I’m sorry, but I just can’t get behind an elderly Christopher Walken as the Emperor.

Why not?

In the book the Emperor is described as looking no older than 35 despite being in his seventies. However all three adaptations have for some reason had the Emperor portrayed by much older actors, though in the 2000 miniseries’ defence they aged up the Emperor and said he was 200 years old. I want to see a Dune adaptation that is faithful to the book in that one particular aspect and finally casts an actor in his late thirties to early forties as the Emperor to convey the whole point of the rejuvenating effects of the Spice. Either one of Damien Lewis or Michael Fassbender would have been perfect in the role.

Don’t tell me it can’t be done! Cate Blanchett portrayed 3000-year-old Galadriel and we totally bought that she was that old.

I read an interview with Walken where he said he loves to dance and manages to work some improv dance moves into every role he takes, so does this mean we’re going to get a dancing Emperor?

I saw Dune: Part Two on Saturday, in 70mm. It was visually beautiful, sonically consuming (in a good way), and pretty great the whole time. The middle part, around when they find the atomics, felt a little off. I wish they’d included the Thufir stuff, and Count Fenring as well, but ah well, you have to trust Villeneuve to know what he’s doing.

Very excited for the eventual conclusion of this trilogy.

An aspect of Dune: Part 2 that felt very lacking to me was Sietch Tabr. What was shown was nice, but it felt like we barely got to see how the Fremen lived within the Sietch.

That’s why I liked Part 1 more, if just slightly: that’s where much of the worldbuilding happens.

You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.

Or do I?

All I know is that I want a Dune adaptation that finally delivers a book-accurate Emperor Shaddam IV.

TBH, I kinda forgot this was coming. But now that I’m reminded, I’m hyped.

Skipping Children of Dune going straight into Dune Messiah is certainly a choice. I guess we will never get proper adaptations of the novels. The film Dune 3 is Dune 4 and skipped Dune 3.

Pass. I have zero interest in further chapters of Villeneuve’s overhyped dog and pony show.

Messiah is the second one, Children is third.
