Re: New Dune adaptation may be in the works
 

I don't think that giving Lynch Dune after Eraserhead is any different than giving Jackson Lord of the Rings after Braindead, or Sam Raimi Spider-man after the Evil Dead trilogy though. It seems to be a trend haha.

I read that Ridley Scott had been the director but left the project, so Lynch was brought in. I think if Lynch could have done his original plan of a three hour long movie it would have been great. Dune the novel has way too much stuff in it to try and squeeze it into a 2 hour movie.

I think it's his visual style in things like Eraserhead and The Elephant Man. I think they saw something there that they connected to the dream, and purely visual, sequences that would be required in Dune and they were right on the money.

That's because horror directors are the best kind of directors. :cool:

New DUNE movie/series to happen. Your thoughts?

To this day, Lynch's version is my favorite. I couldn't care less for the TV series. The CGI was all sorts of crappy, the Guild portrayal was cringe worthy. Seriously, just look at this!!

The Baron on Lynch's version is way more menacing then the one on the Tv Series as well, as he should be.

Thanks for posting that! Interesting that there had been other Directors before Dennis Villenuve took over. I wonder how commented he is to the project?

Yea! Another unabashed fan of Lynch's Dune:) I love Lynch's Dune, I know it's story is abbreviated but he wasn't allowed to make a 4 hour movie. I though his sets, art direction, directorial style, casting, everything was well done.

Oh cool. I loved the book when I was a kid but not so much the movie ap art from the score. From memory the acting was dreadful.

I love you already!!!

So many people complaining that his version is nothing like the book. Well, I'm glad it isn't 100% faithful to it and he cut all unimportant stuff out [and included some delicious ones of his]. Great movie, great score, great acting.

Little Devil you might want to check out my review of Dune. My review explains more in detail of why I think many don't like the movie, yet I do like it.

Everyone’s new fave, Timothée Chalamet, is in talks to play Paul Atreides.

Dune has been and may forever be in my top 10 favorite movies ever. I discovered it like in 5th grade maybe when a friend of mine ordered a movie poster featuring young Alia Atreides. I was already in love with sci-fi by then so this just rung a few bells in my heart. I rented it as soon as I could and was immediately taken in by its epic scale and internal monologues. I've always been an observer of sorts and would get lost in my own thoughts analyzing things around me so I found a weird sense of peace watching this movie in how often Paul narrated his thoughts. In a weird way, it was like I found home.

memory slips. Here is a better telling of the same story I forgot I posted here before!

As I typed that, I feel that I may have posted this somewhere else in these forums. Oh well.

You have! but...it's a well written post and I enjoyed reading it again:)

Have you seen Dune (1984) many times? Have you seen both the theatrical cut and the extended (but also edited) version? If so do you have a preference?

That dad pain is real doe :goof: . I can't tell you how often I have tried to figure out the random stuff (like any of us watch) he watches and swear I've found something...

John Wick worked. That dog he says...

I promise I did try to find it before posting!!

I have seen the theatrical many times. It used to play on HBO during summer days out of school and I was watch it every chance I could. It has been a few years now since I've seen it but I'm definitely tempted to pull it up again now.

I have a *cough* digital copy *cough* of some extended version. It looks like a rough draft with several introductory illustrated stills that cycle during narration. Place-holders, if you will, as if they intended to return and fill in the holes but never did. While that was very awkward, expecting a finished product, I did enjoy the additional information that it provided. As I remember it at least. Been a few years, as I noted.

Hell, now that I think about it that may have been last year when I first joined this place. I may have only just learned about an alternate version from these forums and found it from there. hmmmm.....

Why did I ever think Dead Man would work?

didn't Denis villeneue learn anything from blade runner 2049 bomb ?

To take the opportunity to make a challenging film he’s passionate about!

a bomb is a bomb is a bomb...it doesnt matter how good the movie is...the stink of bomb will last for atleast decade
