Graeme Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 This is easily my most anticipated movie right now. It has been a long time since I was as excited for a particular director’s movies as I am for Denis Villeneuve. The fact the DUNE is his follow up to Blade Runner is a bit mind blowing. Cannot wait.

Camp Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 I re-read it last month to get in the spirit. The one thing that pains me about the film is the wait to part 2. JoeyN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romier S Posted September 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 My god. I can’t fucking wait! Please, please be a success. I want a proper Dune Messiah adaptation on the big screen. Dimness and JoeyN 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 It’s missing Sting.... but other than that it looks pretty good. I might need to brush up on the story again. I’m a little afraid that I won’t know/remember what is going on. I would have been clueless watching the David Lynch version if my dad hadn’t been watching it with me.

Angry the Clown Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 I do like the art direction of the Lynch version though. The cast for this version is sensational. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a shitty adaptation, yes but I have a soft spot for it. It has a good cast, great art direction and an awesome soundtrack. The TV cut was always my preferred version.

Angry the Clown Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 I'm curious to see if Arrow's forthcoming disc of the Lynch version will include the TV edit. Romier S 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magness Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 The Lynch version has some of the most iconic imagery in film for me - the Baron, the sandworms, the Bene Gesserit, the stillsuits; literally so much in the movie is utterly amazing visually. It’s a mess of a movie as far as story, pacing, the various versions and edits... But, it’s cast really well, it’s cinematography and “visual language” is stunning and I still love it. I’m definitely looking forward to the new Dune. It takes nothing away from the Lynch version but, I can’t wait to see this new one. I just love this story and the universe of Dune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimness Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 I'm still not finished with God Emperor of Dune. Really looking forward to this film. As time goes on, I think this will have the potential to be a definitive Dune with the Lynch version still being talked about from time to time. But no one will remember the Sci-Fi version. I watched it recently, and I'm not too big on some of the design choices. Magness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t seen the TV edit, so I don’t know if I agree with that part. You would have been less lost if you had. It adds a ton of narration going over the different houses, guilds, what’s at stake, etc. It also adds some key scenes like Fremen extracting the water of life from a worm and more. Yes, the narration is hokey but it makes the film less obtuse for those who may be unfamiliar with the book. Even with the additions, it totally glosses over some of the key elements of the book. Paul’s struggle with how he chooses to use the Fremen and the galactic jihad he unleashes in the process being the most poignant. Along with many important sub- plots including Jessica’s lineage, Gurney’s suspecting of Jessica being the Atreides traitor which leads to Paul choosing to drink the water, etc. 7 hours ago, Angry the Clown said: I'm curious to see if Arrow's forthcoming disc of the Lynch version will include the TV edit. I hope so. I watched the DVD of the TV cut recently specifically because there’s no proper Blu-Ray release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrow did go to the effort of reconstructing the TV edit of Waterworld from the original elements for their Blu-ray release, so perhaps they will do the same for Dune.

They looked pretty bad ass to me. EDIT: Oh nevermind, you're referring to the Sci-Fi mini-series.:) To be fair, the concept art didn't look as bad: The final costumes look like Ren-Faire rejects. Especially that dopey motherfucker on the left. *snicker* Dimness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
