He'd make a better Gurney to be honest, just ferociously hating Harkonnens. Duncan is a swordmaster though, I just...he's supposed to be smooth. Bond-esque.

There's that and also it's like Tom Cruise or Will Smith. No matter who he plays, you cant see past the actor.

I'm pretty concerned this is gonna be poo poo now. I'd be happier if it was a cast of character actors and unknowns.

I think momoa is good for Duncan, he's got great physical presence which Duncan needs and he's an ok actor if nothing fancy.

I'm still fairly sure Villeneuve knows what hes doing (hes already splitting the movie, which is good, for once), and the rest of the casting seems decent to great. And Idaho is only in Dune for like a few chapters anyway, so it's a pretty minor thing (this hangup over the actor is entirely on me). And I guess itll be pretty lol to watch rebecca Ferguson clown on him that night he gets shitfaced drunk. But still it seems like one of those "cast the currently hot actor" approaches that can hurt an otherwise good movie. I guess you could argue the same for oscar isaac (hot off of star wars), but hes a pretty great actor given good material.

@Duneauthor and KJA are meaningless producers with no power. It's just a vanity title for them.

Yesterday goon saphojunkie texted me this

You guys I just walked out of DC comics and as I'm walking to my car I hear some dude scream yeah! Like really excited, and I turned around and it's Jason Momoa with double fists in the air walking out of DC with his agent behind him and a huge poo poo eating grin. So whatever is happening… Expect more Aquaman. Or maybe Bullet to the Head 2 just got greenlit lol


I guess Momoa is excited about this. Maybe he takes it seriously.


edit: oh I should mention Legendary, CBSi and DC are all in the same mega building.

I think Momoa will be good. Like seb said he's not exactly a huge part of the story. They prolly just want a dude that looks like he can gently caress people up.

Most producers are guys who cut a check or otherwise have a stake in the film production. Brian Herbert is a dumb fuckstick ransacking his father's legacy to boost his own sad lit career; but his taint probably isn't going beyond an advisory/note giving place.

God, i could, i have written better fiction than Brian. Amazing what having the right dad can do for a failson.

Momoa isn't my image of Duncan but he'll work in his own way and he'll fit well enough as a super-swordmaster.

Also it's totally believable he could gently caress an honored matre into submission with the sheer power of sexiness. :fap:

I just want him to look like Batou but noone else sees it. They want to make the swordmaster a pretty boy instead of a badass clone. I am alone :(

Lest we forget Duncan fights Stilgar in Dune 3 and only loses because he wants to die at the hand of someone who's still worth a drat. He breaks with the Atreides and commits suicide-by-Fremen. Duncan is a badass.

He was just forcing Stilgar into action to keep Ghanima away from Alia.
