As I understand it, Sting will be playing the villanous Feyd-Rautha
Harkonnen. I haven't heard about any of the other cast members as
yet, and have no idea who should play what parts. Except for the
Baron -- perhaps Orson Welles ("We will sell no spice before its time")?
Just kidding...
I've only heard one other thing, and that is enough to send shivers down
my spine (as I consider "Dune" an excellent sf novel)...maybe someone out
there can confirm it. Is it true that the movie is being produced by
(gasp!) Dino DeLaurentis? If so, break it to me gently -- I have high hopes
for this film.
A servant of the Imperium,

According to a report in Locus, the Dune movie will Not star Sting, but a young unknown. While the movie will be produced by damnXXX di Laurentis, the director will be David Lynch, who did `Eraserhead' and `Elephant Man' (which means that `Dune' would be his first color film). There's some hope. Stay tuned.

I thought that the man with the monkey was in the White House. B.J.
