Get Guy Pearce for the Emperor. Basically make him Prometheus' Weyland who gets to prolong his life with spice, but was never allowed to make androids. Has access to the most important planet in the universe, but only sends pseudo-religious weirdo scientists to check it out. Keeps having daughters, but really wants the perfect son. Intertextuality off the charts here IMO

Starks posted:I think it’s gonna be someone like Daniel Kaluuya. Popular recent academy award winner that can act their rear end off in a few scenes. And I think he could pull off “old guy that looks young” better than an actual old guy who looks young. I think Villeneuve doesn’t care about making details like hair colour for secondary characters true to the book, that would be a little too restrictive. i am now insanely upset that michael k. williams is no longer with us to absolutely crush this role

What if the Imperial Herald from the start of the movie turned out to be the Emperor? I know it's not in the book or anything but it's the kinda stupid thing Emperors do sometimes, like Undercover Boss but for the Galactic Imperium instead of a Hobby Lobby. Yeah, I realise this is falling into the realm of "goons suggest terrible pointless plot ideas*

Are they just completely using old Harkonnen stuff? Did they just not bring any of their superior air power stuff Poe Dameron talks about at home? The desert isn't kind to equipment, the Atreides' aircraft aren't equipped to function in the desert while the dragonflies are. The Harkonnens were using high-end Nvidia 3090 spice miners but they took those with them and left some Intel HD 4400 chips for the Atreides to play Crysis with

Starks posted:Edit: On second thought, "Spice makes you look 40 years younger" might be a tricky concept to pull off in a film, so I wouldn't be surprised if they mostly ignore it and go for an older actor with some make-up. Just get Michael Fassbender. He's only 44 and has enough Serious Actor credit.

I would assume that the heads of the houses know what the Emperor looks like, although consider the importance of what's going on, I could see the Emperor being the one to issue the decree in person, as a "I know you have the option of running away, I want you to have the balls to say it to my face" kind of power move.

But part of Dune's story is that the Emperor's grasp is slipping because he doesn't pay attention to the people beneath him. What you're suggesting is a lot more like the Autarch in the Book of the New Sun.

It occurred to me while watching this that Vin Diesel totally ripped off the Harkonnens when he made Chronicles of Riddick. Or David Twohy did I guess, but I think we all know Vin had a lot of creative control over that movie.

Oh yea I mean I'm not being critical of Vin, but it's always jarring when you realize that something you've thought was cool for like 20 years turns out to be an imitation of something else that was cool 20 years before you were even born.

The Harkonnens were there for nearly a century, raking in the cash, and the spice machines we see at the start are way fancier looking. I think the they took their ball home and left whatever archaic desert specific equipment was around for the Atreides to struggle with, just to make it even harder for them to succeed.
