Zimmydoom, Zimmydoom
Flew away in a balloon
Had sex with polar bears
While sitting in a reclining chair
Now there are Zim-Bear hybrids
Running around and clawing eyelids
Watch out, a Zim-Bear is about to have sex with yooooooou!
remind me again why they can't make a movie 5 hours long? I think it would be worth it in this case.
people have to watch it.
anyway, this shouldn't be just a visualisation of every page like you want - it should be an interpretation else there's no value in it except for fanboy fodder.
My love for the original Dune novel began when I had to read it in high school. Take that, nerds who didn't want to read The Great Gatsby! I've never picked up the sequels Herbert or the "sequels" by *shudder* Kevin J. Anderson...
Yeah I liked the Sci-fi mini series of Dune and the other mini-series that covered the second and third books in the series. So while this movie may suck, at least I can enjoy the David Lynch-weird-awesomeness of the original and the excellent acting of the mini-series.
And you know what? Patrick Stewart better be in this version, any big or small part really. 'Cause he's awesome!

Even if its the part of one of those water seller chicks?
Even if they do this movie somewhat well (like the miniseries), its still going to be way too long. There is simply too much stuff going on in Dune to put it into a single movie, I dont see any way of pulling it off in under 3 hours.
Even if Patrick Stewart doesnt play Gurney Halleck again he should still be in this someplace and he should call Paul "young pup" at least once just because.
Patrick Stewart should fly in with the Enterprise at the last moment, try to negotiate a compromise & FairTrade spice for everyone, opine a bit about how conflict is bad, and that marrying off the Princess as part of the deal is terribly uncivilised and humanity is beyond that in the 90's.
And then the massed fleets of Sardukaar should blow them out of the sky for being pussies.

Also I don't know if any of you watch The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, but the beauty contest episode has a Gom Jabbar reference which just about made me do a spit take.
It also had an entire episode that basically parodied God-Emperor of Dune, which was glorious.
They did in the Lynch filum, I forget whether they were in the book. If they don't, they should do. And they should vaporise the Enterprise. In a suitably ultra-violent and imperialistic manner.

Damn I missed that one! Have to go check it out.
Re:Fleets
I believe those were all Guild ships. The Emperor and everyone else kisses their ass. I don't know how they would fare in a space battle against Star Trek tech though they certainly seem more limited. You'd have to get Sardaukar ON to the Enterprise. And then see how those half body shields fare against phasers.
Practicalities, practicalities. Sardukaar would comprehensively rape their eye-sockets. Everyone (even Trekkies) knows that Star Trek types would die horribly in any collision with another storyline that didn't hand out deux ex machina like candy.

The Guild may have transported the Saudaukar there, but Imperial warships could have been in the Heighliners.
NARRATOR: Look, it's raining. How is this possible? For he is the Shwizatz Haderach!
EMPEROR: HAX!
Haha. When the Indiana Jones movies came out on DVD, my brother and I had a running joke exactly like what you just said. We'd "write" aloud our own Lucas screenplays from his perspective while watching one of his movies, but specifically it would include the "How is this possible?!" And "Incredible, Indy escapes! I can't believe it!"

We don't need a new movie. We need another mini-series with the same people from Children of Dune (sequel, gimme)! I loved Children of Dune. More of that, please.

Well, the books after Children of Dune are were it really starts getting strange.
I don't see a reason why someone would actually want to make a movie out of those books. I mean, there's some small stories within those books one could make a movie of, but the complete story? No way, Jose.
Yeah. And Leto II in God Emperor feels more like a background figure with tons of smaller stories wrapped around him, and if you skip those stories, what is there left to make a movie from?
I never really got Patrick Stewart as Gurney Halleck in the Lynch version. And now, I actually think he could make a good Thufir Hawat. Or perhaps a good Emperor.
The guy who played Halleck in the miniseries was great. So, either him, or someone like him would be great. Ha, maybe someone like Colm Meaney (O'Brien on TNG and DS9) could do the role justice. Although that sounds a little bit like aiming too low.
For Leto, we really need someone with a more hawkish face. It's supposed to be a very distinctive Atreides trait. Paul should have that too, but in a lesser manner. I didn't like the looks for these two characters in the miniseries (no black hair or hawkish features...) even though I preferred their performances. Actually, for Leto, Hugo Weaving could probably do it well, although he's becoming a little over-exposed in all those big epic movies and franchises (LotR, Matrix, V for Vendetta...) Kind of like how Harrison Ford, within less than 10 years, managed to star in Star Wars, Indiana Jones AND Blade Runner.
Brad Dourif MUST play Piter DeVries.
I'll have to give more thought to the rest of the cast... I still can't think of someone right to play the Baron...
I would also welcome a new perspective on Alia.
Lastly, they should break up the novel into three movies, like the book was split up into three parts. Either that, or make it into two movies. It's a toss-up between 3x2h movies, or 2x3h movies, I think. 3x3h would be pushing it, and might seem overlong, considering what happens in the middle part.

do phasers count as lazguns?
the polar opposite of cinnamon is frogs. Later on in the beauty contest episode, they also reuse some of the trippy bits of the original dune movie.

And I always kinda thought of Gourney Halleck as an R. Lee Ermey kinda guy.
but this is why I don't cast movies for a living. :P
I'm at a loss, is there some sort of word play we can do that combines Brimley's "beetis" gag with something in Dune?
