the Baron is not as entertaining as the one in Lynch's Dune, but I more or less dug his vibe and the choice to just straight up play him as Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now was pretty fun (I normally hate nods like that but this one worked for me).

Yeah I didn’t see it as a peek at an alternate timeline so much as just evidence that while Paul has some degree of prescience, his visions can’t be trusted to be 100% accurate.

I revisited the Lynch Dune after the Villeneuve Dune and I dunno if this is an unpopular opinion but they both rule.

Ramrod Hotshot posted:I think Elba would play the role too wooden, like he's in the Eternals or something. Has he played many villains? I can't think of any and I don't think he'd be that believable as one. The actor needs to just ooze arrogance. I would say that his best ever role by a huge margin, the one that put him on the map, is a villainous one.

Didn't they already cast Feyd? It's the guy who played Tex in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I was bummed because I had hoped the Barry Keoghan rumors were true, I love that little freak.

yeah i always saw Dune as kind of a deconstruction of "chosen one" fantasy stories, basically saying "if everyone starts saying that some young kid is 'the chosen one,' be very afraid."

Thufir is not a character I care a ton about in general, but it is a shame if he's being written out offscreen just because Stephen McKinley Henderson was really good in the role

the idea of waiting a decade to do a sequel so your cast can age up is always a bit silly and usually just means you're not going to do it (see: that Kill Bill sequel Tarantino used to talk about). Plus in the Duniverse you really don't need to do it because everyone has super long life expectancies plus spice suppresses aging, you can say Timothee is 100 if you want

Maxwell Lord posted:As far as the story goes, there are certainly some big choices made, and the only one I'm really against is leaving out Alia- that felt more like sanding off some of the stranger parts. I felt this way going in when I heard she wasn't in the movie, but having now seen it I actually think they made the Alia plot considerably weirder than it was in the book. They cast Anya Taylor Joy as a fetus!

Cimber posted:The original Dune book was really good and a masterpiece of mid 20th century SF. The other books it seems were....quite less so. Maybe for the time they were considered good, but are they aging well? Opinions of someone who's read the original Dune multiple times over the years but only tackled the sequels recently: Dune Messiah is pretty great (though, like most of the Dune books, a lot less action heavy than the first, which leads me to wonder how satisfying the third movie is going to be really). Children of Dune is hit or miss but has its moments. God Emperor of Dune is loving WEIRD in the best way, definitely worth reading this far in the series IMO. I'm about 100 pages into Chapterhouse right now and that one and Heretics are both pretty bad but entertaining enough if you're still jonesing for more Dune past God Emperor.

I had no problem with Walken but if pressed I would have to rank him last of the three performances we've gotten of the Emperor (as with Baron Harkonen, the best might actually be in the 2000 miniseries, Giancarlo Giannini rules)
