Just as I was ready to leave it alone for good, I note that in F&FS Esther
Friesner has played our game, also with the cast of the late (not terribly)
lamented, for DUNE this time. It's funny enough to pass on:

Paul Atreides: Jerry
Lady Jessica: Elaine
Baron Harkonnen: Newman
Feyd-Rautha: Kramer
Duncan Idaho: George

But wait, there's more! John Kessel casts TBOTNS:

Severian: Leo
Thecla: Helena Bonham-Carter (aren't these people a little s-h-o-r-t?)
Thea: Joanna Going (huh?)
Vodalus: Andre Braugher (ditto?)
Master Gurloes: John Hurt (that's not bad)
Master Palaemon: Morgan Freeman
Dorcas: Gabrielle Anwar (also huh? from me)
Agia: Nicole Kidman
Agilus: Kevin Bacon
Jolenta: Julia Ormond
Dr. Talos: Gary Oldman
Baldanders: Arnold
Hildegrin: Peter Postlethwaite (?)
Hethor: John Malkovich
The Autarch: Kenneth Branagh

This is a whole issue on the movies, and kind of fun (July).
