Over at Alex on Film I’ve been looking at the adaptations made (and not made) of Frank Herbert’s novel Dune: David Lynch’s 1984 version, a documentary on the Dune movie Alejandro Jodorowsky didn’t make, and Denis Villeneuve’s 2021 blockbuster.
To be honest, I’m not a huge fan of the book(s), but that may be because I’m not much into that blend of SF and Fantasy. Denis Villeneuve’s movie was widely praised though, and if you loved the novel then I think you’d be happy. This Timothée Chalamet fellow, however, is not winning me over.

And yet Tim is a massive fan of you and your writing; did you two fall out?

I just want him to be the best Chalemet he can can be. Maybe he thinks I’m pushing too hard.

Chalamet is a bit too foppish for me, I’d have cast Reeve Carney for a Paul.

Was going to say I hadn’t seen Carney in anything, but I did a search and I guess I did catch him in The Tempest. Don’t remember him well though.
Chalamet’s floppy hair in Dune is a bit much.
