The Enigmatic Dr X

This is going to be The Lord of the Rings... IN SPACE!, right?

Or Game of Thrones – like a fish out of water Aquaman dives in as Duncan Idaho.

So far it sounds good.   Interesting casting.

As they say the proof is in the pudding. 
When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.

Old age is the Lord's way of telling us to step aside for something new. Death's in case we didn't take the hint.

What a cast they seem to have assembled some well-known names there. Pretty good for a bonkers Sci-Fi Book and Film about Futuristic Drug Lords. Maybe El Chapo can make a cameo from his cell.

What a terrible choice for a Swordmaster of Ginaz. Duncan is a lithe and wiry fighter, not some ape with a broadsword. This has Brian's fingerprints all over it. Sigh.

As an Exec. Producer representing the Estate I doubt Brian has too much power over casting the star of a recent billion dollar film that sold very, very well in overseas markets. Sounds more like a studio suggestion to help sell a weird sci-fi film to the general public – which is not a bad decision by any stretch.

Don't try and cloud the argument with your reasoning and logic! :)
