Dune

Elijah Wood wouldn't make a good teen or adult Paul. Is ultimately what I am saying.

as for duncan idaho:

Too young, methinks?

duncan was kinda young though.

i assume this based on the first ghola kissing a 15 year old alia. (this ghola, like the rest till after god emporer. were all the same age when introduced)

I always thought he was around 30.

He was older than Paul, and Paul was a lot older than Alia.

i dunno. imho duncan has too much honor and game to pursue some 30+ on 15 pedo action

true enough. alia was likely born when paul was 16, so when alia was 15, paul was over 30.

hmmm duncan was a bit pedo, huh

What happens in Arrakis stays in Arrakis.

ok still pondering this. forgot to figure in that duncan had a 15+ year gap between dying and becoming a ghola, after which was the same age. its possible if not likely that paul was older than duncan in dune messiah

If he were older I doubt it was by much.

also, keep in mind that this is at best still 3-4 years in the distance, so imho he could work. having the black goat hair will at least tell us casting did their homework. i mean really lynch's duncan idaho was an offense and an obscenity.

also keep in mind that duncan is the only character to span the saga, so he should be cast young just in case we hit jackpot and they continue the saga, since he'll need to look the same age all the way through god emporer.

finally some news.

About time. Now they need to get solid screen writer(s) and director.

Thinking Peter Jackson if they plan on doing several films. Or Guillermo del Toro, though I'd rather have del Toro take on 'At The Mountains of Madness', that needs to get made.

legendary tho...i dunno man

their resume reads like a plane crash, imo. flying high on batman begins and TDK, followed by a decade-long nose-dive.

Universal too.

The agreement allows Legendary and Universal Pictures to develop film and television projects based on the franchise for a global audience.

Sounds good to me. I read the books last year and they can only go up from the old eighties film. It should be promising

Rumour has it Denis Villeneuve might be up for directing Dune. Now, that I'd think would be a very good choice.

But first let's see what he does with Blade Runner.

Great movie.

Boring books, boring movie.

Hopefully a reboot will be worth watching though.

Beautiful multi-layered books.
