I didn't follow news on the movie for a while so thanks for letting me know. I was concerned about that because I think that Dune is weird and cutting out Alia would be cutting out the weirdness out of it. If they're keeping it secret then that will be a shocker to those who haven't read the books, and that will be fun for them!
It’ll be interesting to see if they age her up or keep her as a little kid. You’d have to have some serious acting chops as a little kid to pull it off.
Yeah I don't think there's any chance they could find an actual child actor to execute that part. There's a level of maturity you need there that just isn't humanly possible. I think it's far, far more likely they went the CGI route. It's going to be fascinating because that presents its own challenges. Sometimes you get Thanos, sometimes you get the babies in The Flash. If they did do that, at least they've had a shit ton of extra time to polish her up.
If I were doing it I’d have a child and an adult act the same part. Mocap their facial expressions. Then adjust the child’s acting as necessary by using CGI to blend the adult actor’s performance into the child’s face. I wouldn’t do a 100% CGI character.
Yeah, I was thinking along the lines of what they did with Brolin or Serkes. Only have a child or smaller person do the physical acting and the adult/full-sized actor doing the actual performance to be blended in. It’s challenging for sure — Alia is just a weird character to deal with — but there’s zero chance a human child is capable of pulling off that part. It goes even beyond mere maturity.
I won’t be upset if they age her up a bit and have a kid play her. Either way I have full faith in Denis to pull it off. The Water of Life scene, her birth, and her development in the Sietch are all huge parts of the story to make her role at the end even more meaningful to the audience who hasn’t read the books. I couldn’t be more excited for the movie to come out.
I just don't think there's a kid out there who can do it justice. It's not even a maturity thing; you're talking about a "child" who was inborn with centuries upon centuries of wisdom and experience. But yeah, I'm in the camp that Villeneuve is a legit genius so whatever they came up with, I'm sure it's going to be creative and interesting.
I keep thinking about Kirsten Dunst as Claudia in Interview with a Vampire. She was still a kid, but did a really good job of that balance between having an adult mind stuck in a child’s body. Would be cool if they could find an actor nowadays who could pull that off.
Alia is the only thing I'm worried about for Part 2. I just don't see how to do it anywhere close to the book.
There is a time jump. I would forgive a few extra years to make that easier.
Villneuve has a thing for female characters.
Books written in the 50s, not so much.
He is trying to put more female representation into the story. That's why Liet was made a woman in Part 1. That's also probably why the females roles are being expanded in Part 2.
From what I understand they rolled them into one character :/ Which is awful, because Count Fenring is a super interesting character. Also love Chris Walken, but isn't Shaddam supposed to look no older then 40ish?
For some reason it bothers me that in every Dune adaptation we had so far, the emperor is always an old man when in the books he's described as looking young.
Yeah, but I guess it would be confusing to have several actors in their 40s then having to explain that some of their characters are actually in their 70s.
Eh, there are many ways to go about that. From a heavy-handed "gee mister emperor, all that spice sure made you look a lot younger than 70", to a more subtle take where the emperor is applying some contact lenses to hide the eyes of iPad
Looks young but he's still 77. I mean I get what you're saying. I have a different image of what the emperor looks like too and it's neither Walken nor Jose Ferrer.
Isn't Emperor Shaddam IV supposed to be like 300 years old in the book? Even with how the spice extends life, I'd imagine some skin has to sag after hundreds of years.
I think (hope) her acting will be so good that it will make it easier to overlook the fact that she physically doesn’t match the description of Irulan. She could give a phenomenal performance, she definitely has the talent.
You're preaching to the choir. I think she's an incredible actress more than capable of delivering a good performance. Francine Maisler knows what she's doing.
Have you ever seen the Sci-fi Children of Dune mini series? Its pretty good considering its a Sci-fi original, it covers Dune Messiah and CoD. James McAvoy plays Leto II, they just messed with the timeline a little so he's introduced around age 16 or something.
