Recasting the Star System Game

[Tetsuwan Penguin]

I just came up with a new idea for a game we can try.

Awhile ago I started a thread about re-casting Tezuka's characters as actors in the "Wizard of OZ".
I've also been writing some fanfiction stories with Tezuka's star system actors in Star Wars.

So here's the idea. The director (me) will describe a movie or novel being made into a movie, and a list of characters.
YOU will come up with the cast playing these roles from the "Star System". The winner will become the next director.

For our first effort, we will be doing the science fiction story "Dune".
Here are the major characters (as ripped off from wikiipedia)

House Atreides

Paul Atreides, the Duke's son, and main character of the novel.
Duke Leto Atreides, head of House Atreides
Lady Jessica, Bene Gesserit and concubine of the Duke, mother of Paul and Alia
Alia Atreides, Paul's younger sister
Thufir Hawat, Mentat and Master of Assassins to House Atreides
Gurney Halleck, staunchly loyal troubadour warrior of the Atreides
Duncan Idaho, Swordmaster for House Atreides, graduate of the Ginaz School
Wellington Yueh, Suk doctor for the Atreides


House Harkonnen (the bad guys)

Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, head of House Harkonnen
Piter De Vries, twisted Mentat
Feyd-Rautha, nephew and heir-presumptive of the Baron
Glossu "Beast" Rabban, also called Rabban Harkonnen, older nephew of the Baron

Bene Gesserit (the "witches")

Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam, Bene Gesserit schemer, the Emperor's Truthsayer
Lady Margot Fenring, Bene Gesserit wife of Count Fenring

There are alot of characters here, you don't have to cast them all, but each group is listed in order of importance.

April7, you might like this one...I know you are a Dune freak!

So, after we cast the actors in the roles, you decide whose casting was the best?

I saw DUNE years ago, & really cannot recall much about it.

Well that's one idea. OR we can have other's vote on it. I think it would be fun to see what we can come up with.
