meand Fassbender as Duke Leto and unironically Idris Elba as Duncan Idaho.
For some reason i always imagined Duncan to be a big, buffed black dude when reading the books

also yeah, they are old, but its not like hollywood will cast 14 years old kids in the movie, Kyle MacLachlan was old as fuck in the Lynch version and it worked out

>James McAvoy as Feyd
didn't he play Leto II way back when in he mini series

Kyle Maclachlan as Dougie Jones as Paul

unironically Idris Elba as the Duke.

The book describes them as dark skinned.

Then Jada Pinkett Smith as Lady Jessica.

Daniel Kaluuya as Paul.

Alexander Siddig as Stilgar.

Ray Park as Duncan.

Omar Sharif (RIP) as Liet Kynes.

Jonah Hill as The beast.

Sam Neill as Dr Yueh

Tom Cruise as Count Fenring

John Goodman as the Baron

James MacAvoy as Feyd Rautha

Gurney Halleck has to be a shakespearian actor.

Can't think of anyone for Chani. Has to be middle eastern for the universe to fit together.

Hard to imagine anyone but Brad Dourif as Piter de Vries.

Thufir can be a lot of people.

Tom Holland as Leto II
Saoirse Ronan as Ghanima
Kyle Maclachlanas The Preacher
Lindsay Duncan as Lady Jessica
Tom Hardy as Gurney Halleck
Ian Glenn as Stilgar
Jared Leto as Duncan Idaho
Paul Dano as Farad'n
Kristen Stewart as Alia

One of the kids from stranger things as Paul and then Frederick from Fire Emblem as Duncan.
Steve Carell as the desert chicks dad and the chick from that Refn movie as his daughter.

Lets be honest, they're probably gonna cast a bunch of well known faces from GOT and maybe some other popular actors from sci-fi properties like Chris Pratt and Oscar Isaacs

Kyle MacLaughlin as Duke Leto

I don't care about the rest of the casting.

Michael Sera as Paul Atreides. He's described as looking like a complete weenie of a 15 year old who happens to be a fucking Gary Stu combat master/genius/empath due to his training in fighting, mentat conditioning and Bene Gesserit witchcraft.

>tfw you will never see Jodorowsky's Dune

Nice

jordowsky was a rapist scat fiend

Its called the Incal and the Metabarons dude. Check them out. Shits great with some of the best art you'll find in comics, based Moebius and gimenez, written by Jordorowsky, mostly from unused ideas and concepts from dune.

>tfw you will never be a ghola mentat

>they're probably gonna cast a bunch of well known faces from GOT

What?
Is dune actually getting another adaptation?

Yes and Villeneuve is doing it, this is already somewhat old news

>Be me
>rewatching the spice diver edit as we speak
>Never noticed the lynch cameo until right now
>Hes got an earpiece and yelling into a phone
Deepest lore.

Paleo-Based metabarons

>tfw only reason I noticed it was Lynch was because I watched Dune after finishing Twin Peaks
>mfw accidentally Lynched myself

Ian McShane as Gurney

Kevin Spacey as Baron Harkonnen

Where did Lynch go wrong?

>stupid gay voice cannon boxes
>non-canon ending that made absolutely no sense at all

Absolutely nothing. The producers of Dune are to blame.

Thanks, now I remember.

I WILL KILL HIM

Far too old to be Gurney, perfect for Thufir Hawat though.

Gurney is described as being an ugly lump of a man with an asshole for a face, and the only thing beautiful about him is his voice/music, and how he fights.

Patrick Stewart wasnt ugly
N-no homo

lindsay lohan - giant sand vagina
everyone else exactly the same as david lynch's dune but current age, replace dead actors with cgi lynches

Nothing really. He does a goodjob with unadaptable material. Just needed more time and money to make a 4 hour long lynchian space opera, but dino delaurentiss got antsy and fucked with production.

Dune is just a glib facsimile of 40k anyway. I mean 'God Emperor' LMAO just ripped it straight from 40k how fucking pathetic.

considering that i read the book for the first time when i was like 13, no, i dont think my porn preference have anything to do with it, you memeloving dumbfuck

and then, he became a WORM!
LMAO!

>i dont think my porn preference have anything to do with it, you
Knew you watched nigger porn. Also

>i dont think
Kek

So Kafkaesque

keke

Kafkaesque insults

Trying to force a counter meme to Lovecraft? How do spics even live with themselves?

Agree entirely

The only reason I actually started reading Dune was because he was going to direct the movie adaptation.

He's easily one of the best directors around at the moment. I can't think of another one who knows how to build suspense and actual tension in their movies as well as him.

I hated the original Blade Runner but I'll definitely be interested to see what he does with the sequel.

>Amy Schummer as Barone Harkkonen
Kek

you should stop posting

I'll ask here because /lit/, for being so well read, is full of morons who hate anything that isn't 900 years old and full of socialist allegory or whatever.

How is Dune, as a novel? I tried halfheartedly to read it when I was killing some time at Barnes and Noble one time and the writing style threw me off. It reminded me of Game of Thrones (which I don't particularly enjoy) because it is so entrenched in the idea of an established universe that it doesn't explain anything. Not in the way where it's a neat mystery or you're discovering everything with a character - it's just "you better start taking notes fuckboi because you're reading DUNE now"

Of course, I only read like 15 pages. Anyone else read it?

Also, from what I've read about the universe, it seems like the perfect setting for an RPG or action game. I'd be down.

You are a retard.

