While confirmed, sources say Pattinson would play the villain role of Scytale

There you go, the single piece of information anyone wants to know about this

Last time I read about it I was curious who he'd play, I was just listening to Dune before seeing this and finally realized that was the only real role (unless it was a recast one, but that seemed unlikely) that'd be worthwhile for a more well known actor....I guess it could have been the guild navigator, I forgot about him.

Mean there are a few minor roles that they could expand on but why would they focus on irrelevant items when there's so much story to cover? Oh....

I say that as enjoying Dune as a cinematic movie but they really didn't do the story justice. So much great intrigue story with it barely discussed. I only did watch them once so maybe missed some finer points

No way they could pack all the intrigue into a movie. As it was they had to rush some explanations, without blatant exposition, still did damned well.

One example; think on all of Princess Irulan's writings at the chapter beginnings.

Even the miniseries rushed some of the politics, and it's three feature length episodes put together.

Zombie Duncan played by Jason Momoa sounds fun

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Jason Momoa is the weakest part of the first movie. Why is he always smirking? Why does he deliver every line the same way? Get him out of here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

The whole point of Duncan is to be this gorgeous Uber-warrior, which he landed.

You have to consciously ignore him otherwise.
