LONDON – Michael Fassbender has been linked to the Dune reboot currently planned by Len Wiseman.
The announcement came as a surprise as most of the main roles have already been cast, with Jake Gyllenhaal as Paul Atreides, Ian McKellen playing his father, Jonah Hill as the evil Duke and Johnny Knoxville playing the role sting played with the underpants and the hair.
Fassbender was a bit coy when we spoke about it earlier this week.
‘Well to be honest it’s really a bit part,’ said the Guinness advertisement star. ‘I don’t actually have any lines and you won’t necessarily be seeing the whole of me on screen.’

Really? David Lynch, the Sci-Fi channel’s reinterpretation and now another adaptation? Seriously, is Hollywood so devoid of originality and creativity that a reboot of “Dune” is necessary? Wow.
Fans of the book still do not think there is a decent screen version. Personally I really like Lynch’s version – except the nonsensical end of course.
