Why is she in Dune?

Seriously, how did that happen? It couldn’t have been Villeneuve’s choice, could it? Was the studio punishing him for the financial disappointment of Blade Runner 2049?

I thought she was really bad. Others struggled, but she was like frowning and smirking, like she was in a Nikelodeon production. So hammy.

Zendaya is just so soulless. Like watching a kid addicted to social media suddenly have to step outside and interact with people in the real world. She just doesn’t seem to know how to do it.

She looked great for the part. She had a mysterious and bad-ass air about her. But she opened her mouth and sounded like a little girl. I never read the books so I don't know if that was the intent.

good actress , but miscast

[–] LetoAtreides (583) a year ago

Obviously the studio pushing for "flavor of the month diversity actress" and someone that would make kids want to watch Dune. No way she was the best actress for the role.

Florence Pugh and Anya Taylor-Joy are also flavor of the month casting. "Denis. These 2 have been in every movies made in the least few years, we need them in Dune!"

Anya Taylor Joy has been in big roles for almost a decade. Pug and Zendaya qualify, but not really Anna.

She completely lacks any on-screen charisma. I don't see her career lasting very long.

Why is she in anything? Lousy actress. Unattractive. Physique only pedos would be attracted to.

[–] Information-Police (4896) a year ago

To say she is unattractive discredits anything you have to say.

[–] jk90us (8315) a year ago

No it proves everything I have to say.

[–] DarthAckbar (2318) a year ago

she is a fantastic actress, so maybe that's why?

[–] MoviesStillSuck (560) a year ago

Articulate your point of view.

[–] jk90us (8315) a year ago

In what?

[–] DarthAckbar (2318) a year ago

she won two best actress emmys for euphoria

[–] Heisenberg (6730) a year ago

The whole project reeks of ass kissing tiktokers and cocksuckers.
Hence her choice and chalament, what more influential couple can you dream for with such a target?

Fuck them all in their arse, starting with the "director".

She's horrible. She kept the new Spider-Man movies from being great and she shit all over the Dune legacy too. I like her fine in her dumb perfume commercial. But I have no idea how she keeps being a thing. That's all just because she's such a shitty loathsome actress. That crap aside, she looks like a fugly little boy. I don't get it.
