Yeah, I absolutely have that impression too, but character design has to be believable and I don't find Reverend Mother Gollum at all believable.

Why have we not heard any casting announcements in a while? I'm surprised that we don't yet have a Feyd.

I hope they don't combine rabban and feyd. I can see them doing it because it reduces the number of characters easily and brushes some more problematic aspects of the Baron under the carpet. Also the fact that they have a big-time name for Rabban, who is not actually in many scenes...

I'm thinking maybe Feyd doesn't show up until the second movie, to keep the movie from being too crowded with villains.

But he really does need to be in that first scene. He is the dark reflection to Paul.

I've said before ITT, the best way to end the first movie is to intersperse or at least juxtapose Paul killing Jamis and Feyd killing the Atreides gladiator-prisoner. It's a huge deal that it's Paul's first time killing someone, as opposed to Feyd's 100th arena murder. Couldn't make the difference between the characters more obvious and sets up their rivalry for the second movie. IMVHO.

I'm gonna be real pissed if they cut Feyd. He should be a more central character than he was in Lynch. He's dark side Luke.

I dunno if it's stated but seems like a rather obvious reason the Fremen are such good warriors is that they're all at least low-level precogs because they casually eat and drink Spice with probably everything. (I bet it got its name because their ancestors used it like spices to make existence on Arrakis more bearable) I wonder if/how that might be portrayed in film. Spider-sense?

Jamis fight we see, the only mention of the way that Fremen fight that we get a description of, is once Paul wows to take back the planet from the Harkonnen, where it's described that they have a fighting style that's involves jumping and fluid movement, which is probably the Weirding Way.

like just being hard blue eyed bedouin mystic motherfuckers might be enough, you know, because they can predict the shifting sandtide and poo poo. the audience will probably get the implication, alongside the spice being the most well integrated and interesting macguffin in all of science-fantasy BeanpolePeckerwood fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Jul 3, 2019 |

D. Ebdrup posted:In the books, the only overt effect of the spice that affect the Fremen as far as I remember, is that they become subconsciously semi-telepathic to others' unstated needs in the group as a result of them closing themselves off from the precognitive abilities of the spice as only the Kwizats Hadarach bloodline can use that; or at least that's something Jessica speculates about just after she's brought coffee one time.

Infinite Karma posted:They also fight at full speed, because nobody uses shields on Arrakis, and everyone else practices the slow blade against shields (for their entire lives), which is a hard habit to unlearn in the span of a single fight to the death with a guy who is really good at killing you. And now for something completely different: One thing I just recalled about the first book is how the Guildsman, who has his arm jostled just before the Emperor goes to meet with Paul and his entourage, is described as having eyes so blue they're almost black - but is the "level" of blue/black described anywhere else in the books? All of the visual representations I've seen so far seem to have them a very royal shade of blue, and that doesn't seem to fit that description.

Spice eyes are “deep blue” according to the Dune appendix. There’s a constant barrage of (easily ignored if you already assumed from Lynch/Sci-Fi Dune that the eyes are supposed to be bright luminous blue) context clues apart from the spacing guild guy that deep means deep, and that they are so blue as to be almost black. Piter’s spice eyes are “like holes”, Mapes’ are “the deepest, darkest blue”, Kynes’ are “fathomless” and “a darkness under heavy brows”, Chani’s are “black pits”, Jamis’ are “ink-dark”, “blue-black holes”, “like beads of dark glass”, Stilgar’s are “dark-dark”, there’s one reference to Paul’s increasingly spicy eyes making the desert sky seem dark to him (!). Basically they’re very dark blue and the visual adaptations have generally chosen a different tack to make them more photogenic.
