Robert Pattinson to Star in New Dune Movie?

Posted 05.12.09 by reelz

Robert Pattinson has sparked more rumors about his upcoming movie roles, after he was spotted leaving director Peter Berg's Beverly Hills pad.

Berg, who directed 2008's hit Hancock, is set to helm the 2010 update of Frank Herbert's Dune. A cast list is yet to be announced, but the inclusion of Hollywood's hottest heartthrob would be sure to put the movie on the money-making map.

What do you think, Twilighters? Would this be a good move for Pattinson? There's no doubt he can draw an audience, though we're not sure Dune would be the right role to please fans. Still, as long as there was a slew of new pictures of the messy-haired actor, we're sure complaints would be the last thing on everyone's mind.

Pattinson as Feyd I could see. But not as Muad'dib.
Never.
I'm a young fan, but despite all of the girls around me frolicking to see twilight and Beiber concerts, I found myself reading Dune.
Do not taint it with that guy with the emotional depth of a pinapple.

NO FREAKING WAY.

If Pattison is given twenty years to be like Muad'Dib, he still wouldn't be able to capture his depth. I think that people who think he is suited for the role hasn't even READ Dune.
Cause if you have, you won't be able to picture Robert Pattinson as Paul, and moreso as Muad'Dib.

Useing Rob is a brilliant move, yes, but to be Muad'Dib he'd have to suck it up and be someone different in the movie. From the first book, he'd have to be perfect and not have just moments of acting in twilight. Maybe with acting lessons and the right long term director he could-might-maybe pull it of.

Dune is my favorite book of all time, I can see casting this guy as Feyd-Rautha because he's someone you're supposed to hate, but not Paul! I really don't think Pattinson could pull off Muad-Dib. I agree I'd rather see Daniel Radcliffe playing Paul. Hopefully since the project has a new vision/director/script this horrible idea has been forgotten.

Rob as Muad'dib
Pandorina | 05.10.10 09:30:30 PM
No... please No. He has the emotional depth of a pineapple. He's just not belivable in a roll as heavy as this. I would see Zach Quinto. Hell I would rather see Daniel Radcliffe. I am also a bit pissed someone is redoing this again for the 3rd time. Pick something new already.

Robert Pattinson as Moad'dib?
TruesMidori (thegreatwashu@yahoo.com) | 05.10.10 01:31:32 PM
This bothers me. Taking on such a role isnt something done lightly. Sure Robert Pattinson is a handsome face, and has a huge fan base. Its a wise move if you're looking at making quick money at the box office, because girls will flock to see it. However, Im terrified he will ruin the experience, Alec Newman played the best Paul Atreides Ive ever seen, I do not have such confidance in Robert Pattinson. I havent seen him act in a role that even touches on the Deapth of Moad'dib. Im not saying he hasnt acted well in the roles that he has played. Im simply saying I havent seen him act in different Characters. So far all of his characters have had a simular premise base. I would rather see Zachary Quinto as Paul Atreides, He has shown his ability to play complex characters, many times.

I'm a fan of Pattinson's and loved him in How To Be. I detest Twilight though and I cant wait for him to find more projects worthy of his talent. Its about time he got to work with good directors. He hasnt really had an exceptional one since Mike Newell. Berg's an interesting director and I like the idea of him working with Pattinson. Again I'm not a fan of Dune so I hope they dont treat it too reverentially. I'd go see it to watch Pattinson so cant say fairer than that.
