Anyone know anything about the new Dune movie coming out?

[MuuMuu Bunnylips]

There's supposedly a trailer for it, but all I've found are fake clickbait videos.

 

[frozenrunner]

Looks breddy gud, bro.

 

[The Last Stand]

People still watch movies?

 

[Otterly]

Ooooo, no i hadn’t heard. One of my favourite books...

 

[Trump's Chosen]

I know it won't live up to the books.

 

[Idiotron]

It's in post-production right now, probably will be till September at least.
It's supposedly coming out in November so I'm guessing we'll get a trailer in Summer.

Some people have faith in it, I'm on the fence. I feel like it's one of those stories that is either unadaptable or needs like a full show to do, and I don't know if general audiences will be down with a protagonist that effectively becomes a "villain". Even if the adaptation is almost one for one there's always going to be those people who are unhappy with one or two changes, even if they're understandable.

Oscar Isaac (playing Leto) has referred to the feel as brutalistic, one insider compared the sets to BR2049 (same director) and one article is pre-emptively comparing it to Lord of the Rings. Fingers crossed, but maybe they can pull it off in a two part movie. It didn't work out for IT (in my opinion), but you never know.

the further Dune gets from Frank's prose the worse it gets
Movie Dune has some fun parts, SyFy Dune reaches further than its grasp but it tries

I've never understood why people keep trying to adapt this film. It's like the movie Cats. The original source material medium is the perfect one, and trying to make a movie out of it will result in something that just doesn't mesh. (That still doesn't stop me from wanting to see how Jodorosky's version of the film would have turned out. A 16 hour long epic starring Mick Jagger, Salvador Dali and a shaven Orson Welles as Baron Harkonnen dressed as a fruit salad. It would have been a once in a lifetime spectacle.)

It's a book where Jihadis take on a fat faggot (as in, he's a fat man who takes dicks up his rear). No way is that carrying over into film properly.

 

[neverendingmidi]

50-50 chance of generic space sci-fi/fantasy movie with names taken from the books, or hilariously bad trashfire that pisses off all fans of the books and doesn’t attract anyone new.

Those are your options with modern sci-fi book-to-movie adaptations.

 

[Bongsnake McGee]

Still holding out for Jodorowsky to be able to publish his storyboards for his batshit crazy dune movie.

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

Nepotism Chamalamadungding is in it so it's an automatic no

 

[ProfDongs]

I have faith in it, but there are some poor casting choices in there I think. Zendaya shouldn't be in film, Jason Mamoa doesn't fit as Duncan Idaho, and Josh Brolin is iffy as well. Looking forward to a trailer still.

 

[Shield Breaker]

It's being adapted into two parts. First film supposedly ends with joining the Freeman.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

I know it won't live up to the books.

Could it live up to the 1984 movie?

 

[Pokemonquistador2]

Could it live up to the 1984 movie?

I actually think the 1984 movie works out pretty well (weirdness and all) up until the point where the heroes join the Fremen. Then things get rushed and it feels like we're trying to watch 20 hours worth of content crammed into a 1 hour segment of movie. Maybe cutting it into two parts can make it work out?

...Its a coming-of-age story, but also a call of action for the youth...
Did Villeneuve read Dune at all?
