Werthead Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Nice. Cast so far: Paul Atreides: Timothee Chalamet Jessica Atreides: Rebecca Ferguson The Beast Rabban: Dave Bautista Also confirmation that it will take two film to adapt Dune. Someone online suggested Vincent D'onofrio for Baron Harkonnen and now that's all I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The charcater needs to have that bloated Steve Bannon / Louie Anderson look. Stilgar is the character I think they need to nail in terms of casting. He's probably the third most important character in the book. No idea who'd be good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrum Aeternum Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Stellan Skarsgard announced as Baron Harkonnen. Huh. So I guess they aren't going the grossly obese route unless they craft him one hell of a fat suit. That said, I like him a lot as an actor. He'll certainly bring a suitably creepy sense of menace to the role. Dave Bautista as Rabban is a stroke of genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's great and they can make him sufficiently gross and dissipated for that to work without going full Fat Bastard. How about Kit Harrington for Duncan? Dark hair, brooding, can bring in those GoT nerds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I'm looking forward to see who they cast as Gurney Halleck. I loved Patrick Stewart as Halleck in Lynch's Dune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Sigil Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I just really hope that they don't do that inner monologue thing.... "I will bend like a reed in the wind".... just yuck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughn Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 11 hours ago, Let's Get Kraken said: People get too hung up on unimportant details when books like Dune are adapted. It doesn't matter if Baron Harkonen is fat any more than it matters if Lex Luthor is bald in any given Superman adaptation. What matters is the sense of decadent consumption and greed that the Baron's excessive weight is meant to convey, just like Luthor's baldness was meant to say something about powerful men who are ruled by their insecurities. You say that now, but just wait if they cast a black or Asian actress as Irulan. Speaking of which, Idris Elba for Duncan or Gurney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a few more wrinkles, not that hard to cover up Villenueve wants, and grey eyebrows and that's about all that's different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughn Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Still super excited about this movie but we're still at grave risk of Jared Leto being cast as Feyd. Previous collaboration, rock singer... lot of danger signs on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werthead Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Quote How about Kit Harrington for Duncan? Dark hair, brooding, can bring in those GoT nerds... Nope. Ryan Gosling? Maybe a smaller role than he's used to, but it's the only role that would appear in every movie (assuming they make all 6 books into films, which is a bit of a stretch). Quote IMO he's a little seasoned for the role. I like the idea of him as Duncan, but I also think it'd be a mistake for them to cast anybody most known as a Game of Thrones actor. I think Pascal is better-known now for Narcos, as being the only consistent lead actor on a hit Netflix series for 3 seasons is a much bigger deal than doing 8 episodes on GoT (albeit with a memorable death scene) five years ago. He's also the lead on the new Star Wars TV series, which may hinder his availability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvinus85 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Certainly not a bad choice. Considering Ferguson is Jessica, I can see Chalamet being their child. My preference would have been Viggo Mortensen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
