So is Skarsgard going to be the baron? He seems like he could play a lot of characters, but I really like him as a villain. Either way, they're casting some great people.

All of the cast announcements are coming with their character so far.

Skarsgard - baron

Bautista - Rabban

Chalomet - paul.

Jessica - cant remember name

Reverend Mother Mohaim - cant remember her name but was just announced

jodorowsky wanted to cast her back in the 70s as jessica

quote:

"Jodorowsky was looking for who was going to play Jessica, and he wanted a strong, beautiful woman, not a weak dainty woman. Someone with a real spiritual strength. He saw a movie with Charlotte Rampling, and thought she would be perfect. They sent Charlotte Rampling the script, and she agreed to meet with Jodo before she had read the script, and in the script, there is a scene where a character named Rabban the Beast, part of the Harkonnen army. In order to insult Duke Leto, David Carradine, Rabban the Beast gets his army, the Algerian army, to pull down their pants in front of the palace and poo poo. So there’s going to be a scene of 2,000 extras defecating at once. So here’s Charlotte Rampling, she agrees to meet with Jodo, she gets the script, she reads the script, and she says, “I can’t be in a movie where there’s 2,000 extras defecating on screen! I need to be in a movie that people are actually going to see! Who the hell is going to see this movie?” Jodo said, “It was a great disappointment for me. A great disappointment.” It’s kind of fantastic."

They sometimes carry firearms for specific missions but usually the Harkonnens are shielded. They don't often try to engage the Fremen on the ground if it can be helped, preferring to strafe them from aircraft.

I think a lot of the recent optimism is forgetting that KJA and the Whoreson Brian are involved.

It will be bad, as is all so-called “Dune” Content other than the 6+1.

I meant more in their own dueling culture. It’s like, personal missile weapons (handguns) became a thing because personal armor could be easily pierced by them. So it seems like in the hundreds/thousands of years the Fremen lived on Arrakis they would have re-evolved guns?

I don't know. I'm kind of optimistic about this one, because this is actually a case where remaking (or more accurately making another attempt at an adaptation) is a good idea, because the old movie was decidedly not a good movie. I'll grant it that it has alot of interesting visuals and art design (except the decision to have the Fremen pretty much be a bunch of white guys in wetsuits), but drat if it isn't a messy, boring piece of poo poo.

:shrug:

I think their duelling was based on melee combat because the style of the time was to fight with shields. So the Fremen kept their abilities sharp in case they had to fight with the slower style. As for guns, I dunno how cowboy the Fremen would have gotten. Maybe it has to do with them fighting duels in caves, so you'd not want a bunch of bullets ricocheting off every wall, ruining your stillsuits and punching holes in your qanats.

By the time Leto II is born, they're already winding down from their warrior ways and soon get supplanted by his new all-woman army. When Idaho meets the Fremen centuries later they're basically a bunch of people who live on small conservatories eking out a meager existence. Most of them have never even seen a real crysknife, let alone ridden a worm.

:shrug:
They did have "maula pistols," but I mean, what the gently caress are the Fremen going to shoot? The books seem to suggest that most of why a Fremen is so loving hard is because of the effects of living in such a difficult environment rather than their elite tactical operator skills and loadout from Sietch Milindcomplex.

She could be the body of Jamis, but only if they actually kill her and return her water to the tribe in the process of getting the shot.