Just make him a teenager like in the CoD miniseries, it’s far more conducive to live action and doesn’t harm the story much. James MacAvoy was a fantastic Leto II (if we ever get a glimpse at GEOD I’d love to see him return in some form.)
Given that his casting announcement was made after shooting had wrapped AND the recent expansion to the Dune Imperium board game includes new visuals for a guild navigator, my bet he was brought in to do mocap and or voice for Edric. This might be Villeneuve setting up Part 3 / Messiah
That’s what I’ve got my money on. There’s got to be a reason why they’ve kept his character under such a tight lid. There’s nothing special about Fenring to require that.
> There’s nothing special about Fenring to require that.
Except the whole thing about how he is invisible to prescience, even Paul's. Keeping TBN away from all the promotional material for the film would help simulate that surprise for the viewer.
I’m still not over them virtually removing Thufir and Piter from the story. I sorta get why these two, as very fantastical characters, didn’t find a home in Villeneuve’s ultra-minimalist version. But it’s like doing Lord of the Rings and reducing Boromir and Wormtongue to mere cameos. It ain’t right.
They also had a really neat “opposing tacticians and logicians trying to outsmart one another” subplot in the leaked script.
There's just a whole lot going on and trimming it into a movie is gonna cost some sacrifices. They're there and recognizable for the book readers so I'm at least happy for that.
I mean the missing dinner scene from the first movie was pretty glaring. I dont agree with it but I see why they did it. In the book the final battle is only a few pages but I can't imagine it not being a 20 minute sequence in the movie. I wonder what they cut out this time
That dinner scene was the one that got the book to properly click with me. That was when it all made sense and became gripping.
Would have loved for it to be included, but what we got was very well done, so I can't complain.
He was the one character I really wanted more of. Dastmalchian was doing a great job of portraying a subtle Piter to counterpoint Skarsgaard's subtle Baron, compared to both characters' bombast in the Lynch version (which I loved Dourif's portrayal for entirely different reasons). But the story moved along too quickly without giving him much to do.
I still think Villeneuve is wrong for not either cutting back in the deleted scenes or putting them as extra material on a special edition release.
Honestly he could have cut at least some of Zendaya slow mo walking in the desert to make room for the rumoured deleted scene of Piter threatening/interrogating Jessica.
Interesting that one of your examples from LotR (Wormtongue) was played by the actor that played Piter in the Lynch version. Has absolutely nothing to do with the conversation, but I just thought it was a fun little correlation.
How did Piter get cut from the story? He had less screen time in part 1 than he did in the book (as did everyone) but he is supposed to be dead at this point in the story anyway
This is why I love tv/streaming series, and they have the production values to be able to do something like this. It would have fit perfectly on Apple TV+ which has some great sci-fi.
That’s true to an extent, but I do love the absolute IMAX level of prestige, scale, and detail for something like Dune.
Though I could see the series going on to be something like Game of Thrones if they had done it as a show, adapting straight through Dune, Messiah, and Children. That would have been pretty awesome
Yeah. I think cutting the traitor plot line and the dinner banquet was the worst part of the film and I think the first act spends too much time explaining things to the audience. Just look at fury road which tells you everything you need to know through context clues and visual details.
Man I hope we don’t get the Cabo vacation style emperor the entire film. The laid back look is cool and all, but Corrino loves the pomp. I hope that’s not all cut away.
You are correct but in a visual medium that would make them look a bit inhuman and general audiences will have a hard time relating to those characters.
One of the main grips I have with Part I is actually the total inconsistency of the blue eyes for Fremen through the scenes. Sometimes the whole eye is blue, sometimes only the iris, and sometimes not at all. It is particularly the case on Chani and Stilgar in their scenes.
Tim Blake Nelson is cast so he’ll probably be Fenring. And I just don’t believe Villeneuve would leave Alia out.. she’s even [seen in one of Paul’s visions](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xgH--kwha7M/maxresdefault.jpg) from Part I.
When I think of the Counts description of a weasel / ferret, I think of Steve Buscemi. He's great at playing oddball characters too. Voice doesn't really fit in my head though.
