You're the daughter of the most powerful man in the universe

...and you look like that?! https://www.denofgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/dune-2-trailer-breakdown-princess-irulan-florence-pugh.jpg

What the hell?! Why couldn't they cast a pretty girl with a better costume for the role?! Irulan looked way prettier in the '84 film and the 2000 miniseries, and was better dressed.

I'm actually getting sick and tired of seeing Florence Pugh in everything. She's not that pretty, and she can actually be irritating to listen to.

I honestly don't know anything about her other than people saying she's not attractive and the picture of her crying in the wider man movie cover.

[–] AmeriGirl26 (15100) a year ago

I don't doubt she's a good actress and has friends in the 'biz who can call in favors to get her roles, but to try and sell her as "beautiful and sexy" is really stretching it. It reminds me of how they tried that with Sarah Jessica Parker and Ashley Tisdale, when they aren't actually very pretty at all.

Days like this make me glad I left the dating pool 23 years ago.

She's looks fine. But she's pretty much a fetus to an old guy like me.

[–] AmeriGirl26 (15100) a year ago

She has short hair, thick, dark eyebrows that betray her dye job, she wears almost no makeup, her outfit looks like boring pajamas, and the headdress looks cheap and thrown on.

Princess Irulan was a beautiful blond in spectacular gowns in the '84 film; and in the 2000 miniseries, she was a beautiful brunette with very elaborate costumes, probably some of the most elaborate ones in the entire cast.

This version of her looks more like a boring extra that should have been left in the background of the princess's chambers, working on bed linens.

WHY ARE YOU SO ANGRY AT WOMEN,BRO?

hmm... you should check out the new juliet then

Powerful does not mean attractive. King Charles is married to one of the least attractive woman in England. He had a choice.

The Emperor can choose his concubines, but unless they are dabbling in modifications to the fetus like they did in Gattica, then you get what you get.

The actress shown in the above link is attractive. I'm sure there are occasions when dressing down is appropriate?

We're not allowed to want to see conventionally pretty girls anymore! Those of us who do are evil and must be urgently 're-educated'!

Appreciating beauty is bigotry.

I am hanging my head in evil, male shame.

I agree the Princess was fugly but Chani is drop dead gorgeous. Considering even though Paul will marry the Princess he will refuse to ever have sex with her not even once, because he is in love with his concubine Chani. I don't blame him he can literally see the future he can fuck any girl in the universe might as well pick one that you have chemistry with and is hot.

she looks manly. irulan in the books is a pretty delicate princess

[–] MartyMoose1977 (225) 2 months ago

The Princess is a Wisconsin 7. If the movie sticks with the book he will marry the Princess but refuse to ever have sex with her since he loves his concubine Chani who is in fact smokin hot.

[–] Toomer (187) 2 months ago

Chani in this movie is "smokin hot"? No. Not even close. What were you smokin when you watched this movie?

[–] MartyMoose1977 (225) 2 months ago

She's only what I would call cute looking in this movie. It's the actresses' other photo's that make me call her smoking hot.

[–] pjl69 (2647) a year ago

Yeah, Virginia Madsen was a goddes in Dune '84. I could have just watch her narrating the whole story in a close-up.

[–] TerraFirma69 (2352) a year ago

Yep, crazy beautiful

[–] agentalbert (3388) a year ago

Florence Pugh is a plenty attractive woman, but that's a pretty dull look for "Princess Irulan". Maybe its her in her private room, dressed down or something.

If you want to see why I'm annoyed, you need look no further than these photos:

Princess Irulan in the 1984 Dune film:

Princess Irulan in the 2000 miniseries:

The 1984 version was mostly accurate because Irulan was described in the Dune Encyclopedia as being blond with green eyes. So they are partially accurate with the new version. The 2000 one was not accurate when it came to hair color, but they did use an added subplot about her to develop her character more as an intelligent, but mostly overlooked person in the grand scheme of things. Her position as the emperor's oldest daughter, who wasn't directly involved in politics, gave her the ability to witness a lot of what was going on as well as being an extensive chronicler. The 2000 version was also better at revealing just how rich and lavish the Corrino family's lifestyle was, as well as their wardrobe.

Why do people get so hung up on casting actors that look identical to their descriptions in the book? "The book said she had eyes shaded green pigment #479128, and had exactly 948 hairs on her left arm...Florence Pugh only has 891 hairs on her left arm!!!!" Like shut the fuck up. It is such an acoustic thing to get hung up about. Reeks of dino nuggies and soiled adult diapers.

>Why do people get so hung up on casting actors that look identical to their descriptions in the book?

Because thats what the characters are supposed to be. How a character looks is important to that character. Especially when a large part of the plot is political intrigue.

[–] e3e34ifj (1912) 6 months ago

I'd argue the exact, down-to-every-pore identical resemblance of the actors to the character they're playing isn't meant to be taken literally. I agree they should be fairly similar, but getting hung up on the slightest of differences is flat-out stupid. Does it change the movie at ALL if the book character has green eyes but the actor has blue eyes? Does that affect the plot or the story? No, it does not. Characters are supposed to be interesting.

florence pugh is disgusting
