Josh Brolin joins all-star cast for Dune
- Thread starter luca
- Start date
To be fair, the line in the book was delivered in a very different context.
Brolin probably wouldn't have been my first choice, but he's got the range.
Now we also need Yueh and Thufir, and Liet. I also want to hear talks of some of the lesser-known characters like Harah, that would tell me they're going all-in with this adaptation.
I know! He's like the last piece of the puzzle for me. Once they cast Kynes, I know this thing is real.
Has 2049 been a flop when taking into account worldwide receipts and movie sales since it's been out to rent and buy?
Anyways surely with a cast this good it will be easy to build some hype. Even if it's a weird sci-fi film I imagine Villeneuve will craft something visually splendorous that will get people to go and see this. I cannot imagine it will get a fairly low key release like BR did, plus BR was a sequel to an already fairly niche film, to most people Dune will be a pretty new thing, no prior knowledge or films required.
Given how many books the saga is comprised of, is this movie going to be encompass the base trilogy (like the 1984 rendition) with a singular entry?
Just started the audiobook for book 1, early on still but while there is a lot of confusing scifi babble going on I'm enjoying it and it seems to be developing an interesting world with quite a bit of lore. Excited to see how the movie ends up and yeah that cast is looking good.
Call in Benicio for Kynes and we're good to go.
I suppose. I always envisioned Feyd as a rival to Paul, the Harkonnen version of him, even though they had never met. Both were products of the Bene Gesserit breeding program and both families saw their boy marrying the Emperors daughter.
And when
Yeah, the physical book has a full glossary with most of the terms so you can reference when you might not know something. Listened to the book for your first time you'll miss out on some of that. This Wiki page looks pretty close to what is in the original book, I don't see really any spoilers.

they fight to the death I think having someone that much older would take away from the moment.

I always get a little nervous when I see a "dream team" cast like this come together. So many times that has led to some really terrible movies - maybe it's difficult managing that much talent as a director and producer?
However, I have faith in this director. Hasn't failed to entertain me, and even make me think a little, yet.

Honestly I care more about a films quality than it's box office. BR2049 flopped, but it was also the best movie of 2017.
Are these roles associated with each actor confirmed or assumed? The article mentions three, I see, but you listed quite a few.
not in this case - if part 1 flops you will have half an amazing story and it will suckkkkkk

Confirmed for the part, or confirmed in talks.
There's plenty of threads about the castings around here too.
The studio lost money so it absolutely was a flop.
Dune is arguably even more niche than BR. It being a new and unknown property to most of the GA can also be detrimental. It might be tough trying to sell people on the concept of Dune.
You should absolutely care about the box office of films you like. If stuff like BR keeps flopping and if Dune flops as well, How many more chances do you think Denis is going to get to make films like this on a big budget? It'll make studios even more hesitant to take chances on these type of projects.
Well, he could be Duncan and
die
reappear forever.
I could see this. Young, handsome, not too young.
A lot of distinct actors that hasn't worked much if at all together before from what I can remember. And all of them lead material in their own right.
Sorry, how was the context different? Gurney uses it in exactly the same place and for the same reason - to create Oaul for his flippancy when Gurney demands they start shield practice.
And I can totally hear Brolin delivering it.
That may be. I'm not at all familiar with Dune so I'm not sure about their approach to the movie.
More niche but probably more accessible and marketable to general audiences though.
Every movie that isn't based on a franchise or is an original script is a new and unknown property to the GA; I don't see how that's a problem unique to Dune
I'm not saying it's unique to Dune. I'm saying it's a risk just like any other original IP released nowadays. Unless your Cameron or Nolan and we know Denis isn't on that level yet.