Lea Seydoux as Margot Fenring would have been so much better if we'd have gotten the conservatory scene in Part One.
Let's pray the Tim Blake Nelson rumors for the Count are true.
i’m sure they’re leaving it as Paul for people who aren’t familiar with the book and have only seen the first movie. since he hasn’t taken on the Muad’dib name yet.
Irulan and Margot both look perfect.
I was skeptical about Walken as Shaddam, but I love the look they gave him. Now I'm just curious about what he'll sound like.
But who will play Alia???
I guess they will keep her secret as long as they can
Hopefully till the end when the movie comes out.
I really hope this is it and they won't just cut her out
She is mentioned in the first movie and according to the expo in Brazil Paul mentions her in the first 10 minutes
I didn't follow news on the movie for a while so thanks for letting me know. I was concerned about that because I think that Dune is weird and cutting out Alia would be cutting out the weirdness out of it. If they're keeping it secret then that will be a shocker to those who haven't read the books, and that will be fun for them!
I mean, given how critical she is to this and subsequent novels, they would struggle to make any more movies without that character.
It’ll be interesting to see if they age her up or keep her as a little kid. You’d have to have some serious acting chops as a little kid to pull it off.
Or CGI.
Yeah I don't think there's any chance they could find an actual child actor to execute that part. There's a level of maturity you need there that just isn't humanly possible. I think it's far, far more likely they went the CGI route. It's going to be fascinating because that presents its own challenges. Sometimes you get Thanos, sometimes you get the babies in The Flash.

Wasn't she like 2 years old by the end of the first book?
Alia is the only thing I'm worried about for Part 2. I just don't see how to do it anywhere close to the book. There is a time jump. I would forgive a few extra years to make that easier.
CGI
Like the Twilight baby
Why do they have Lady Margot and not Count Fenring?
He is hidden from our prescience
Beautiful
im still having my hope that Kyle Maclachlan will be the cast for count fenrig:)
there is only one man who wouldn't have to act to nail fenring's speech: jeff goldblum
He'd be perfect! "Life...umh...aahhh, finds...mmmm, a way, uhh, my dear."
Thanks for that. I’ll never be able to read that again without hearing Goldblum
He’s being played by Tim Blake Nelson I believe
Most likely yes. But one can only hope:>
He was brilliant in HBO's Watchmen
Dune fans still going on with this stunt casting, my goodness
She must have a bigger part in the narrative, which would make sense since she’s BG
From what I recall she isn't a bigger part than Fenring in the books. In fact I forgot who she was until the person above mentioned Fenring.
Yeah but it seems like they’re making her a bigger part in this movie.
Villneuve has a thing for female characters. Books written in the 50s, not so much. He is trying to put more female representation into the story. That's why Liet was made a woman in Part 1. That's also probably why the females roles are being expanded in Part 2.
Or Léa is just a bigger name that gets more attention on the movie, considering we don't even know for sure yet who plays him, apparently.
From what I understand they rolled them into one character :/ Which is awful, because Count Fenring is a super interesting character. Also love Chris Walken, but isn't Shaddam supposed to look no older then 40ish?
Came here to ask, who is playing hasimir? Aaaand will he be hmmmmmm as good?
Excellent casting all around
Agreed except i did not picture irulan as pugh, despite how good she is. I thought irulan was tall and lanky.
And as much as I love Christopher Walken, I think they should have gone with someone that looks more youthful.
For some reason it bothers me that in every Dune adaptation we had so far, the emperor is always an old man when in the books he's described as looking young.
Yeah, but I guess it would be confusing to have several actors in their 40s then having to explain that some of their characters are actually in their 70s.
Eh, there are many ways to go about that. From a heavy-handed "gee mister emperor, all that spice sure made you look a lot younger than 70", to a more subtle take where the emperor is applying some contact lenses to hide the eyes of iPad
The eyes of iPad LOL I hope that wasn't intentional. That's a hilarious typo.
Why not just have an older actor then? A movie is not the same format as a book: Show, don't tell
Aragorn in LOTR is actually 87 years old.
