h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Wait, wait, whose Dune are we casting, Woody's or Gilliam's?

In Gilliam's, Sian Phillips has got to be the Reverend Mother.

Lil

How about George Micheal as someone who dies in a REALLY horrible way ?

that was the idea for de'caprio

how about Rutger Hauer (played leader of replicants in Blade runner) asd fyd-Ruthea?

As this is Arrakis we're talking about, shouldn't we be finding roles for the Spice Girls?

Lil

da dum chi!

Way to go Christian!!

And hey guys congrats to us for making Peta's Picks!

Coffee and Doughnuts all around O O

~Beeblefish

Okay -

Spice=Big Kahuna Burger
Paul Atreides=Samuel L. Jackson (I said Muad'Dib mother#@!# )

Courtesy

OK.
Barron Harkkonen = Ving Rhames (no more Arrakis priveleges)
Lady Jessica = Uma Thurman (and when I say we're going to
win a dance contest...)

Lil

When Paul Atreides is fighting the Fremen in Sietch Tabr to prove that he is the Lisan-al-Gaib then there should be backround music of

*everyone sing*
clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, and here I am, stuck in the middle again

*giggle, snort, giggle*

Courtesy

*slaps Courtesy38 briskly several times*

Compose yourself, man! Casting Dune 2000 is serious business!

*quickly sobers up*
*thinks about everyone in the universe hunting for Big Kahuna Burgers. Thinks about Worms making Big Kahuna Burgers*
*giggle, snort, fall of the chair and roll on the ground laughing*

*brandishes straitjacket*

Courtesy, we still have to cast the Disney Dune.
Please sober up or this thread will deteriorate
into foolishness.

Lil

*sits back down, aside from an occasional giggle, dons the proper face for casting the disney Dune*

BTW - Should we start a new thread for the Book discussion so that we can mosey on our way with the Dune castings and still allow people to talk about books?

Courtesy

Good idea. We are getting very silly.
*looks contrite*
Lay on a new thread, C38. And we'll turn back to
books. I must log off sometime and start reading the
books I got for Christmas.


Lil

Okay so the sillines continues in this discussion (hopefully)

I have just started a new thread for the actual book discussions called

Book Club 7: Young Zaphod Plays it Safe just follow this link:
http://www.h2g2.com/forumframe.cgi?forum=29359&thread=35621

Beeble would you mind adding this to the front page?

Now, let's get back to casting the Dune Movie:
For disney I say that Tinker Bell plays Reverend Mother Gaius Moheim

Courtesy

Well then Julie Andrews will have to be Jessica (The dunes are alive...!)

Wahey! Book discussions. If you are casting for a Terry Gilliam version, it must have Simon Jones in it. (He was the original Arthur Dent if you don't know, and appears in a lot of Gilliam films). Don't know where you would put him though. Probably running around the background looking English.

Hi &c.Munchkin! I don't see why Arthur Dent can't be in Dune. As Arthur Dent. Standing at the back of the Fremen Cave in his plaid bathrobe, wondering why he still can't get the hang of Thursdays.

Lil

Arthur would also try to get the Fremen to switch to Tea instead of the awful Spice coffee they always drink

*giggle, giggle*

Honestly, I'd like to see Giger's interpretation of Dune. There was originally supposed to be one (with Salvador Dali as Baron Harkkonen), but they canceled the funding and then went and made the current one.
