The entire Paul / Sting knife fight set to the Police's "Don't stand so close to me". The entire fight, maybe with some extra reaction shots.. could be the music video.
is it wrong that this is making me giddy ?
and, i would love to see Patrick Stewart back in it. I enjoy his work. I recently got to watch a movie of his again "Safe House".. and I enjoy it greatly when its on. That movie, and him, rocks.

Is that the one were he's a spy who's suffering from alzheimer's?
OT: They need to make Dune less like epic sci-fi and more like a political thriller. Because really that's what most of it is.

yes... until it turns out
its all true!
Really.. I thought he was superb as a man loosing his grip on what he thought was real... the scene where the maid helps him with his 'under attack' situation was really one of my favs of all time.
Dune set in present times would be cool. (of course, you know it would be interpreted as an anti-bush tirade) problem is. spice is analogous to oil. But you really can't have the main character gulping down some oil to expand his awareness or to become prescient

Yeah I really enjoyed that movie. It was one of those I stumbled onto on some movie channel while flipping through channels one day. Probably one of Stewart's better roles actually.

I like the list, but James Franco just looks too old to be a plausible Paul to me. I can't readily think of someone who would really fit the role though.

The thing about Irulan, is that unless you're going to take the miniseries route. Irulan is a nothing role until you get to Children of Dune. I personally loved how they portrayed Irulan in the miniseries..I'm just saying that it would be odd seeing Scarlett just sitting there, doing nothing
Though your list wins because of Keira Knightley as Chani
John Malkovich as Thufir Hawat? God, I hope not - the movie will be long enough without Malkovich putting . . . in pauses wherever . . . he wants making . . . him sound . . . stoned or drunk or . . . both.
I have no problem with the rest of the dream cast, though.
That's odd... I just finished reading Dune for the first time, and I had no idea they were making a new movie.
Anyway, it was very good. Some parts seem like they'd be impossible to translate into film, though. How did they handle Paul's 'prescient memory' in the older adaptations? That was hard enough to visualize in my imagination. I have no idea how they'd put it on film.
I got as far as God Emperor of Dune and stopped caring about the series. I don't even know if I could pick it up again now because I've forgotten a lot of what happened. It just got to be a bit too much for me. I liked the first couple books though.

They definitely get harder to read at that point in the series. I'm not afraid to admit it, a lot of the later books just simply go over my head a lot of times because I just don't quite understand what exactly is going on. Part of that is by design I think because Herbert doesn't want you knowing everything. But there are times where I was simply lost

Nobody does insane inscrutable imagery like David Lynch.

Well, she's built like a Fremen. Which, for a woman coming from a nation that has weather like Caladan (IIRC)...irony!
Except have him play a cowbell instead of a baliset.
Mood?
There's no... mood... for fighting.. boy!
Mood is for... making love,... or playing cowbell!