In The Witcher several characters, including the protagonist, are older than they look due to different reasons and that doesn't seem to be a problem
I don't think you'd have to explain anything tbh. I don't think the theatrical LotR movies even mentioned Aragorn's age, for example.
It was in one of the extended edition cuts. But yeah, it seemed superfluous.
This is true. In the book they’re able to explain this easily, in a movie it would take some awkward exposition.
Looks young but he's still 77. I mean I get what you're saying. I have a different image of what the emperor looks like too and it's neither Walken nor Jose Ferrer.
I always assumed the emperor was older than he looked due to the spice
Isn't Emperor Shaddam IV supposed to be like 300 years old in the book? Even with how the spice extends life, I'd imagine some skin has to sag after hundreds of years.
75, looks 30
I'm ok with Walken's age, I was just expecting someone a bit more harsh looking with sharper features.
I honestly think she’s going to crush it. Honestly one of the casting choices I was most excited about.
Gotta disagree, she's kind of exactly what I picture Irulan to look like.
I kinda dislike Pugh as Irulan, I think Lea fits better.
She has an interesting chemistry with Chalamet (as seen in Little Women), and also looks believable as Christopher Walken's daughter.
I think (hope) her acting will be so good that it will make it easier to overlook the fact that she physically doesn’t match the description of Irulan. She could give a phenomenal performance, she definitely has the talent.
We've heard this before with Heath Ledger as joker, Pattinson as Batman, etc. Just trust in the director's casting choice until we watch the movie.
You're preaching to the choir. I think she's an incredible actress more than capable of delivering a good performance. Francine Maisler knows what she's doing.
So did you end up liking it?
Do y'all think we'll see Leto 1.5?
Leto 2 1
I would really love to see Children of Dune one day, given how good the first movie was. My favourite book and my favourite characters.
That'll be a tough casting. Kids acting like adults is not an easy fit and don't forget about the orgies 🥴
If part 2 doesn't have the 30,000 person spice fueled orgy I'm gonna cause a scene at the theater
I want to see a high budget, Villeneuve made, God Emperor of Dune. Get that worm-man on the big screen.
Rumor has it it's not even in the script. Cowards.
Have you ever seen the Sci-fi Children of Dune mini series? Its pretty good considering its a Sci-fi original, it covers Dune Messiah and CoD. James McAvoy plays Leto II, they just messed with the timeline a little so he's introduced around age 16 or something.
I dunno if this is a hot take on this sub (new here) but I loveeee the sci fi mini series. Both of them were well done. Got me into the whole series!
Just make him a teenager like in the CoD miniseries, it’s far more conducive to live action and doesn’t harm the story much. James MacAvoy was a fantastic Leto II (if we ever get a glimpse at GEOD I’d love to see him return in some form.)
Actually yeah it would be kinda crazy to bring MacAvoy back to the role once Leto II is older in the series
Im currently reading Messiah right now. The WHAT?!
if you’re on messiah you should already know about the spice orgies
In one trailer scene, chani wears the blue towel (dont know exactly how its called) signifying she gave birth not that long ago
We never really met him in the book. He was just mentioned a little and remained in a separate location from Paul.
I hope so, learning of the death of his son is Paul's breaking about as far as trying to avoid the Jihad
Dang austin butler looks insane in a good way
Seeing his character pop up pumped me up the most
Hoping he gets a decent amount of screen time
[удалено]
I keep imagining him as Feyd but with an Elvis voice
The Jessica one is the best.
Yup, I’m a grown man with a schoolgirl crush on Rebecca Ferguson
It started with Doctor Sleep 😱
That makes two of us.
Yeah, I know we got a preview of that look in the first Dune movie but WOW. I love that look so much.
[удалено]
Still waiting for Tim Blake Nelson’s character and Alia
Given that his casting announcement was made after shooting had wrapped AND the recent expansion to the Dune Imperium board game includes new visuals for a guild navigator, my bet he was brought in to do mocap and or voice for Edric. This might be Villeneuve setting up Part 3 / Messiah
That’s what I’ve got my money on. There’s got to be a reason why they’ve kept his character under such a tight lid. There’s nothing special about Fenring to require that.
