I think the role should go to a relative unknown – especially for US audiences.Ĭharacter Description: Duke Leto is Paul, the protagonist’s, father. I’m not sure if he could manage the depths that Whishaw can, but he did show some range as the spoiled and vain titular character in The Portrait of Dorian Gray, and was a handsome action hero in Prince Caspian. could work to the film’s advantage.Īlternate: Ben Barnes. I think being a relative unknown here in the U.S. Proof? Watch his eerie lead performance in Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. He could believably look innocent and conceal depths of emotion and cunning. He’s capable of the depths of the role, and manages to look either young or deceptively older depending on the role. Ben is best known for playing immortal poet John Keats in the indie flick Bright Star and for playing Sebastian Flyte in Brideshead Revisited. Paul must age in the movie from a young teen to an adult.įirst Choice: Ben Whishaw. He is the heir to one of the great noble houses of the universe, and might be the key to an ancient prophecy. Casting only bankable US actors could backfire big time in such an epic.Ĭharacter Description: Paul begins the novel as a highly intuitive young boy – skilled in the arts of combat and mental agility. Most of my choices are relatively unknown in the US, but I think that would be a wise route for Morel to take. I’ve listed a first and second choice for the main cast. Here I give my own(exalted) opinion of who would be a great fit for the major roles. Still, I think this original post is still a fun way to dream about the ideal cast, IF another version ever gets made at this point. As of now, there is no confirmation Dune: Part Two will also be made available on HBO Max when it’s ready to be released.Well, according to this link ( ), the Paramount deal is dead in the water and the rights have reverted back to the original owner, who while he still seems interested in shopping it out to another studio, I have my doubts. ![]()
