In Dune 2000, the player commands one of the three Houses and must fight for control of the spice mlange on the planet Arrakis, or Dune. The cast, a very shuffled deck, has its share of wild cards: Sting, a pre-”Star Trek: The Next Generation” Patrick Stewart, Max von Sydow, Linda Hunt, José Ferrer (as the Emperor, the role Dalí was supposed to play).
