Just Stilgar or the other announcements too?

Just stilgar, I find Havier a mess at best.
The bond rubbish, the counsellor, all that dross he's done. prefer someone else, frankly the guy from the miniseries was a good stilgar.
I can see where you're coming from actually, i'm imagining an overtly in your face camp Stilgar now.
Who played him in the mini series? I seem to remember it was Dalton era Felix Leiter in the Lynch movie.
Bardam could work.
Couldn't keep watching the miniseries, the cardboard sets were far too obvious, looked like a school play at times.
Can't wait to see a modern Dune with a decent budget...although Lynch's was pretty good for the era on the VFX front.
I hope they can retain some of the Giger darkness...although Villeneuve is probably going to go with his trademark mono-colour saturation, which I quite like as well.

A few years ago i'd have been all over this but right now with his saturated exposure, not so sure. Still a cracking actor with the right roles.

Not so keen on Jason Momoa signing up to play Duncan Idaho. Some sites are reporting it as a done deal, others suggesting it's still at the negotiation stage.

Strangely it feels like he's been in a lot more recently. I guess as he was in two big ticket movies last year it skews perspective a little. Plus I watched Sicario 1 & 2 a few times in the last 12 months as well.
Not really seen Momoa in enough really to judge whether he would be a bad choice for this film in any role.
Can he act at all?
What I have seen him in, I'm not entirely convinced he can.

Never saw Gurney as a big muscly dude. And a fair bit older looking than Momoa.
I hated the Lynch movie for the mess they made of the "magic". The SFTV series was good and had the benefit of being able to take its time. I have never seen how Dune can be a 2-3 hour movie. It's too complex.
GoT has spawned a mass of new fantasy-type TV and film. I'm betting 90% of it will be crap.

I believe DV already has a 2 movie deal agreed for this, regardless of box office performance. I'd imagine the end point of the first movie will be Paul meeting the Fremen in the desert post Harkonnen attack.

I
I always saw Gurney as a stocky solid batter the walls down chap. Whereas i saw Idaho as a sleeker faster but very strong character.
It was said by Idaho that Hallek could beat him in a knife fight 6 times out of 10.
I think they both were at the top of their warrior nature, swordmaster and warmaster.
Shield fighting with knives.
It should prove very interesting, and I hope they imagine things somewhat better than superspeed camera for 'the weirding way'
-edit I like the look of all the case bar Bardem who i don't rate at all, but perhaps in this case he can make a good Stilgar. I actually quite liked the Stilgar from the miniseries, and hope Bardem channel that role to stop himself being utter *****.

something like the "slow-mo" in Dredd where the normal fighter slows down but the "weird" fighter stays normal speed?

Perhaps, as long as it doesn't look like that Riddick thing.
Be interesting to see how Villeneuve does it.

That was something that was added in the movie, and was never in the book, so they may not have it at all.
