I heard about it, then watched the preview.
Paul Atreides looks effeminate, like a soy boy. Don’t like it.
I liked the three part series that came out in 2000. Wasn’t perfect, but I liked it. Didn’t like the movie with Sting.
I subject it is infected by social justice given that they gender-swapped Liet Kynes.
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.
In the book, Paul was supposed to be early teens... So yeah... Soy Boy actually is more accurate the Kyle’s portrayal...
What chaps my goat is flipping genders on Liet, the enviro-nazi/anti-capitalist messaging, etc...
