... I believe the best way of doing Dune again would be to split it, Lord of the Rings style, into three films corresponding to the book's three sections.

What would you call the three sections in Dune?

Re: New Dune adaptation may be in the works
I see I thought you meant to split the novel Dune into three movies.

Or, bring back Intermission :p. |
Re: New Dune adaptation may be in the works
Apparently Denis Villeneuve is interested in this. As he quickly became one of my favorites I fully endorse him as the director.

Re: New Dune adaptation may be in the works
Let's see if this turns out better than Lynch's Dune. I doubt it because Lynch's Dune is a classic though of so-bad-its-great.

Re: New Dune adaptation may be in the works
It's very deep and layered. I wouldn't mind it as a big budget mini series but I doubt that would bring in the $ they could make some epic action scenes and introduce a rich new universe. I haven't sen the movie. Read the first book last year, quite good.

Re: New Dune adaptation may be in the works
I'm not opposed to this idea. It needs an updated adaptation.

This guy is going to eventually going to get too exhausted, he's been really busy. I still have not watched a single one of his movies.
Is the original Dune worth watching? I know the main consensus is no from most, but Lynch, right? There's gotta be something redeemable there. |

Yes it's worth watching...but only the original theatrical release which is 137 minutes. Avoid the longer extended version which adds in some boring long scenes, while cutting out the more potent David Lynch scenes.

David Lynch (13 January 2006) : "Dune I didn't have final cut on. It's the only film I've made where I didn't have it...
In those days the maximum length they figured I could have is two hours and seventeen minutes, and that's what the film is, so they wouldn't lose a screening a day, so once again it's money talking and not for the film at all and so it was like compacted and it hurt it... There is no other version. There's more stuff, but even that is putrefied."
Upon completion, the rough cut without post-production effects ran over four hours long. David Lynch's intended cut of the film was almost three hours long. However, Universal and the film's financiers expected a standard, two-hour cut of the film. To reduce the run time, Dino De Laurentiis, his daughter 'Raffaella De Laurentiis, and Lynch excised numerous scenes, filmed new scenes that simplified or concentrated plot elements, and added voice-over narrations, plus a new introduction by Virginia Madsen.

That's too bad. I don't know why anyone would give Lynch the task of doing a studio picture after watching Eraserhead, though, were they really expecting he'd easily take all of their barking orders?
