Jason Momoa as Duncan Idaho
Josh Brolin as Gurney Halleck

Holy crap. Momoa as Idaho is really an interesting choice, Duncan is the swordmaster for House Atreides, basically one of the top fighting men in the house. He should have an epic scene fighting the Sardaukar. This is one of my favorite characters in scifi. I hope Momoa tones it down for this role.

Josh Brolin as Gurney Halleck, a wizened battle hardened advisor to the Duke and part of Paul's training, this is amazing casting. His role in Sicario lines up nicely to this.

Can't wait to see who is next - Irulan? Feyd? Fenring? Yueh? Thufir? Shaddam? What ill the guild look like?

This movie has an amazing cast.

The story is still a bit awkward for a traditional movie though.

Is anyone NOT in this...

I always saw Duncan as an older veteran badass

Momoa seems kind of young for my mind's eye.

I think I'm actually confusing Duncan and Gurney.
