Daily 'Dune': Rebecca Ferguson Says Josh Brolin is a "Real B**ch"

Okay okay, so maybe Rebecca Ferguson said what she did about Josh Brolin with a HUGE laugh, but it's too good not to lead with considering who the two are playing in Dune.

Ferguson, who we kind of fell head over saffron silk in love with during Mission: Impossible- Rogue Nation, is playing a pretty important role in Legendary Pictures' upcoming adaptation of Frank Herbert's seminal sci-fi tome, Dune. She'll be taking on the role of The Lady Jessica in director Denis Villeneuve's adaptation- Jessica is a Bene Gesserit, mother of Paul Atreides, concubine of Duke Leto, and mother of St. Alia of the Knife.

While speaking recently with Total Film Magazine, Ferguson (who was apparently on set at the time) admitted that she often carries around the novel on set, referring to it as "the bible to the film." No word on if it was the Orange Catholic version or not. (That's a book joke, btw.)

This is a snipet from the interview taken from the most recent issue of Total Film, which actually included a not-so-small portion about the upcoming Men In Black: International, that stars Ferguson, Chris HemsworthTessa ThompsonEmma ThompsonLiam Neeson, and The Worm Guys:

When Duke Leto Atreides is assassinated, his son Paul and wife Lady Jessica escape only to be adopted by the Fremen, who becomes Paul's personal army against the Harkonnen as he develops powers from the spice, a substance that extends life and powers interstellar travel. A tangled web of royal intrigue is revealed with the Emperor and other cosmic powers pulling the strings while attempting to erase house Atreides.
