Dune - dir. Denis Villeneuve

[TruXta]

BR is my favourite because BR.

But...Arrival is a masterpiece, I'll not argue with anyone who rates it higher.

Prisoners is on netflix.

I might rewatch Bladerunner, but at the time I thought it was too long and ponderous.

 

[DexterTCN]

It was made for fans, really.

Prisoners will open your eyes to his abilites though. I'm not saying that just because you haven't seen it. I hadn't seen it, then I saw it. There are...well there's a plot point I don't like but apart from that...fuckin hell. That guy directed BR and Arrival and Sicario....this'll drop your jaw...and he looks like Christopher Lambert in Highlander.

 

[TruXta]

I am a fan of the original

Too long to wait it had better be worth it

imax or 3d?

 

[Crispy]

Filming starts today in Budapest.
Hans Zimmer is doing the score.
Chang Chen (the desert bandit from Crouching Tiger) is cast as Yueh.
Still waiting on casting for the Emperor, Thufir and Kynes.

 

[Reno]

imax or 3d?

Both

 

[DotCommunist]

Thufir

Needs someone with massive eyebrows

 

[Tankus]

Dennis Healy would have nailed it ..maybe they could dig him up ?

 

[DexterTCN]

Stephen Mckinlay Henderson has been cast but dunno who as, could be any of those three.

 

[Idaho]

Needs someone with massive eyebrows

I didn't really like the lynch mentats. There is no reason why they should be bumbling hairy things. Thufir is the master of assassins. He should be physically fairly daunting.

Dune 1984 vs Dune 2020: Who's Playing Who in the Remake!

This is entertaining. At least I thought so.

What the hell are they talking about?

'Dune' Actress Rebecca Ferguson Says Denis Villeneuve Has Given Her Character "Empowerment & Powerful Moments" Not Seen In The Novel

For those that aren’t aware of the story, Jessica is a Bene Gesserit woman that is also the mother of lead character Paul Atreides and the concubine for Duke Leto. And given that description, you can probably see why Villeneuve might be interested in giving Jessica a bit more agency and empowerment than Frank Herbert did in his novel

The Bene Gesserit are the toughest and smartest people in the dune universe! In fact they are so far ahead of everyone else that they dumb it down to avoid attention. Jessica could beat the crap out of any of the main characters in the book. I have no idea why they are suggesting otherwise in this interview.

looks promising, still think it would have been better as a series though

 

[Idaho]

The problem with the visual medium... None of them wearing full hoods and masks. No fremen would be in the open losing that much moisture.

I bet they don’t wear hoods and masks because these are press photos and obviously they want to show off the cast.

It’s planned as two fairly long films, which will be the same length as a mini-series would be but a series wouldn’t get as large a budget.

 

[Crispy]

The rumoured split is at the time jump, after Jessica drinks the water. That leaves the second film rather thin for plot, so my hunch is that they're putting Messiah into the 2nd film, which has a much more satisfying ending for Paul.

I always said it belonged in the same volume, its an epilogue grown longer than a novella.

 

[DotCommunist]

I'm sold on most of the looks here, Halleck (wheres the inkvine scar tho), Jessica and Idaho stand out as particularly fitting on his brief look.
