I literally finish everything I start (an OCD thing I'd imagine), but I can't seem to get through Book 4.

Audiobooks; much easier to listen to that one... it's a slog.

5 picks up steam again; almost done and loving it

Great interview…

He had a really great point about the Oscars, and how you can just see celebrities any time of the day you want now.

Has anyone heard recent news about a possible Blu ray release with IMAX formatting?

I've been keeping and eye out and it won't be happening anytime soon, unfortunately. Current speculation is that they might release the IMAX version on digital/Blu-ray in 2023, ahead of the theatrical release of the sequel, but who knows. So frustrating.

Thanks! I'm giving up and buying the blu ray that's available. If they end up creating a special edition IMAX for the 1st movie…I'll know I can wait to get the set on IMAX in a few years.

Oooh that's really good casting. Who else do we need for this? The Emperor and Alia? Feyd?

---

Alia's just a baby still right?

Depends on when they kick back off... if it's 2-3 years later, then she will be that old... since she was in Jessica's belly at the end of the last movie...

I am trying to remember from the books, but the timeline on Wiki suggests that Alia is born in 10191 and slays the Baron at 10193... 2 years old and killing already.

I think in an effort to not make this super ridiculous for a movie audience, and hard on themselves with finding a child actor at such a young age who could pull this off, they will find a young looking, semi-competent 6-7 year old who could pass for a 4-5 year old and move forward that way. Since Alia was "pre born" she has generations of Bene Gesserit and other ancestral minds/memories in her from birth.

Whoever the find to play that role will need to be young but act like an ancient full of wisdom but also with the emotions and behaviors of a child. Super tough role for a kid.

Is there a female Peter Dinklage?

Just de-age the face and you're set.

If it had been done years ago, I'd say Bella Ramsey from GoT.

She's now 18 though

Actually, really not a horrible idea... they could say she "aged" in the womb due to her other memory.

Basically like Dakota Fanning used to be.

The girl from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood would be perfect but she sounds like she's just slightly too old now.

Florence Pugh is amazing in everything. But I'm a little disappointed with the casting of her and I can't say why. I think it's just too obvious. Irulan is a pretty small and thankless part, especially if they are trying emphasize Zendaya as Chani, so probably Pugh will be on screen for a short time and be amazing like she always is.
I think I would have preferred some kind of stunt casting and just been blown away in the theater that someone like Billie Eilish popped in for a few minutes.

But Irulan is said to be attractive

Honestly, my first thought was Beyonce, but she's too old so I just went with the modern equivalent.

In the novel, he is the younger nephew and heir of the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, and is depicted to be similarly cruel, treacherous, and cunning as his uncle https://t.co/g0jwKSCd6q

Butler played Tex in Once Upon a Time In Hollywood and, more notably, is Elvis in Warner Bros' big, splashy biopic this summer...

I just realized that we get Nolan's Oppenheimer and Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two within three months of each other.

You read the book yet?

Nope. First movie was too good, with the second just around the corner, so I'm gonna stay fresh.

I'm reading the book right now and I'll get crucified for this, but man it is an absolute slog

If I hadn't already seen the movies and know the story I'd be completely lost. I have no clue what the hell they are talking about half the time

It does drop you off on the deep end with the terminology. Dinner editions come with a glossary to help.

It always fascinates me that a movie can get so much love (rightly so) in most of the technical categories, but is not taken seriously for the big awards because it's a genre movie.

Watched again yesterday, DV got robbed. My only real big gripe remains that the movie is too dark for a large amount of the film. I can adjust the brightness on my iPad at least. If they re-released it in theaters with brighter visuals I would 100% go back to the theater to see it again.
