Who would you cast to play Paul?
What current working actor would you cast for the nearly impossible role of Paul if you were casting a new dune film today?

Taylor Lautner. A good actor and nice looking to boot.
What fear is there in the night?

Paul of Dune was so bad it gave me a seizure that dislocated both of my shoulders and prolapsed my anus.

Re: Who would you cast to play Paul?
Earlier I was thinking it would be ideal if you could find brothers, 15 and 18... or one and take three years filming in the desert.
Actually, you'd need someone more like 12, since he looked younger than he was.

That would require some very complicated re-writes for his riding the sandworm scene... ... seeing as the sandworm would ride him.Freakzilla wrote:Chuck Norris
Anyways, I don't know actors names, but I'd vote for an unknown anyways, someone about 16 or 17 that can look older or younger easily by shaving less or more and makeup.

I don't imagine that he did, but a little stubble would help the age change.Freakzilla wrote:That made me think...

I dunno about Paul, but maybe Michael Ian Black as Duncan Idaho, David Wain as Thufir Hawat, and Michael Showalter as Gurney Halleck.

Re: Who would you cast to play Paul?
They'd be best to go with a talented unknown for Paul. Someone they could groom for the role rather than choosing an established talent. An unknown would make the character much more believable and the audience would be more accepting of him if they didn't have any preconceived public image of the actor.
That said, Ryan Gosling is a phenomenal actor that's older but might still be able to pull off the role.
Emile Hirsch would be a good choice. He can act and he's a runt.

Re: Who would you cast to play Paul?
Unknown is the only way forward.
Thomas Sangster - Last Legion and a Doctor Who ep (and he was going to be Tintin but isn't now) is the only 'known' name that comes to mind.... but he looks a bit wierd: I reckon he'd make a good Feyd rather than Paul.
