Uhhh. I really have to disagree with your comparison of LOTR and the new Dune. I think we forget what a huge gamble LOTR was because it turned out to be wildly successful.

Besides Ian Mckellan, the LOTR cast were basically nobodies. LOTR had Magneto but then it had an old Dracula, the kid from the Goonies, and Mr Smith in a bit part. Dune is packed with the leads from such small films as Stars Wars, Spiderman, Guardians of the Galaxy, Aquaman, Avengers, etc. Reading the cast list of Dune is reading a who's who's of Hollywood A-listers.

And Villeneuve is not just a bigger ticket name than Jackson. Jackson was a nobody. He was best known for some c-list horror films and an adult themed muppet knock off.

The only gamble they have in common is that, while both IPs are extremely well known, that is not always a guarantee of a hit with audiences.

I do agree with you on Wheel of Time. It's clearly aiming to be Game of Thrones and is willing to burn dumpster trucks of money to try.

DA

I’m not disagreeing with you, but Cate Blanchett was already a big name before she was cast in LOTR, so it wasn’t just Ian McKellan. And even though Liv Tyler wasn’t a big name in the acting world yet, she was still the daughter of a famous rockstar.
