I like rob don't get me wrong. I'm a 25 yr old single mom who still gets giddy at hot guys but I'm major nerd hardcore. When it comes to sci fi I know my stuff. I have read all the book series and watch all dune movies. That's right the 1984 version with Kyle MacLachlan, Sting, and Patrick Stewart; 2000 version with Alec Newman and William Hurt. Oh must I forget the hot James McAvoy in Children of Dune, in which is the title of the third book but tends to link by intertwining with the second book Dune Messiah. Now with reading the books and watching the movies he is not suited to be the characters Paul or Leto II. For one he would seriouly have to get in shape and form some good muscles because the phisique of these men movie and book they are warriors. Two, rob is built for drama and passionate movies, his kissing scene in little ashes still didn't turn me off from him, and granted Dune is a dramatic sci fi. Yet I forsee it being a bad act for him due to the difference in styles between fantasy and sci fi. Fantasy is like edward cullen, Beautiful, and built up to be something completly wonderful it has it's downers but always happy in the end and appeals more to the female population. Sci fi not always a happy ending, always makes you wonder and have endless possiblity of space, lots of battles in space, on earth, different worlds, and always against aliens or the paranormal like demons and ghost. But always a battle or fight. Always has more attractive women then men. Men like the ones with tails (LOL). More aimed towards men and nerdy men or men who want to believe there is life out there. Sorry, raised by a father that turned me into every typical mans good girlfriend who basically is brainwashed. Please let us not subject beautiful rob to be fed to the nerds of sci fi.

I am so excited, having a girl-geek celebration at the idea that Rob could be in Dune. The book was amazing, but the movie with Kyle McLachlan really SUCKED, so don't base anything on that movie. I would be on Dune instead of Hercules, because Rob does not have the build for that. He is fine and lean the way he is! I will see whatever Rob or Kristen do, regardless.

The Dune movie with Sting was one of the most infamous bombs in movie history. Great books – didn't translate well to film. Maybe with the right treatment, but this is risky territory. And Hercules??? Sorry, I find Rob as attractive as the next girl, but he's a bit skinny for a role in that, unless of course he packs on some more muscle. (yes, I know, the hate comments will be forthcoming – but seriously girls, I love Rob – just keeping it real. Rob himself admits he's never been the brawny athlete type)

No, he would probably be great-I just don't like sci-fi

ok now were talking. I loved watching that show. But still not his style. I am little leary about the Hercules character for him.
