Dune I finally gave a great sci-fi novel the type of cinematic treatment that it deserved. The original Dune movie was really a stinkbomb, and while the Sci-Fi channel did a solid miniseries version, it doesn’t hold a candle to this new version.
Only problem: it only told about HALF the novel’s story, so a sequel is, of course, in order.
And the cast is looking GREAT!!!
On top of the returnees from last time (Tim Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya, etc)…Christopher Walken has been cast as Emperor Shaddam, and Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha.
Dune was cinematically beautiful but but lacking in any joy. It was a snoozer. The only character that had life was Duncan but he was killed. Dune was an emo delight.
