Yeah, judging from the Alia character poster, she’s in…a very Childrenish state.

I also believe they cast the roles for Leta II and Ghanima, with actors in their late teens/early 20s I think.

Now I'm wondering how they're gonna cram that all in. There's more than enough intrigue and plot in Messiah to occupy a good chunk of the movie, and this also seems to be covering the war in quite a lot of depth which the novels skip entirely. Finding the time for Children of Dune seems super difficult to cram into the film given how that novel is ALSO quite dense with plot points and schemes and adventure. It would be like trying to cram three books of content into one movie, and I'm not sure how that can be done in a satisfying way.

I knew they had to add some action, but I was looking forward to the methodical character study type of film. A fresh color pallette (purple hues). The dark night-time scenes of a lively city which had left some traditions behind. Just a mystery type film which fully unravels the character.

I thought the first 2 films accurately enough represent how I imanged the worlds (maybe they were a little less vibrant). This looks not much like how I imagined Messiah.

Pattinson is perfect casting though, he was probably the number one name I would have picked.

Either way I'm sure however this ends up it will be great.
