Dream Casting is an imaginative look at the casting process of potential Hollywood projects based on comics and other media. This isn't just about what is being made; this is about what should be made, and who we think should be the stars.

Denis Villeneuve, the director behind Blade Runner 2049, is working on his own adaptation of Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi novel Dune, which he recently said will take at least two years to make and consist of two or more movies. Nobody's been cast in it yet, however, which leaves the door wide open for me to do my thing and decide who I think the stars should be.

Although Villeneuve has said that his adaptation will bear no resemblance to David Lynch's 1984 Dune film, I couldn't resist taking inspiration from some of Lynch's better choices. However, I also went back to descriptions from the original novel in an attempt to get a fresh perspective on these characters.
