Why So Serious?
|
I couldn't find a thread on this.
This is an upcoming Sci-Fi epic based on the 1965 novel of the same name, and a remake of the 1984 flick. The film will be split into two parts. I haven't seen the original 1984 film, nor read the novel, but the A-list cast and Denis Villeneuve (one of the best directors around atm) are enough to interest me. The film stars Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Zendaya, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Charlotte Rampling, Jason Momoa and Javier Bardem. Here's the plot. Quote:

I think I've watched the original movie and played Dune 2 on Sega Genesis.

I liked the David Lynch film when I saw it when I was young.

The Dune book series is great. The original film had Sting in it which was a bit of a downer for me. The books are so involved that it's impossible for a film to capture more than just an essence of the story, but I will certainly watch it.

I played the original Dune PC game and loved it , and of course Dune 2 which was the catalyst/precursor for the classic RTS - it was made by Westwood who then went on to develop their own IP's where the gameplay mechanics are heavily Dune 2 influenced... Dune's "Spice" becoming "Tiberium" for the Command & Conquer series (which in turn influenced things like Starcraft).

So reading the premise and looking at the cast, I see Atreides, Harkonnen, Fremen... but where is Ordos?
Saving them for the sequel? Last edited by Calderyon; 30-08-2020 at 08:45 PM. |

Ordos being absent is a mistake.

Part 2 is already confirmed, and yes this film only covers the first half of the first Dune book, so I personally say viewers beware: you're not getting a full story here and will have to wait a couple of years for the next part. It's not even like a lot of films that are self-contained and then have a "sequel" ... the structure of this film is very much a "part one of two". It ends half way through the narrative, on somewhat of a cliffhanger.

It is a gorgeous film though, both in terms of visuals and sound design, definite chef's kiss.
I however agree with arista; watch it at night in a dark room, there are some very dark scenes that can be hard to make out even with a little light shining on the screen. If there's sunlight coming in, forget it, you won't be able to see half of it in some scenes . |

Hans did the entire soundtrack during lockdown which is why its 99% sound design. The result is amazing though

Yes, let's hope Dune 2 does not have the same bad light as this mega film has. |

I've watched it now. I thought it was great at the start, I was really into it. It peters out a bit in the last half hour.
Was a bit disappointed not to see the Guild Navigators. |
