Continuing in the trend of the first Dune film from director Denis Villeneuve, the newcomers to the Dune: Part Two ensemble cast have been nothing but heavy-hitters: Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan; rising star Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha (allegedly); and now the Grand Poobah of them all, Christopher Walken as Shaddam IV, head of House Corrino and Padishah Emperor of the Imperium!
It seems fitting.
The news, which comes out of Deadline ahead of the film’s fall start date for principal photography, is in-keeping with a universe already populated with familiar faces after the first movie. In that 2021 picture, Timothée Chalamet led an all-star cast that included Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Jason Momoa, Josh Brolin, and Stellan Skarsgård. Even Gen-z fan favorite Zendaya agreed to only show up for what amounted to an extended 10-minute cameo. Yet the casting of Walken in this role feels like a special get...

Kino Lorber
1961/ 1:85 / 90 min.
Starring Michael Gough, Margo Johns
Directed by John Lemont
Like any actor worth their salt, Michael Gough contained multitudes. And so did his fans – from the West End to 42nd Street they gathered as one to sing his praises. Born in Kuala Lumpur and educated in England, Gough bolted Wye College for the Old Vic, eventually graduating to roles in films like Richard III and The Horse’s Mouth. Haunting the studio by day, he tread the boards at night showing a special talent for light comedy and, in the words of critic Caryl Brahms, an “extraordinary capacity for pent-up emotion.”
In 1959 Gough’s day job took a turn for the weird – producer Herman Cohen offered him the lead in Horrors of the Black Museum, the grisly tale of a crime enthusiast with a fetish for eccentric torture devices. And absolutely no capacity for pent-up emotion.
