Absolute shit show, just like BR2049. Hope he gets AIDS and dies, just like him killing BR. DV is a communist and a terrorist, and should not be allowed to make anything. Fuck him, fuck the studio that allowed him to make it, and fuck Ford for even showing up in it. He should have let them CGI'ed his involvement so he could denounce then. Ford should stick to crashing planes, not good movies that he was in 30 years ago-Crystal Skulls? Jesus Fucking tap dancing Christ, just with that someone should have shot him in the Calista Flockhart pussy to put both of them out of our misery.

I will totally watch a good remake of Dune.........there is just one problem. SJW will fuck the hell out of it for the "Christian white male". All they will get out of it is Muslims rising up and overthrowing the Christians. They will pay no mind to the novel that used those terms and concepts to outline the religious nature of the Freemen and the Empire to where the reader could understand it and Herbert didn't have to create new bodies for ideas everyone understood.
And yes bonus points if Sting is in it! Best Feyd ever! |

Wish my Dad had lived 1 more year to see it.
He didn’t go to movies much but he would go to select ones that he was interested in. He was into sci fi books, golf, scuba diving and German craftsmanship; cars, tanks, etc. |

I named my dog after a character in the series. Yeah, I’m anxious to see a great film.

I have one concern though. Dune would require a massive budget to do it justice. Because it would need to be at least 6 hours long. You could divide that into a trilogy or miniseries. But the money spent on set design and graphics would be huge. And I don't know if Dune appeals to large enough audience that you could get the money from the studio and investors necessary to make it a good one.
Villeneuve is one of the best current directors in the world. But you cannot do Dune on the cheap. And are studios going to spend 300 million when they will be lucky to break even in the US? |

Thing about Dune is that it’s very cerebral- a lot of the story is not told through dialog or visuals. I’m not sure a decent screenplay could be put together that isn’t either annoyingly wordy or cut to shreds.
It’s hard for me to judge DV’s directorial skills. The weakness of the blade runner sequel wasn’t necessarily the direction as much as the mediocre writing and poor characters. Certainly the special effects and photography were brilliant. Honestly, I’d hate to see an epic story like Dune treated this way... turned into a poorly written emo piece wrapped in brilliant effects... but if it does, the one ultimately in control of putting it all together is the director. |

View Quote Neither Nolan nor Villenueve are "perfect" film makers; however they both have an excellent work ethic and it shows in their production values. I am not necessarily optimistic but I am hopeful. |

If any of you have ever heard of Alejandro Jodorowsky.....man...his version would have been either horrible as all get out...or one hell of a midnight, acid trip movie.

You should move to a small planet, somewhere the rule of law still exists. You will not survive here. You are not a Fremen, and this is a planet of Fremen now
I nominate Benicio del Toro as Duke Leo |

So, Dune. It's one of those soft sci fi novels I have never really gotten into...and yet have always enjoyed the first novel, just the same. For me, it's kind of like a Christopher Nolan film...despite it's imperfections, you can tell the author is trying to make something beautiful for you. Too, as a fan of deserts ( I hate lots of plants, water...AND BUGS ) I have always enjoyed sparse ecosystems. For various reasons, Dune (only the first book) has always appealed to me as an imaginative experiment. I am one of the few who appreciated SOME of the things that David Lynch TRIED to do with the 1984 version of Dune. That being said, he was drawn into the project way too quickly and without enough forethought. Also, some of the plot devices and other things cooked up for the movie such as heart plugs, the weirding modules, etc. really ruined what could have been a better story. I think it was the set design and casting IDEAS that I liked. I was always bummed that he was hampered by jumping into Dune too quickly, without a more explicit knowledge of the book, the fans of the Dune universe and by the sheer scope of something that should have been more thought out before being tackled. Now Denis Villenueve is tackling Dune...and, after seeing and REALLY enjoying Blade Runner 2049 ( a movie that I was COMPLETELY AGAINST being made ) ...I must say I am pretty excited by his two part venture into the Dune Universe. I didn't like BR 2049 the first time I saw it..but I didn't hate it, either. After seeing it several more times, I have become a HUGE fan of the movie. I also enjoyed Sicario ( again, not perfect ) and Arrival. He works very hard at telling mature, yet enjoyable tales. I am thinking, if anyone can tell this story and tell it well....it will be Villenueve. I thank God every day that Ridley Scott won't be involved in this because after Prometheus and Covenant, I wouldn't trust Ridley with making me an In n' Out burger....and you don't know how much that seriously breaks my heart as Ridley has directed some of my most beloved films. Hell, Ridley Scott is who got me addicted to movies, quite honestly. Anyhow, is anyone else excited or curious about this? I am cautiously optimistic about it. View Quote |

Quoted: What are your thoughts on the Sci-Fi Mini-series from the early '00's? I thought it was well done, wish it had a bigger budget. The special effects have not withstood the test of time. View Quote |

Definitely. The mini series are very good. View Quote I have been using the Ideas of Ice and Fire youtube synopsis' to fill in a bit on the Frank Herbert books, 1-6 and have decided to go ahead and forge past Dune Messiah and see if I like the rest. I've only read the first two and, quite honestly, only sincerely enjoyed the first one. However, being a bit filled in the universe now, I think I can give Messiah another try and move past it. We shall see. |

I think people are so starved in a wasteland of (current) bad sci-fi that they’ll drool over anything with good special effects and “rolling oranges” action. It wasn’t as awful as Prometheus, but it’s an utterly forgettable movie. Some folks wanted it to be epic so bad they don’t realize how mediocre it really is. 10 years after BR, it was more popular than it ever was at the box office - I’ll bet 10 years from now the sequel will be mostly forgotten. |
