All those secondary roles are going to be a showcase of character actors that you kind of stop and say , hey! I know that guy! I am sure shea whigham or Kyle Chandler show up.

Also my man Javier cannot do anything wrong.
He's going to nail Stilgar.Even in the last pirates of the Caribbean he was more than decent ( incredible achievement).

Exploration is ill-advised.
I wonder if Man of Steel's Krypton and particularly Black Panther showed that you can definitely have sci-fi with unusual aesthetics and non-Western cultural influences and make millions at the box office without viewers questioning it.

This is the no-@duneauthor zone after all. Some of the first prequels and the new sequels have elements I can believe came from notes but most of it is invented.
At this point, I refuse to believe even this basic claim. Everything Brian Herbert claims to be a co-author of is just fanfiction, and a particularily bad example at that.
I also refuse to call him by his twitter handle.

Dave Dastmalchian joins the cast of Dune as Piter!!
I feel like I don't have a clue what he's like as an actor, despite having seen movies he's in - so he's a bit of an unknown for me, but I don't mind that at all.

Brian Herbert has written more Dune novels than anyone else. By dint of being the most prolific author in the canon's history, he has rightfully and truly assumed the mantle of duneauthor.

"Written"

I think you vastly misrepresent the amount of work KJA probably had to do to turn the books into readable pulp trash.

Also, that argument loses weight when Brian originally said "everything" was from extensive notes, unfinished drafts, and reams and reams of outlines from his father's estate. he made all that up

I'm curious to see how they handle all the internal monologue and the abstract concepts like the Golden Path. Do they just make it a cool action movie or do they risk losing an audience with the whole "the water of life connected my mentat training to my bene gesserit training and now my mind is a super computer that can see all possible paths thereby perceiving the future and all roads end in the extinction of all life thanks to those bene tleilax fucks creating a super self-aware hunter seeker that will destroy all organic life so now I need either me or my son to become a tyrant for 3500 years just to guide humanity in a 3 millennia renaissance festival just to make sure that doesn't happen also sandtrout are cool watch my kid turn into a gigantic worm, take that dennis rodman, whom no one remembers but me" because I'm not sure how that will translate on screen.

smooth soul
The golden path is not mentioned in the first novel at all, Paul's focus on his prescience is mostly finding a way to avoid the jihad with a few notes about seeing his old friends alive in some futures and dead in others.

I'm reading a friends' dissertation on Transhumanism, in a section about bioconservatism he used this quote.

"The final technical conquest of his own nature would almost certainly leave mankind utterly enfeebled. This form of mastery would be identical with utter dehumanization. …Homogenization, mediocrity, pacification, drug-induced contentment, debasement of taste, souls without loves and longings—these are the inevitable results of making the essence of human nature the last project of technical mastery." - Leon Kass

It makes me think of Dune, but for no specific reason because I've only really read the first book.

If it's anything like his other stuff it's gonna be a lotta long takes of Paul looking at a beautiful desert scene, as his mother turns into a spider behind him

It's really gotta engage with weird psychedelia on some level. Dune just doesn't work properly if you don't get weird and color outside the lines a little.

I'm thinking that dream scene in First Reformed mixed with a bit of Altered States and a dash of that fire sparks transition from Blade Runner 2049.

I do wonder if they'll be true to the book in how Jessica is basically the protagonist for the first half, and specifically notices when Paul starts to take charge of his own destiny.
