The Sietch of Sci-Fi |

The Guild.

I have played roughly 30 hours of Cyberpunk 2077 this week and I feel insane for not having found my way into this franchise sooner. Edgerunners is a fantastic anime and the game is just incredibly addictive. What a fantastic world. Can't get enough of it.

Anya Taylor-Joy IS Alia Atreides. Genuinely could not have imagined a more perfect casting than this one.

First round of Dune rewatches completed ^^

One of the most gut-wrenching moments of the year. Zendaya's performance as Chani in Dune: Part Three's third act will be generational.

An endless lineage of Aurafarmers and genocidal maniacs.

I could have watched an entire season just about Saw Gerrera, his growing paranoia and the fighting within and between all these revolutionary movements.

Actually, I'd say they are already in the correct order from best to worst (that is most and least fitting for the role) here.

It's a small detail, but Alia - whom the Bene Gesserit consider an Abomination - wearing a white Aba hood and gown, an inversion of the Black worn by the Bene Gesserit Reverend Mothers like Mohiam, is another aspect that shows how meticulously these movies are made.

The outstanding production design of Dune: Part Three by Academy Award winning designer Patrice Vermette.

Paul Atreides and Edric, the Guild Navigator. One of my favourite scenes in Dune: Messiah. The architecture of this chamber, which we have seen in a couple of shots already, is incredible.

The Dune Trilogy has, in my eyes, costumes that not only rival those seen in Lord of the Rings, but actually surpass them. Utter insanity Dune: Part Two was not even nominated for an Academy Award. Jacqueline West is one of the most incredible artists in the entire industry.

I completely understand that Messiah is his final venture into the sands of Arrakis, but I would sell my soul to get Denis Villeneuve to do Children & God Emperor of Dune.

"When is a gift not a gift?"

Princess Irulan Corrino, eldest daughter of the 81st Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV, wife in title only, to Emperor Paul Muad'dib Atreides.

The Fremen see her as the Earth Figure, a demigoddess whose special charge is to protect the tribes through her powers of violence. She is Reverend Mother to their Reverend Mothers. To pilgrims who seek her out with demands that she restore virility or make the barren fruitful, she is a form of antimentat. She feeds on that proof that the "analytic" has limits. She represents ultimate tension. She is the virgin-harlot - witty, vulgar, cruel, as destructive in her whims as a coriolis storm. -St. Alia of the Knife as taken from The Irulan Report

You'll hear from me in 5 business days.

At this point, with what she is saying here, I am 99% sure Alia's storyline in this movie will contain Children of Dune's possession plot. One of the most intriguing & tragic stories of the novel trilogy. Can't wait to hear and maybe see Stellan Skarsgård as the Baron again.

My favourite character from the novels has a good chance of becoming my favourite character in this trilogy. Anya Taylor-Joy will kill it.
