    I agree with you whole heartedly about Mads being the perfect choice for the emperor. He's one of those actors that can pull of the powerful, regal look while at the same time maintaining the age/vigor combination that the emperor is supposed to maintain.

    Mads Mikkelsen would be a great choice in terms of acting… in terms of appearance is questionable. Thanks to the Dune: Imperium board game, we have a glimpse at what the Emperor is to look like. And it’s insanely accurate to the book; looking as if he were 35, but is as frail as an elder, complete with a long red beard. If Mikkelsen were to grow that long of a beard and possibly have the makeup department dye it, he would be perfect.

    • @christianealshut1123
      @christianealshut1123 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      You're just describing Domnhall Gleeson as a perfect casting choice (he's a natural redhead and they would not have to dye his beard...). But honestly, I don't see it happening that they will cast a younger actor, because he would be difficult to sell as somebody who has grown-up children, which would be difficult with a 30ish actor. Not everybody who will see the movie has read the book and can make the connection - that Shaddam is in his 70s but looks like a man in his 30s. So a youngish Shaddam might be a bit onconvincing.
      They'd probably go for someone somwhere in between 50 and 70 with an auithoritative and villainous air. Coming to think of it, Michael Wincott might be a great choice also. Villeneuve's movies all have an offbeat air about them and his personality projects a sufficient amount of edginess as well.

      This is one of the many reasons I don't care about fidelity to the novels when it comes to mostly irrelevant appearance details. One of the main antagonists being a super-frail 35-year-old with a long red beard? No thanks. Apart from important details like Fremen/etc. having the Eyes of Ibad or Vlad being a big ol' boy, I hope Denis uses a pretty free hand for casting/appearances going forward with the second film. E.g. Pieter De Vries looking like a cenobite in the first film.

While this is important to his back story as a victim of Harkonnen cruelty, I can understand dropping his backstory given the need to keep the plot moving at a brisk pace.

    I think there are a lot of tragedies within Dune where people make personal choices that they think are for the best but really lead them to destruction.
    The Emperor should have married Duke Leto to Irulan and left it at that. Leto did have a certain amount of ambition but I got the impression that he was also very honorable and had a great deal of integrity. I don’t think he ever would have deposed the Emperor if he’d been his father-in-law. I think the Emperor’s fatal flaw was that he couldn’t see people as they really were. He could only view them through the lens of what he would do in a given situation. That’s why it was impossible for him to see that Leto never would have moved against him.

    • @keithklassen5320
      @keithklassen5320 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      An Empire of 10.000yrs doesn't trust the integrity of an individual leader. Leto was eventually going to die, and his successor would rule and die, and his successor after him, without guarantee of that same integrity, but still inheriting the power consolidated by Leto.
      It could even be argued that, in the context of this society that relies on a balance of power, Leto consolidating that power was an act of aggression against the future.

Lady Jessica was Leto's concubine, not wife, so therefore, he would have still been available to be married to Irulan. History is full of marriages with concubines/mistresses/lovers on the side. Even at the end of David Lynch's Dune, Paul declares that he will take Irulan as his wife but that he will not love her, his heart belonging to Chani instead.

    • @daniels7907

      What I don't get is why the Emperor didn't have his eye on Paul for Irulan. Because all interstellar travel in the Known Universe is controlled by the Spacing Guild, it would not be that hard to keep Paul out of touch with Leto if Paul were required to remain on Kaitain, or else given duties that required him to travel the Imperium and left him little time to see his parents. That would have given him a chance to get on Paul's good side and cultivate his loyalty. Although Shaddam IV did not know about the Kwisatz Haderach, Paul would have never fully-realized his powers had he not been sent to live on Spice-saturated Arrakis.

    Arg you got me with the thumbnail, I thought it was an actual casting! Though yes I would also agree that Mads Mikkelsen would make a perfect Emperor. It would be nice to get a glimpse of him at the end of the first movie, as well as the Irulan. My vote for her would have to be Elizabeth Debicki. Seeing how she has progressed as an actor in her roles is just amazing, and I can imagine she would look and play the role of galactic royalty quite well. Also there are few women who I think could stand up to Paul when he is at his most powerful the way an actor like Dekicki would. Though I can also really see her playing one of the more prominent Bene Geseret like Odrade or Lucilla, if the series does well and goes that far, so I'm a bit torn there!

