


Speaking of casting suggesting as the thread has sometimes, I had the idea that Morgan Freeman as Thufir Hawat might be an excellent choice - Hawat is mentioned to have a seamed old face, and even the word storm-leathered is used. Yet for all that, he's also described as someone so imposing that even the emperor fears him, and Morgan Freeman fits the bill to a tee in my mind.

Oh poo poo, is he? Welp, so much for that idea.

The reason I thought of Morgan Freeman is based on the first description of Thufir Hawat that we get: "Hawat's eyes were two
pools of alertness in a dark and deeply seamed face." Perhaps even more fit for the role would be someone like William Todd (who's had one hell of a hard life). The eyes standing out as the first thing you notice fits William Todd to a tee, but I don't know if he can act.

Hmm, it's possible - it's not who I have in my minds eye, but that's not to say that it's wrong. Frank Herbert was fantastically verbose about a lot of descriptive stuff, but skin color isn't really something I recall being very present.

EDIT: Oh poo poo, James Earl Jones!

Look at this image and tell me that he couldn't do "Those sounds could be immitated"! I'm clearly biased because of the audiobooks here, but the way Scott Brick says that very phrase in the audiobooks sounds not too dissimilar to some of the many voices James Earl Jones has done over the years.

Or do a Star Trek and have everyone played by Jeffrey Combs?