Metabarons is great, was it ever finished? I remember I stopped reading it somewhere around the time when the "current" Metabaron planet was destroyed and the story no longer revolved around the robot's retelling of the past.
Is there an actual ending or did they just stop printing it?

That instinct served you well. You would not have enjoyed the experience. Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife - chopping off what's incomplete and saying: "Now, it's complete because it's ended here."

Lots of internal dialogue. Lots of politics.

...

Keep on going. I guess it helped that I had played the games before actually reading the book so I knew a lot of the terms they referenced. But have to admit I did feel like stopping reading after the first 20 pages or so.

I'd say keep on going until about page 50. After that, most of the world has been pretty well established and you get to start fully exploring and understanding the characters and their environment rather than being introduced to a new group of people or planet every 2nd page.

Arthur Clarke once said that Dune did to soft sci-fi what Lord of the Rings did to fantasy.

The first book was published a year before Star Trek came out, yet it reads like a modern book simply because of how much everybody has been lifting from it throughout the years. There would be no Star Wars without Dune.

>muh reddit spacing

(you)

Interesting. As it were, I love Arthur C Clarke as a writer, so I'm apt to trust this.

That's a good point - they say you're supposed to give a book a fair 50 pages or so before putting it down. I should try it again.

I'm willing to give it a shot, though, even though I'm on the fence about it.

Probably. You did, after all, get dubs. Hard to argue with that.

poor bait with the idris part, but holy shit those trips

Dune as the novel is pretty good imo. Hard to get into the universe, but the gears are gripping into each other really nicely.

He is described as having a dark complection and hair like black curly wool, but blue eyes.
But races get weird in the dune universe since its so far in the future. Race and culture has homogenized and split and homogonized again more than a few times since they left earth behind. And at least twice more over the course of the books.

>Brad Dourif as Piter de Vries

Possibly the best casting in the entire list. Nobody pulls off creepy, sadistic fuck as well as he can.

Could be Mediterranean or ashkenazi, north african... I could see him as a black dude.

>WE

...

Alex Jones as Baron Harkonnen, and I'm serious.

Thats close to the end.
Did you get to the part where it turns out lothar was really steelhead all along? Who then takes tonto to find and destroy No-Name. Then steelhead goes to work for the galactic supralouse but it was really a double cross to buy time for it to lay its eggs in one place so he could sould save a manifold of universes? Then after that no name gets depressed and starts drinking. Some shit happens and he meets the eagle that lives in his heart that gives him his sense of taste back so he can eat the honey they find from a bees nest in the metabunker, and learn what it is to love. He then flies off into the original universe to be a murder machine that understands empathy. Then it cuts to tonto telling that story to a bunch of ant-bots.
tl:dr yes it has an ending. There were a few more one shot stories but whatever.

Ive read only the first book so i dont know whats the lore in the next ones, so i was surprised when the guild navigator in Lynch's movie showed up in the beginning.Were they supposed to look like some kind of weird alien-abominations in the books too, iirc they were described as kinda fucked up from all the spice in the first book, but i always imagined they were basically humans with some changes here and there like rotting flesh or whatever

>Arthur Clarke once said that Dune did to soft sci-fi what Lord of the Rings did to fantasy.

This is true, but not as apparent because SF doesn't really have a singular work that people have been ripping off wholesale from for decades. If you know what to look for you can clearly tell what was lifted from Dune, though.

Dune should've been THE "Star Wars", but Lucas was quick and basically stole all of it

I was just saying no one would be crazy for thinking he was a black dude. Its not explicitly stated one way or another since race is treated differently in dune.

I don't think race in general was ever made a big deal about in the books. It was more about beliefs and religion.

No, never got to that part, I'll have to look up the single book complete edition. Thanks, user.

I love how there's still all this weird racism and religious bullshit going on, but it's the far future so it's all vaguely blurry from our perspective. Like the Orange Catholic Bible, or Zensunni Islam

I don't know, user. Star Wars is pretty far from Dune, obviously there are a shitload of separate elements Lucas took from Dune, but as a whole the settings are very different.

>Amy Schummer as Barone Harkkonen

Still though, it's amazing reading Dune for the first time and having it feel so familiar because you've seen pieces of it show up in media your whole life.

Star Wars depicts (initially, anyway) a feudal society in space where a boy on a sand planet teams up with a spice smuggler and learns the mystic ways of an ancient order of space wizards. It also has mystical and hyper-sharp swords, and there's sandworm skeletons on tatooine.

>Were they supposed to look like some kind of weird alien-abominations in the books too
The guild members you meet in the book are like low level functionaries that are blind from spice adiction but can predict things.
In the second book you meet a true guild navigator who has mutated and hes more of a fish man floating in a tank with pure spice pumped in while he eats pellets of raw spice to keep up his metabolism.
Lynch's navigator is an extremely lynchian interpretation, and definitely more interesting visually.
The sci fi miniseries of children of dune (combines dune messiah and children) has a more literal interpretation.
Think zero gravity orange abe sapien.

There was a recent flash porn game based on Dune and it's eerie how well it follows the plot.

I choose to believe fremen watersports is canon.

What did she mean by this?

really makes you think

what a fucking piece of shit game

Only reason Star Wars is far from Dune is because Lucas is a hack who can only write glorified childrens stories that are full of style but very little substance.

Herbert meanwhile was a fucking political writer who used the sci-fi backdrop as a vehicle for exploring society's obsession with hero worship and the danger of cults of personality. He wrote the first book as cookie-cutter hero's journey and then spent the next 3 books tearing the hero's journey apart. The deepest commentary Lucas could come up with was "I AM the senate"