    The Emperor has always been a somewhat odd issue for me, in Dune; he seems to be scared of Duke Leto Atreides, whom he otherwise would like, but we never see anything that hints Leto is actually planning to endanger the Padasah Emperor's position. Even if his scheme had totally succeeded, and the Atreides been wiped out to the man, and even if that didn't open the way for Baron Harkonnen to take a shot at him, it doesn't seem to help Shaddam IV. He still has no male heir; he might have been better off pairing his daughter with Leto, or Paul, than other prospects, and it seems weird he'd try so hard to wipe a loyal line that hasn't wronged him when this act doesn't help his other long-term goals. I'm not even sure that there is a system in place where by someone like Leto could take a shot at his throne, within his own lifetime, since prior to gaining control of Arrakis, Atreides would lack the resources to pay the Guild to move their soldiers, and Shaddam could just pay them more not to. The Baron's motivation has always made sense to me, and that even without his sociopathy, but the Emperor always felt like he was moving against a perceived threat that wasn't really a threat, and in a way that didn't really seem to improve his long-term position. If Harkonnen were forcing him, or Atreides actually appeared to want the Golden Lion Throne; even if we just saw other members of the Laansrad bucking against the Emperor's tactics, and looking to raise Leto to the throne for their own benefits, it might have made sense, but here, I see none of that, and the day after the fall of House Atreides, the Emperor's position isn't really any better than the day before.

      The Bene Gesserit already had their plan in that Irulan was to marry one of the Harkonens. Jessica screwed the plan up by bearing Leto a son. They threw their lot in with getting rid of Paul and Jessica and reset the genetic breeding board by hoping that Irulan would marry one of the Baron's nephews. The bloodline would still be intact as the Reverend mother was Jessica's mother and the Barron was her father. So two of the three pieces were in place.

      The Emperor wanted Atreides knocked down a peg or two, specifically Leto, not necessarily excised from all existence as the Baron wishes, however his posturings vanish into irrelevance once the Guild make it clear that Leto and his offspring must die no matter what and above all else as they begin to glimpse the Witches maneuverings so in a choice between no Guild assistance and thus instant death or continued Guild assistance it is a no brainer is it not.
      So whatever wreckage is wrought in the Noble houses is nothing to even the hint of a moment of existence without Guild approval, as they say context is for kings or Padishah Emperors as the case maybe.

    • @tmakalpha1

      It always felt more like Shaddam projected his insecurities onto Leto, and therefore saw him as a threat to his rule because that is what *he* would do if their positions were swapped. After all, Leto has a son, while Shaddam was doomed to have no male heir (through Bene Gesserit design), only daughters. Historically, noble houses tend to champion popular leaders with male issue to lead. Can't forget that Leto is also Shaddam's cousin, and could be a possible challenger to the throne.

    Always enjoy your take on this project. I can tell that you (unlike some others) have actually read the books (maybe even more than once). I think your insights are spot on, and while I don't always agree with them, they are based on the original material (the books), not on 1984 movie or the 2000 mini series. I've view some of the other material being offered about the upcoming adaptation, and wonder if those offering this content have ever read the books. Do you have any idea where this first part will end according to the original story? The emperor makes several appearances in the book before Leto's death and Paul and Jessica are "sent" into the desert. Just wondering. God bless, stay well. Also I think Helen Mirren would be a great choice as the reverend mother GHM!

    • @christianealshut1123
      @christianealshut1123 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      From the material that we have seen in the trailers so far, it's reasonable to assume that tghe first movie will arrive at least at the point where Paul and Jessica are with the Fremen. It will also have to be at a point which provides sufficient closure for the first part, so it may either be at the point where he acquires his name Muad'Dib or up to the point where he passes the test of riding the worm abnd becomes an adult according to the understanding of the Fremen. Then the secondf part could start with the Fremen, under Atreides guidance, fighting back the Harkonnens, and then up to the end of the first book.

      I think a great actress to play her would be either Margot Robbie or that French actress who played Fleur in the Harry Potter movies, Clemence Poesy.

And Clemence Poesy has kind of a cute but weird little face. Maggie Grace is a bit old at 36, but I think she'd still make an excellent Irulan.

And she 's one of a few young talents out of the Harry Potter movies (next to Emma Watson and Domnhall Gleason) who actually made it and really have talent.
      And I have a movie on DVD where Robbie and Ronan actually face it off as two queens - Mary Queen of Scots (Ronan) and Elizabeth I (Robbie). They are both formidable in it, but for Irulan I think Robbie would be the better actress.

    One of LeChriffe's very, very, very distant descendants may become the Padishah Emperor Shadam IV? Personal Diety, that's an amazing (and if you don't know who LeChriffe is then you should be ashamed of yourself) idea!

    I think Eric Avari would be a good match. "Never forget. Who is the boss of Yu? Me. I AM THE BOSS OF YU."

    great video, i just wondered where you got the idea that Count Fenring was a Mentat, it was not mentioned in the books or prequal books

    I always liked the idea from Dune 1984 that the Emperor was 200+ years old; it Showed the effects of the Spice rather than Explained/Told about the Spice. (as you can't rule an empire as a Family for 10,000 years and only have 81 Emperors without a majority of those emperors being "unnaturally" long lived) I know it wasn't true to the book, and while I don't like a lot of what was done (the rain at the end in particular), this was one of the changes I really did like.

    Mads Mikkelsen should be the ONLY ONE to play the emperor
