Well, the first cast member that became attached to the project was William Hurt who is playing
Duke Leto.
And I think that what he brings is brilliant acting, I mean he's a star, but he's a star
who has a long lineage of fine acting in his career.
Why aren't they coming out?
They are hoping that the carryall will show up at the last minute.
Sandmaster, this is a command from your Duke, seize operations and evacuate the station
immediately or I will cut your ship in two with a lasgun.
As far as Duke Leto is concerned, he comes from a princely tradition, a monarchial, sort of,
post-feudal traditions that we are aware off.
He's inbetween things, he's inbetween Paul's youth and Paul's future.
He's in a situation where the worlds have agreed that powers are to remain in the hands
of humans, even while there are other presences interactive, among the societies
that are deviant from our normal idea of human.
And they capacities that are beyond normal human capacities, mentation, some degrees
of clairvoyance,
the Spacing Guild has science that nobody else has,
and yet the universe, the galaxies of societies still agree that these types of beings are
not to be more in charge than human type.
