I didn't know it be that much of a
success
but I knew it would be the kinda book
that I wanted to write and that a lot of
people would like to read.
It popped in my head one day
just like a headline
"Dune" and I had it
that was it.
I was kinda shock for a minute I mean to
be considered
and then I just got ready for it, it wasn't,
you know, it was another audition actually
but it was an audition for
something that was very special.
When I finished screen testing and there was a lot of positive things
I felt like I had a shot maybe.
So we went around United States three
times and we came back with nothing
and we found this young man by accident
first time I saw him in front of a camera
I knew we had Paul
Dune is going to be into an interpreter
all interpreters will be different
this is my interpretation.
I think that that feeling of Dune is
definitely there
and there'll be a lot of, you know,
Dune power in this film.
When I first heard about Sting I said
no way
do I want a rockstar, you know, to be in
the picture
and then I saw Brimstone and Treacle
and I saw Sting but I saw Sting
playing a character and it was fantastic
his natural he's not afraid and he has
this
charisma and this intensity he's, you
know, he's gangbusters.
I've built on my success
as a musician to allow me to be
confident enough to step onto
a film stage and do my thing
it was never my ambition to be an actor
I don't know how I did it
but it all happen by accident
but I never ever
thought about being an actor.
I want them to feel that they have been
to Dune
