EMILY WATSON TO LEAD
DUNE: SISTERHOOD TV SERIES
Just when we thought this project was dead as dodo, Variety reports that Emily Watson has been cast in DUNE: SISTERHOOD series at HBO Max, which, based on Frank Herbert novels, will follow the Bene Gesserit, a mysterious order of women. Watson will play Valya Harkonnen, while
Shirley Henderson will be Tula Harkonnen, two sisters who have risen to power in the Sisterhood, a secret organization of women who will go on to become the Bene Gesserit. Sadly, Denis Villeneuve, who atrociously helmed the lifeless and dull borefest of the recent Dune movie is executive producing this one too.

Oh, something on Netflix for me to check out. You know I never watched Frasier.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice but probably not your cup of tea.
DeleteFrasier was quite the popular show, but I never did watch any of it. Since it has a whole new cast, I am sure I could watch this reboot and still understand what's going on, I would think.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. I watched a couple of seasons intermittently, it was never my fave sitcom, but similar to Mad About You it was watchable and had its moments. It was back in the days when they made sitcoms for intellectual audience not just for daft idiots and these modern morons who only like sick and stupid. If it appeared today it would flop as soon as the first episode would end.
DeleteMad About You was another one that I never watched either. Will and Grace, Raymond, Two and a Half Men... I didn't watch much back then, working 3 jobs and raising kids. I think I missed out on intellectual viewing and what a shame, because so much of what's out there today is pure crap.
DeleteI hated both Raymond and Two and a Half and also How I met Your Mother. And despised Married With Children.
DeleteThen I guess I didn't miss much!
DeleteNope.
DeleteI like Kelsey Grammer in TV series Boss...not really a fan of Fraiser, but I do LOVE Cheers.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that I do not remember him much from Cheers, although I do know he was in it. It is fun when they take a character from one sitcom and move it onto another, like with Phoebe and her sister Ursula who moved from Mad About You to Friends.
