    We have Josh Brolin playing Gurney Halleck who is Weapons Master of House Atreides and one of Paul Atreides’ mentors. Not confirmed yet but we don’t think he’ll be snapping his fingers in this one. :p

    Wait, I thought this was supposed to be a starship captain?

    Glad to hear that they finished production months ago. Hopefully that includes reshoots as well. Post production will be a challenge for the VFx floor but the editing bays are usually sparsely populated.

    Not sure about this. Gurney is supposed to be rough looking, with a prominent scar on his face. Brolin is almost too polished looking for Gurney.

    Well, Gurney and Lady Jessica are a couple in Children of Dune so maybe they wanted someone semi-rough looking with that in mind? I mean, one could kind of sense that's where they were going after their reunion at the Sietch in Dune. Gurneywas too "witch this, witch that" in the novel for their relationshop not to evolve.

    Brolin is polished looking? The guy is the definition of gruff and unpolished.

    his armor is polished and it's so overwhelming it makes him look polished too. [face_tee_hee]

    That is very grungy armor. Polished armor looks like this.

    I’ve loved almost everything I’ve seen of Villeneuve’s Dune. But this armor is not my favorite.

    It does look as though his left side is scarred, considerably. It is angled to be out of frame in that pic but, if you follow the contour of that side of his face, it does look jagged and uneven, compared to what the profile of an unscarred person ought to be.

    The spartan simplicity of the red hawk, the angular lines of that ship, and of that armor, is a bit Starship Troopers. (oops - remarked upon already) How intentional, how unconscious, is that? Does the creator have an excellent reason to borrow that iconography. Will there be Verhoeven strata.

    Probably better than they did in the old one.
