Has there been any more production news on the remake? They've started filming in Hungary and Morocco, right?

What about casting? Seems we haven't heard anything in a while, oddly enough even for some seemingly important roles. I'm wondering if they've cut out some characters or folded their roles into others to streamline the screenplay. Reading the book again, there is a fair bit of stuff that (as before with the two adaptations) would be really difficult to put to film, not worth it for the little exposition it would provide.

They'll be filming in Jordan too, basically where all desert movies are made now like The Martian, Zero Dark Thirty, Rogue One and the new Aladdin.

Filming begins Monday in Budapest.

I truly love Hans Zimmer...but isn't he a bit mainstream for Dune? Maybe I'm not thinking of the right stuff by him but the ones I am thinking of will be kickass music and very well composed but...boring

Seeing as BR49 seems to be a audition for dune, let's wait and see.

Right, so who has not been cast. I can see Feyd, Liet-kynes and Thufir as main characters, Shadout Mapes, Irulan Jamis and Harah as minors. I am going to ignore characters in the dinner scene, it will probably be pared back for the movie. But they better have the scene.

Yeah, I guess since it was Villeneuve and he brought in Zimmer to finish the BR49 soundtrack according to wikipedia, I presume they're on the same page.
