Christopher Walken in Dune

Time to Walken without rhythm

[@murinioeso]

Dune 84 - fight Sting Dune 24 - fight Elvis

[@Morfe02]

Maybe thats why Dennis cast Butler

[@dixonj41]

In the 70s, a director named Alejandro Jodorowsky wanted to adapt Dune. He planned on casting none other than MICK JAGGER as Feyd-Rautha.

[@plasmaarmelund]

Dune 2 has Christopher Walken as Christopher Walken in it.

[@JamesYale1977]

It's the only role he's ever played, and he's made millions good for him, not so much for us....

[@christofferjenzen78]

It's great for us,he is very charismatic and entertaining...and when he makes an effort, he's great. Range isn't everything,sometimes we just want a burger with everything. Walkens philosophy is/was that you never turn down a role cause you never know when you might work again. That statement tells you alot about his output though.​@@JamesYale1977

[@Bergen98]

With all my love for that character - but I always saw Shaddam as more of Charles Dance

[@davepeesthepool]

@@Bergen98 That's interesting. It might be because my view of the emperor is tainted by how much of a weak puppet he came across as in the Brian Herbert prequels, but Charles Dance just comes across entirely too calculating and intrinsically self-assured and powerful for that role.

[@JPLOWMAN2]

I don’t know about the prequels because I haven’t read them, so I don’t know if he really was a puppet dictator, but personally I always saw the Emperor setting up the fall of House Atreides behind the scenes as a political coup. Duke Leto supposedly had ambitions to become Emperor himself, and he was making waves in the Landsraad by calling out House Harkonnen’s rule of Arrakis, both of which potentially threatened the Emperor’s own power. By giving Leto rulership of Arrakis and forcing his house to relocate there, he purposely put the Atreides in a vulnerable position while they were still fortifying their foothold on the planet, giving the Harkonnens an opportunity to launch a sneak attack against them. And with his own elite troops disguised as Harkonnen troops on site to make sure the job was done right, he could eliminate a powerful rival while at the same time maintaining deniability of his own involvement by passing it off as a feud between the houses. Really brilliant plan as long as you can ensure there’s no evidence of his involvement.

[@bjmccann1]

Just in case anyone's curious, the second movie is 2007's Balls of Fury. It's a sports comedy that's a mixture of ping pong and 1973's Enter the Dragon.

The costumes are mismatching, particularly those of the people next to him which are extremely mismatching, and even their race doesn't really seem to fit although that's possibly a bit of a stretch.

I'm telling ya. Walken was never "cast" in Dune per se. The VFX dept found him on the MoCap set encased in a giant green dotted tube sock, so they let him play a sand worm. The Emperor stuff is just stuff they shot more as screen test than anything else but decided to keep it. The controversy will be that most of Walken's sand worm moves are clearly taken from :"Weapon of Choice."