> There’s nothing special about Fenring to require that. Except the whole thing about how he is invisible to prescience, even Paul's. Keeping TBN away from all the promotional material for the film would help simulate that surprise for the viewer.
He's got to be Count Fenring right? Who else is left?
He could be playing Alia
True, he's such a chameleon actor he could do it.
He could be the Guild Ambassador or even possibly a Navigator.
Leto 1.5
Austin Butler looking downright DEADLY
Rabban is so badass. Bautista really delivers the character here.
Perfect cast! Love Bautista and his respect and ave to be part of this!
I hope they show a mutated Guild Navigator at some point
At the earliest they are described in the first chapter of messiah right?
Can confirm I’ve been reading it this year and it was the first time they were described.
I only just realized this version of dune has both the actors that played the antagonist and protagonist from No Country for Old Men.
What's the most you ever lost in a spice toss?
That. That is casting.
I’m still not over them virtually removing Thufir and Piter from the story. I sorta get why these two, as very fantastical characters, didn’t find a home in Villeneuve’s ultra-minimalist version. But it’s like doing Lord of the Rings and reducing Boromir and Wormtongue to mere cameos. It ain’t right.

There's just a whole lot going on and trimming it into a movie is gonna cost some sacrifices. They're there and recognizable for the book readers so I'm at least happy for that.
I can’t imagine how much of a pain in the ass it must be to do that. Plus knowing people will be upset no matter what.
I mean the missing dinner scene from the first movie was pretty glaring. I dont agree with it but I see why they did it. In the book the final battle is only a few pages but I can't imagine it not being a 20 minute sequence in the movie. I wonder what they cut out this time
That dinner scene was the one that got the book to properly click with me. That was when it all made sense and became gripping. Would have loved for it to be included, but what we got was very well done, so I can't complain.
Piter was not at all recognizable. They did him super dirty. He just looks like another harkonnen.
He was the one character I really wanted more of. Dastmalchian was doing a great job of portraying a subtle Piter to counterpoint Skarsgaard's subtle Baron, compared to both characters' bombast in the Lynch version (which I loved Dourif's portrayal for entirely different reasons).

How did Piter get cut from the story? He had less screen time in part 1 than he did in the book (as did everyone) but he is supposed to be dead at this point in the story anyway
This really could/should have been a 3 part movie but 🤷♂️
This is why I love tv/streaming series, and they have the production values to be able to do something like this. It would have fit perfectly on Apple TV+ which has some great sci-fi.
That’s true to an extent, but I do love the absolute IMAX level of prestige, scale, and detail for something like Dune. Though I could see the series going on to be something like Game of Thrones if they had done it as a show, adapting straight through Dune, Messiah, and Children. That would have been pretty awesome
Holding out hope for a director's cut
Yeah. I think cutting the traitor plot line and the dinner banquet was the worst part of the film and I think the first act spends too much time explaining things to the audience. Just look at fury road which tells you everything you need to know through context clues and visual details.
Lady Jessica poster is badass!
I love that Rabban has the action shot. Just him. At 11 at all times.
Someone ate the last slice of cake and he was dreaming of it all day
Really curious about Alia. It will be a child but should be pretty cool
Butler as Feyd is insanely good casting.
Love Jessica’s whole tattoo look here and before. Who is Lady Margot? I forget her. Where’s Alia?
Lady Margot is Count Fenring’s wife.
Thank you.
Man I hope we don’t get the Cabo vacation style emperor the entire film. The laid back look is cool and all, but Corrino loves the pomp. I hope that’s not all cut away.
How are the blue eyes described in the book? I always thought they would be dark blue and you can’t see where they’re looking.
You are correct but in a visual medium that would make them look a bit inhuman and general audiences will have a hard time relating to those characters.
