The book wasn't good. I will still give the movie a shot, and hope it's good.
Whaaaat...
When did you read it? I’m reading it now for the first time (though the 1984 movie tie-in edition has been a favorite possession since I was a kid) and have to say I was pleasantly surprised. And this is from a grade A lit snob.
It’s making me wonder what other genre stuff I may have overlooked.
One thought on casting, though: Seems the Fremen are going to be a rainbow coalition of white, black, Latin, Arab, etc. Wouldn’t an indigenous desert people all look the same?
