Dune

[Jafs]

So this is going into production, despite relatively poor results of Blade Runner 2049 at the Box Office, which was critical for Villeneuve's version of Dune to happen.

 

The casting so far is insane: Rebecca Ferguson, Dave Bautista, Javier Bardem, Thimothée Chalamet, Josh Brolin, Oscar Isaac, Charlotte Rampling, Jason Momoa...

 

Unfortunately, Roger Deakins is not part of the projet this time, but the cinematography will be handled by Greg Fraser (Rogue One).

 

Not sure Jodorowsky will have anything to do for the movie, but news are falling nearly every day since a few weeks.

 

Scheduled for november 20th, 2020

Love the book(s) (I’m currently re-reading them), Jodorowski’s movie would have been absolutely banana, hated Lynch’s (even though I love the guy)... and am damn curious about that upcoming one.

It's a lot to fit into one movie. Some serious good editing needed - hope they pull off a good geek / cult movie even if I can't see it doing well at the B.O

[auxien]

^going to be two movies actually, splitting book one into two films. I’m assuming it’s all being filmed at once...

 

Yeah the cast is ridiculous, if anyone can pull this off it’ll be Villeneuve.

 

I actually like the Lynch movie a lot, for what it is not because it’s a great adaptation or even a great movie particularly. Nostalgia I guess? Don’t care really.

Deakins is out? That sucks. He was the only reason BR2049 was watchable.

The Syfy Dune / Messiah / Children series from 2000 is criminally underrated, and gave us James McAvoy.

Will the main bloke still be called Paul?

gotta have the deak-man

I must not see this movie.
seeing this movie  is the mind-killer.
seeing this movie  is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

not sure what the Atreides’ knight’s armor is about but it all looks good to me. Kynes played by whoever that lady is looks cool and so does Bardem as Stilgar.

[YEK]

Is the old movie worth seeing? Never seen it and it's got horrible reviews. 

[azatoth]

it's worth a watch. lynch at his most 'normal' and sting in his nice blue plastic speedos

yeah it's absolutely worth a watch, I think that so many WATMMERs like it (myself included) is a good endorsement

it's become a bittersweet movie for me, my late mother in law was a big fan of the books and had watched the film many times. first time I saw it was on Easter when it was on cable

I think it's ATOP's favorite film and he's a big cinema nerd

[Soloman Tump]

Love the lynch film.

Cannot wait for this new one, whenever it eventually arrives....
