....although it does show us a glimpse of how ageless Patrick Stewart is... I mean, did he ever have hair?? :lol
The first pic is of Andy Whitfield, not Patrick Stewart. Andy Whitfield is the actor that played Spartacus in the series... He's dead though.
I just watched Lynch's Dune last night and now I understand why the film is apparently disowned by Lynch. Some incredible sets, puppets, and production design but its just a cheesy incomprehensible mess. No doubt Villeneuve's version will be far superior.
Where did you get this from? It is one of the key elements in the book that Paul is male.I never read the book, but was Paul in the book? It sounds like the new show is *SURPRISE* making that character a woman. I'm not in the "OMG a female character!" camp, but stop flipflopping ALL the male characters!
True, that’s the “Allan Smithee” edit but I seem to remember reading that he doesn’t talk about the movie in general.And Lynch only disowned the extended cut, as it was made without him.
Ah that must be Zoe Saldana, she was very eager to play Jessica, Paul’s mother.I went back and looked and I was wrong. They were saying some girl was up for "the lead", but named another character.
Now, I have something to look forward to, I hope that it will be as good as the first one.
Same here, pretty much the only upcoming movie that keeps me ticking. A tough one to crack though, there's lots of exposition and world-building to deliver. The Lynch movie tried doing that with the internal monologues which was weird, and the TV series flat out delivered flat exposition. I have faith in Villeneuve though, he hasn't disappointed yet and one of the very few true old-style filmmakers left in Hollywood.
I like Zoe Saldana and seems she likes these kind of Sci-Fi roles (Avatar, Marvel films). She doesn't seem old enough to play Paul's mother but I'm optimistic she can act the role.Ah that must be Zoe Saldana, she was very eager to play Jessica, Paul’s mother.
Yea it’s a Catch 22. My favourite book though so I have high expectations.I found that if you have not read the books the movies can be pretty hard to follow, but that is a double edged sword because if you read the books before seeing the movie there was no way the movie could ever do the book justice. I liked the movie but loved the books.
I know what you mean although to me Dune was always European-style feudalism transported to space...however with a big dose of Middle-Eastern tropes like the Padishah Emperor and all the ranks and titles. Not to mention the fremens are basically bedouin people.I like Zoe Saldana and seems she likes these kind of Sci-Fi roles (Avatar, Marvel films).

Maybe we will actually get a cast that represents humanity's future diversity! I'm no SJW but I sorta chuckle at the lack of diversity in 80s films, LOL.
