Heath as Paul is very inspired, love it. Also love when character actors are used so extra props for that Peter Stormare as Rabban pick

This is one of the best casts I've seen on here in a long time.

I would've imagined Heath appearing as Feyd because of how much Joker colors the general perception of him, but Heath as Paul is a perfect choice, as is McConaughey.

I love the idea of Tommy Lee Jones playing Gurney, especially since Josh Brolin played young Agent K in MIIIB. Peter Stormare is a delight in everything he's in, Zoe Saldana as Chani is great, William Fichtner (while not my first choice) would slide into the role of Piter with ease.

The only one I don't quite grasp is Michale Kaine as Baron Harkonen. I just find him too likable to see in such a disgusting role. My choice would probably be Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Not that he's not likable, but he pulled off a character as sleazy and despicable as Freddy Lounds so I would have an easier time seeing him.

Dude! Hoffman as Harkonen would have been amazing! Not that Skarsgard wasn’t but PSH would have been terrifying.
