“I don’t want to make stupid jokes right now that will I regret tomorrow morning. But I will say this,” Villeneuve recently told the New York Times when asked about the bucket. “When I saw it, I went, “Hoooooly smokes.” What the [expletive]!? At the same time, it created a lot of fun online. So maybe it’s positive? It’s some kind of … impressive design.”
Villeneuve was quick to stress that at no point was he involved in the design process for the bucket, but fellow interviewee and Dune star Timothée Chalamet did at least feel sympathetic for whichever poor person did before it got exposed to the dread inevitability of the internet. “I can’t tell if someone is at home right now going, ‘My design worked perfectly and everyone’s talking about it,’” Chalamet joked, “or if someone’s brutally offended by the response.”

Who's seeing DUNE2 first? (I believe it was Lagom last time, since he lives in an enlightened country where movies come early.)
I have tickets for Saturday afternoon.

Re: Legendary buys film and tv rights to Dune [movie] Dune 2021
I just watched part one again, and it dawned on me that so much of what I loved about it was that (IMHO) it got the look and feel of the world so perfectly right.
Of course a sequel will be continuing that same look and feel, so the sense of surprise at it will no longer apply. I wonder what will impress us most about part two.

Is it streaming anywhere? For some reason I remember it being available on Prime or some other streaming service relatively soon after release.

Saw it last night. Imax. Pretty darn good, if not great. I need to see it again. I thought the second half was best. High production value in every category.
Yeah, that Furiosa trailer was great! The Godzilla King Kong trailer showed me that it will be terrible.

Re: Legendary buys film and tv rights to Dune [movie] Dune 2021
I rewatched Part One last night (with my 9yo son for his first time), and we're going to see Part Two this afternoon. I wasn't sure what my son would think because Part One is a bit of a slow burn, but he did get pulled into the story despite the slow pace. I showed him the final trailer for Part Two and he's super excited to see how it ends.
IMAX is sold out at the times we can make it, but we will be seeing it in the Cinemark XD theater. Will post with impressions this evening...

Re: Legendary buys film and tv rights to Dune [movie] Dune 2021
Just got back and really enjoyed it...easily one of the better movies I've seen in a while. Some people may be getting tired of Zendaya because she's the "it girl" of the moment and showing up everywhere, but I think she and Chalamet both play their roles perfectly. As someone who has never read the books, I'm happy with where the story goes and will be there on opening day for the next one if the studio lets it happen.

Re: Legendary buys film and tv rights to Dune [movie] Dune 2021
Loved it.
The things cut in this movie don't bother me as much as they did in the first... although there are a few characters that just kind of disappear between the movies.
My only real criticism is that I think the Harkonnen are too brutal. I Yes, they're the baddies, but I think if they had been humanized just a bit, they would have been even scarier, and more believable.
Oh, and the architecture nerd in me really enjoyed the use of Carlo Scarpa's Brion Tomb as the filming location for the Padishah Emperor's house.

Re: Legendary buys film and tv rights to Dune [movie] Dune 2021
Harkonnens were cruel and decadent throughout. There are interesting contrasts between the Atraides ideal, the Harkonnen reality, and Paul’s galactic jihad. It gets played up in Part Two. The real horrors are after Part Three.

81 million, I believe. Biggest opening since Taylor Swift’s concert movie. Odds of a third movie are good if box office is the only hurdle.
Edit: that’s domestic. Global box office is 178.5 million. Not too shabby.

Re: Legendary buys film and tv rights to Dune [movie] Dune 2021
We caught Part 2 yesterday, after some searching to find a theater with non-shitty seats available. What an accomplishment. The ending achieves a weird combination of triumphant and deeply disquieting that I've never experienced before.

Re: Legendary buys film and tv rights to Dune [movie] Dune 2021
Saw it on Saturday and I'm finally ready to air my thoughts.
Villeneuve is one of the best directors working right now. He has proven that he respects the material he makes. I'm an unabashed fan boy of Guillermo del Toro and that's because he loves movies and he loves horror, the two things he's known for, and it shines through in his movies. Villeneuve gives me that same feel. He respects and loves what he's doing, it seems. That's the kind of thing that separates a Michael Bay from a really good director. It doesn't hurt that he has the eye of a true artist when it comes to framing his shot.
As for the movie itself.

Re: Legendary buys film and tv rights to Dune [movie] Dune 2021
i think it can be (and probably is) both. Villaneuve did not only empathize some plot lines and de-empathize others, he did not hesitate to interject some of his own 'connect-the-plot' into the narrative to both carve out a defined narrative arc and, it should be said, to insert some 'contemporary' interpretation (some of which was subtle, some of which, not so much).
the fact that he managed to pull off this 'tampering' and still create a satisfying overall effect while remaining true to the source material is the mark of a good director, i think.

IDIOT! He could have been cruisin' for black toothed, Geidi Prime babes without a care in the world if he'd just friggin' think before opening his mouth.
As I wrote, Villeneuve is one of the best directors working right now. I can't wait to see what he does next. I wasn't a fan of Sicario or Prisoner, but I think that was primarily because I didn't really think the scripts were as good as critics made them out to be. But then he did Arrival and Bladerunner 2049 and knocked it out of the park.hitbyambulance wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2024 3:46 pm

Do they actually complete the story of the first book (the only worthwhile book, IMHO)?
I did see rumors awhile back that they might take 3 movies to finish it, and I've been holding out to watch my 4k Bluray version of 1, until 2 came out and completed the story.

DUNE Parts 1 and 2 complete the first book, and the final few minutes actually suggest the events that readers only learn as backstory in the start of the second book.Pyperkub wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2024 8:49 pm Do they actually complete the story of the first book (the only worthwhile book, IMHO)?

Three movies is the plan, but Movie 3 is all of Book 2 (which is significantly shorter than Book 1).

Thanks. I read the first 50-75 pages of book 2 (maybe 30-50% - it was an 80's paperback with dense text) and bounced off.
