Every so often, you come across an interview that sparks something while reading it. We just happened to come across one such from the Tampa Bay Times– an interview with actor Dave Bautista.

Okay, this is the first bit of casting news from Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune for Legendary Pictures that has us asking “really?” According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jason Momoa is currently “in talks” to play Atreides man and sword master, Duncan Idaho. We’re not sure how we feel about this one for […]

Today in “What’s happenin on Arrakis”- yet another interesting casting announcement for the upcoming Denis Villeneuve adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune for Legendary Pictures.

It’s always nice when an actor can pass along advice to the next generation to carry on a notable role. Such is the case with Kyle MacLachlan, who played the character of Paul Atreides in David Lynch’s 1984 film version of Dune by Frank Herbert.
