Jason Momoa in Talks to Join Denis Villeneuve’s ‘Dune’
- Thread starter luca
- Start date
Somehow I missed this, but that casting is pretty much perfect. Her appearance is exactly who I picture when I think of Lady J.
Whatever he does in the future he will always be Ronon Dex in my mind.
This will never stop cracking me up in all of its incarnations, lol.
This cast is looking really solid, here's hoping it all works out. I've been dying to see a proper Dune adaptation on the big screen for years.
I had no faith in a Blade Runner sequel (especially those early shots of Ford in a t-shirt), and Denis made it happen. I trust him with this Dune sequel. Keep stacking that cast.
Blade Runner is infinitely better, more enjoyable, more cohesive and more entertaining than Dune 1984 what the hell.
With that in mind, Denis isn't creating a sequel/adapting Dune 1984 like he was with Blade Runner, so it's even less of a concern. He's adapting the book and the further away from the absolute clusterfuck that is that film the better. Lynch's Dune is not rubbish because of its source material (besides how difficult it is to adapt). It's rubbish because it was a terribly misguided adaptation that completely failed to convert the story into something cinematic and cohesive.
I mean im pretty sure
That Duncan Idaho dies basically 100 pages into the book. Thats of course ignoring the sequels and what not. So its not like he will be in the film as long as most of the cast.
Wonder who they will cast as Pauls sister.
I got my first exposure to her in the 'white queen'. I knew she had much more to do after that
The original Blade Runner was nothing short of brilliant; one of the most seminal and copied sci-fi films ever made.
It just happens that Dennis did the impossible and made an even better sequel. :)

Nope. Haven't been cast yet. Will begin filming in Spring I think, in Jordan and another location I forgot about.
Ryan Gosling has been rumored for Yueh, I think he'd be a good fit.
Feyd is going to be tough as you need someone young, ripped, and fully loathable.
He wouldn't be a bad Yueh either, but it's kind of hard to look at him and be shocked when he heel turns.
Bad script and poor performances from everybody but Rutger Hauer. I used to defend Blade Runner too but 2049 was such a better movie and just as visually stunning as the original that it made all of its flaws so much more apparent. The movie now feels like it has nothing going for it.
My point was that Villeneuve did A LOT to improve on Blade Runner and I feel like he is definitely going to do the same for Dune. I doubt any one will disagree with me on that.
Is there a site doing fan casting of the different roles? I know that happens a lot for MCU.
Zoe can be Harah, wife of Jamis.
Depending on when they cut it, could be as large as Chanis will be.
I'd take random Atreides man who got killed in artillery fire.
Would be funny if, against all odds, this is a box office success and they make more, making Momoa the guy that
shows up in all of them (as a Ghola).
shows up in all of them (as a Ghola).
They are splitting the first book in two right? Then no, yeah.
But Duncan shows up in all 6 books. I guess I did not think about the way they are handling the first book.
Duncan Idaho is a boyscout / loyal hero and his role actually becomes more important as the books progress because of
Gholas which are clones used by the Bene Gesserit and others to create breeding programs and Duncan gets frequently killed by his slightly insane God Emperor
