    I keep hoping for a production problem with Dune…such that he ends up making Bond first

    Would there be any benefit to letting TC age a bit more for the role in Messiah? Or is the timeline pretty fast-moving? I haven't read the books. Hoping there's silver lining to a Dune delay, and agree, would prefer Bond first.

    I couldn’t tell you, I’m not a Dune guy. I’m eager for Villeneuve to get out of the sci-fi sandbox and get back to his thriller roots.

    In the books, Paul Atreides is about 15 at the beginning of Dune and around 17 or 18 by the end. In Dune Messiah, he's roughly 27, as the story takes place 12 years later. Since Timothée Chalamet is already 30, he’s close enough in age that they won’t need to age him up too drastically. They might use some subtle makeup or styling to make him look a bit older than he did in the first two films, but Paul is still relatively young in Messiah, so it probably won’t be a major concern.

    As for Bond, we’ll get it when we get it. I’m a fan of Villeneuve’s Dune films and excited for both projects, there’s no need to rush one just to fast-track the other, though patience has never exactly been this site’s strong suit.

    If Villeneuve can convince deakins to comeback it would be a huge win.

    I think there's a sick side to many of us (even Dune fans) who hope that to happen. Perhaps he could pull a Bryan Signer who left X-Men 3 for Superman Returns (even if that was a mixed bag for both).