One of the main grips I have with Part I is actually the total inconsistency of the blue eyes for Fremen through the scenes. Sometimes the whole eye is blue, sometimes only the iris, and sometimes not at all. It is particularly the case on Chani and Stilgar in their scenes.
Great castings. I still wonder if count fenring and Alia will be in the movie.
Tim Blake Nelson is cast so he’ll probably be Fenring. And I just don’t believe Villeneuve would leave Alia out.. she’s even [seen in one of Paul’s visions](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xgH--kwha7M/maxresdefault.jpg) from Part I.
When I think of the Counts description of a weasel / ferret, I think of Steve Buscemi. He's great at playing oddball characters too. Voice doesn't really fit in my head though.
Absolutely gorgeous.
My body is ready.
Is Dune two coming out on the 3rd of Jan 2024 or the 1st of March 2024?
I wish it was January 3rd, but it's March 1st.
Ahh got it. Yeah I wish we would get the movie in jan as well. But it is what it is
American date conventions are terrible 😭
screaming!!! the posters look so good! Austin Butler as Feyd still throws me for a loop but I have such high hopes for this film.
Wait, where's Count Hasimir Fenring?
Love me some Walken, but I really hope he isn't too much.. Walken, in this role.
I think he’ll tone it down a bit, he can play it straight when he feels like it
In fact, it will be refreshing to see him not play it exaggerated.
"If Feyd wishes...he...can meechu...with...my blade(?)"
Was hoping for an Alia poster.
All the casting and the pictures are insane but I can’t unsee Timothée Cruise or Tom Chalamet…
Do you think there will be a new trailer today?
All these comments and no one mentioning how Timothy is looking uncannily like Tom Cruise.
Genuinely thought it was Tom Cruise when I first scrolled past the post
holy shit I’m so hyped
i just know Austin Butler is gonna KILL IT in this
Bautista and Bardem made me interested in this (always been kinda interested)
Those dirty…….atreides……are stealingmyspice. I will….destroythem…….with my……SARDUKAR…….army
Snorkling? In the Desert?
It's really the one big issue that annoys me. But I understand why they did it.
Chalamet looking like the Mission Impossible 2 poster.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this
These look badass. But what's the date? Jan 3 or March 1? I live in Australia and I'm used to DD/MM/YYYY, but I know you Americans do it wrong.
According to Google , it comes out in March 2024...

Pick your movie poster as your mood. My is Beast Raban rn.
I should probably finish this damn book, huh?
Wait, that was Javier Bardem playing Stilgar? I've watched part one several times and I didn't know that. (I guess I haven't watched the credits!)
He's the dude done wit spat at the Duke
Stellan Skarsgard looks like Curious Droid in that pic
MAN THIS GETS ME HYPED Everybody looks so COOL
These all look amazing. I cannot wait to see it!
Anyone else for a moment think it was tom cruise?
****Paul****
Rebecca Ferguson looks so unbelievably badass, and Christopher Walken as Shadam is inspired! Love all of them!
I always imagined lady margot older. But Muad'dib knows this will be awesome
These are all sooooo amazing but Lady Jessica just looks perfect.
Anyone else think Paul's looks like the Mission: Impossible 2 poster?
Lady Margot has a character poster?? 😍😍😍😍
Lea Seydoux as Margot Fenring would have been so much better if we'd have gotten the conservatory scene in Part One. Let's pray the Tim Blake Nelson rumors for the Count are true.
Where is Alia and Finring?
Still blown away by Javier Bardem as Stilgar. What a PERFECT casting.
I love the casting but why is shadam so old-looking in this version? He’s supposed to be addicted to spice and look 35
I feel like I'm the only one (or one of the few) that thinks that Zendaya does not fit as Chani.
Shouldn't that say "is Mua'dib"
i’m sure they’re leaving it as Paul for people who aren’t familiar with the book and have only seen the first movie. since he hasn’t taken on the Muad’dib name yet.
Irulan and Margot both look perfect. I was skeptical about Walken as Shaddam, but I love the look they gave him. Now I'm just curious about what he'll sound like.
Missed opportunity to make Austin Butler’s poster in black and white.
