Need more spice bell?

Yeah it's in the Dune 2 thread.

No? He's pretty famous for walking without rythme so he won't attract the worm...

He was on the short list that leaked a few days ago.

He's been fancasted as Fenring a lot, due to the unique speaking pattern.

Personally, I always liked him as Esmar.

Yeah, I forgot we had a Part II thread when I posted that.

Missed one.

Think it was from this season of the Simpsons when Comic Book Guy referring to his drink says "you're killing my Arakeen buzz".

Yeah, that was pretty stomach-turning.


Paul was a whiny brat in the miniseries. Irulan (and her servant) were used in place of when Margot Fenring was supposed to seduce Feyd and conceive a daughter with him, to preserve the Harkonnen genes. Irulan visited Giedi Prime, and pretended to fawn all over Feyd for being such a wonderful fighter, and when he was expecting sex with her, sent in her servant instead. This was Irulan going on a fact-finding mission to find out what the Harkonnens knew about Paul and Jessica's disappearance, and had nothing to do with Margot's assignment from the Bene Gesserit. It's disappointing that so far all filmed versions of this book have ignored Margot Fenring.

I mean, Margot and her sideplot never come back after the first book while Irulan becomes more important as the books go on. So I can understand why the Mini made Irulan stronger.

OK this is a bit of a shock.
Christopher Walken has been cast as Shadam IV. That is definitely not a name that ever crossed my mind for Dune.

Too bad it wasn't Kanye West as was mentioned here a while ago....

Dune is having a free screening Sep 4 in Montreal as part of the Montreal Film Festival. Organizers are saying there will be surprises from local talent prior to the screening.

Villeneuve himself is a Montrealer who is active in the Montreal & Quebec film community so, if a friend of mine wasn't celebrating her birthday that evening, I'd be going myself just in case.

I don't mind Irulan's expanded role in the miniseries, since Julie Cox knocked it out of the park in portraying the character. Novel-Irulan is unlikeable at best, and even FH killed her off in the first draft of Dune Messiah.

Fortunately he changed his mind, though, and let her live. Thus decades later, we got to see Julie Cox's wonderful interpretation.

I still think the miniseries should have included Margot, however. It's not as though there wasn't time for it. Just delete Irulan/Feyd and put in Margot/Feyd, and call it done.

Some chance that a super early teaser might end up shown I guess...
