Star Trek Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) must have a role in the new Dune movie!!!

Patrick should have been able to reprise the role of Gurney. I will allow that he may be slightly too old to play Gurney... but he is Gurney... When I think of Gurney I see Patrick.
Patrick could be offered Max von Sydow's role from the original Dune picture (Arbiter of the Change/Dune Ecologist), a cameo as one of the Emperor's generals, or perhaps creepier a Guild representative (maybe a little Borg-ed out).
Either way, he needs to be in the movie... and Star Trek fans ARE science-fiction fans that should not be dismissed lightly at the box office!
