I hope they add a whole new planet called "Wokeia" or "Urbania" or "Melonia" inhabitated entirely with Black people.

The Dindee Alliance.

I hope they don't go crazy.

The Liet Kynes thing is already annoying.

There was no shortage of major female characters, Lady Jessica, Irulan, Chani, and the entire Bene Gesserit.

Agreed.

And I think the reason for the small blowback.

If there's one book that already has a number of strong, interesting female characters it is Dune.

There was really no need for this.

It's strange that this is the only character and cast member they have not officially confirmed.

Always thought the actual books were very blah so never got into it enough to watch any of the movies fully. I think I started the first one (1984) at some point but could not finish.

Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think they've announced who is playing the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV.

No matter what, visually, especially with Villeneuve's excellent use of full-scale props, miniatures and practical effects with subtle use of CGI blending in, it should look amazing.

They can't miss. The original was so disjointed and cornball, anything they do now will shine.

Herbert must have been shitting kittens.

Agreed.

Unfortunately...

Sharon Duncan-Brewster as Dr. Liet-Kynes ::)



Take white male character and turn him into black woman character.

Only thing to ask is...


WHY?




Love the Atreides-armor though, looking forward to seeing the Harkonnens!

Quote
Villeneuve has also updated Dr. Liet Kynes, the leading ecologist on Arrakis and an independent power broker amid the various warring factions. Although always depicted as a white man, the character is now played by Sharon Duncan-Brewster (Rogue One), a black woman. “What Denis had stated to me was there was a lack of female characters in his cast, and he had always been very feminist, pro-women, and wanted to write the role for a woman,” Duncan-Brewster says.

Dear God. ::)

One has to ask...

Did he ever even read the book? ???

Quote
“This human being manages to basically keep the peace amongst many people. Women are very good at that, so why can’t Kynes be a woman? Why shouldn’t Kynes be a woman?” Duncan-Brewster says.

Simple, lady.

It wasn't written that way. :P

I don't believe it was Villeneuve's idea to do this. It seems like the studio wanted another female character.

I think this was a compromise he had to make in order to have otherwise full creative control of the film.
