I think that the young Actor who playing Paul Atreidies is perfect for the job. If you’ve read the book, you will know that Paul was a 15 year old boy when he came to Arakkis. The actor who’s playing him looks young enough to do so.

The director of this film is working with modern technology, and a blockbuster budget. It’s going to be 2 films, and we might actually be able to see the world of Dune the way that Frank Herbert imagined it.

.yeah, I’m looking forward to it. But, I don’t know how well anybody could pull it off. So much of Dune takes place inside the the character’s heads, the inner monologues, that it’s hard to translate to the screen Lynch tried to use voiceovers but it didn’t really work. I hope they get the Baron right. I didn’t think either of the previous efforts did the Baron well. Lynch made him this buffoonish cartoon character and the Sci-Fy version was too laid back. He’s a great villain and key to getting the story right.

I appreciate your opinion, but my first impression is the strongest with me.

We’ll see.
