To an extent Paul should be a larger actor, Chalamet is a small guy, and Paul is supposed to be a natural leader of men.
Completely disagree. Paul is supposed to be slight and not physically imposing. Several times in the book characters remark that Paul is small for 15.

Yes, i made this same comment and when I reread Dune right before the movie came out I realized i was wrong.

This.

He was a leader because of his breading and training, not his size.

He had to play a teenager and teens do not put themselves out there, naturally. I do agree that the movie did not illustrate his intellect or Bene Gesserit training, which was disappointing.

We will see how good of an actor Tim is in Part II. There, he will have to lead millions, be a husband, and defeat the Harkonens in the same movie. His character will be completely different.

So Tom Cruise could still play Paul.

On Caladan, we ruled through Grain and Seed power. On Arrakis, we need to cultivate Dessert power.

Your would think his Fremen name, Muad'Dib, aka the Desert Mouse. would be a solid hint. It's why they showed the mouse in the movie.

Little known fact: Earlier versions of the manuscript had it as Paul Soyboy atreides.

I can't even describe it, there's something about the way she holds the needle in the new one vs the needle just being on the tip of her finger in the Lynch film.

I do like the look of the needle in the new movie better. But it really annoys me how much her hand is wavering in that scene. She's a Bene gesserit with perfect muscle control. That needle should have been rock solid.

Yeah but he's also Usul, aka the Strength at the Base of the Pillar.
Suppose the contradiction of names represents the Duality of Man. Or something like that.

The book also says he's literally small about a dozen times.

Renck is legit. This also tells me they're gearing up to hopefully have this ready around the time the sequel movie hits…

Awesome! Would love to see this show touch on the Butlerian Jihad and the formation of the Metats/Spicing Guild as well. Not sure if those timelines all line up though.

congrats on finishing it out. very rewarding despite the obvious plans for another volume by FH.

Don't even think of picking up the garbage by his son and Kevin J. Anderson.

Edited to add: I've grown to appreciate the later novels even more upon my last reread last year. Dune 4 (we will call it that to not encroach upon the "no spoilers because novel readers REEEEEEEEEEE" crowd) is a great bookend to Dunes 2 and 3. Dunes 5 and 6 are superb stand-alones that feel satisfying as far future sci-fi pieces with some continuity to the others.

At least 130 deleted scenes???!!!!?!!!
TCTTS

130 deleted shots. Not scenes. That said, between this video and all the others that channel has covered, there are easily AT LEAST 10 significant deleted scenes, if not 12-15 or so. Either way, I've never seen so much quality content left on the cutting room floor. To the point where there HAS to be an extended cut at some point. This stuff is too good otherwise.

Walken is a great actor, but he has been on Saturday Night Live & parodied so much the past 20 years it may be tough to separate the character from the actor.
