Dune Reboot in the Works?

Oh my, this might be really good if done right. Now that they can do it in a few movies it might be really good.

Vanity Fair has some pics of the new film's characters...looks on point.

Nope.

The only Dune movie is the Lynch version. I said it up thread, it's a great terrible movie. The best terrible movie ever made, but it works, and as Patrick Stewart says in the beginning of this clip, it does have a lot of great actors in it, and that could be why. Stick out for the entire clip, it's worth it.

There ought to be a trailer soon. Anyone heard any news?

Yeah, I heard there was an explosion in Beirut.

I really hope the trailer comes out soon. I'm jonesing for new movies. The only flick that's coming up soon that I have any interest in is Bill and Ted 3, and maybe this one, if the trailer doesn't stink.

Tererun ever watched dune mini?

The SciFi Channel one from a couple years ago? I thought that was very well done, unlike that God-awful adaptation of Childhood's End they did later.

"Folks, I said...you play in a police band?"

Empire covers.

The trailer is playing before Tenet in the UK and Canada, it seems. https://www.gamesradar.com/dune-trailer-description-tenet-timothee-chalamet/

Offical trailer supposed to drop Sept 9th. This will be different and longer than the one currently playing with Tenet apparently.

Also, here's some leaked images from the Tenet teaser:

Here's the trailer for the trailer.

I never understood the appeal of Dune. Read the first book ages ago and thought it was overrated and dull as shit. I also thought the 1984 and 2000 films were abortions.

But this latest version is helmed by Denis Villeneuve (who is awesome) so I'll give it a shot.

Just dawned on me that they have someone playing Glossu Rabban, but I haven't yet seen any hint that anyone is playing Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen.

Is Feyd not in this?

IMDB doesn't show anyone playing Feyd in this one. I think this is the first of two parts and Feyd may not appear until the second.

I would think they've got to get a "name" to play Feyd. There have been rumors that Bill Skarsgard (Pennywise!) is going to play the role. Would be fitting, since his father Stellan plays Baron Harkonnen.

I got all the way to the first half of the third book and gave up for just the reasons you cite. However, I thought Lynch's movie was at least entertaining and the SciFi Channel miniseries version was actually pretty good.

Um...






Well, uh...







I'm gonna go with...

Like the Pink Floyd.
Be cool if they scored the film, but they probably won't.

...I don't know how to explain it to people that don't get it.
You can either see colors or you can't.


You're given a God's-eye view of how society, the environment, religions, politics, and economics all interlock in a big history shaping machine.
It makes the allegory to our world Trek does look like Tinker-Toys.
It makes the politics on Babylon 5 look like chimpanzee fingerpaints.

How can that not give you a raging brainer?

It makes it easier for me to fall asleep.

Yeah I'll be seeing this, great trailer

I'm a little mixed on the original Dune movie - some very cool stuff but some weird as hell shit too, and it definitely lags at times. But on the whole I do enjoy it

With the material, modern special effects, this cast and Villeneuve at the helm I think it has the potential to be great

They definitely won’t. David Gilmour at least has said that Pink Floyd fully ceased to exist once Rick Wright passed away.

Well, if you’re someone who likes page after page of god counting off every hair on every sandworms ass, I suppose it’s a fun experience. For the rest of us however...

The composer has already been named. Forget who it is, but IIRC, it’s someone who’s worked frequently with the director. Floyd was supposed to do the score for the first film in the 70s, but that whole thing fell apart. They did release the music they’d composed for the film.

The slow blade penetrates the shield.

No shit. That was my immediate first thought.

After Se7en, the phrase "what's in the box" should never, ever be used again in a movie. The Dune writers should know this. Epic fail.
