The first trilogy ends on a flat note with the whole 2nd foundation thing, and the follow up trilogy gets into some weird poo poo as they explore more and more ideas with an ending that just seems like Asimov patting himself on the back for his great work. Arkady Darrell in book 3 is a genuinely good female character, she charges off into the galaxy to sort poo poo out.

Movie looks great. Only just read the book, and I'm still on the fence about reading the sequels. Should probably watch the Lynch version, but meh.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:It's absolutely coming out this year. It's now the signature release of the year and the platform for which studios will construct their theater 'experience' going forward under covid. There is no way the studios would pass up this opportunity to stand out with this material that in any other climate would be hard to sell to people. By December the studios will have worked out a framework for longer theatrical schedules and infrastructure in urban markets, and Dune, with that cast, will be the biggest thing this year...especially since everyone else is dead in the water.

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:wait i gotta back up a second. so are we going to go to the theater and sit in a pod to watch dune? is that the theory? "only in theaters" I doubt a pod, but I think the thing is that studios up until July seemed to be just counting on covid 'blowing over'  talking out my rear end but what they're actually going to have to do to save their hold on the theater industry is establish a platform for theaters to be able to engage in standardized safety protocols, which means working with theaters to develop guidlines, planning for smaller crowds, longer theatrical runs, drive-ins at outdoor convention center venues, etc I think Dune is probably the ideal launch pad of this paradigm because it's development and release were less affected by the last 6 months of covid than, say, Tenet, WW84, MCU, Mulan, But Villanueve is certainly threading the needle. That cast tho, that's a cast you can market to a lot of people if you do it right, and they are leaning hard on the Chalomet/Zendaya side of things to get the MCU fans in there, with Momoa, Bautista, and Isaac. I think this is why so little of Baron, Jessica in the trailer, and no focus on Feyd, Alia, etc. Gotta keep the focus tight right now, get people hooked on what they usually go to theaters for: the melodrama and the action scenes. That said, I think the actual film will be quite BR2049-esque and will be nearly 3 hours, with big time hints of Feyd near the end. fishing with the fam posted:Movie looks great.

As someone who only recently decided "yeah, I'm gonna read the rest of the books," I'd say you should at least read Messiah and Children. That's pretty much "The Paul Trilogy". There's a 3500 year jump between Children and God Emperor. I'm about 1/3 through GE now, and it continues the snowballing of weirdness. What would really blow my mind is if Dune takes off as a movie franchise and they *do* attempt a God Emperor film. Not just because of the weirdness but because of the time jump. I mean, the difference of 3500 years is the difference between present day and the peak of ancient Egypt. I'd love to see if they would attempt complete stylistic changes for technology, costumes, architecture, etc.

It looks like the blood spray of the guys killed by Duncan is trapped by the shields. Never thought of it but it make perfect sense. Or maybe the shields turn red when pierced? Either way I'm sold.

I wonder if they just have Jamis' challenge added into the outdoor scene where they first find Paul and Jessica, that's the vibe I'm getting from the trailer Maybe they want to save the naked boy-man fighting for Dune 2

exmachina posted:But... Still no Hawat or Feyd. Lovely Bautista looking more and more likely. I don't see how they'd get so many things right and faithful to the book and then drop a major character like that. They've got to tease him in the first movie and have him step up in the second.

We're also not expecting to see Shaddam, Irulan, the Fenrings, etc, because they don't figure in the first half of the novel. But there's no reason to expect that they've been cut. Feyd's only scene before his arena fight is at the very start when the Baron explains his plan to the audience, and there's no reason it shouldn't just be Rabban there instead, since he's the one who has a part in the scheme to retake Arrakis. Feyd will probably be at least mentioned in those scenes. It'd be great if he's there, but if not it's still fine to introduce him at the start of part 2 with his arena fight. We've also seen very little (zero?) of Piter, who we know for sure is in this film. I'm very confident Feyd will be in part 2.

We all know its going to be timothee in a blonde wig e: if they are intentionally keeping it secret they could film actor x in the appropriate baron scene pretty quietly I would guess. Just dont know why. I doubt for a few reasons that they would fully merge feyd and rabban Ingmar terdman fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Sep 10, 2020 |

one thing to note about the muted color is that color grading is the last thing that gets done, and this would hardly be the first film where the grading in the final changes dramatically from what's in the trailer. That said, the design language leaning heavily brutalist would suit the bleakness as it is in the trailer

The washed out palette makes sense with how the sky was described and it looks like they actually did that for a lot of the shots. Only one that had a blue sky that I saw was paul and gurney on the thopter.

Ingmar terdman posted:We all know its going to be timothee in a blonde wig Yeah, I feel like Feyd has just been left out of this film, which as mentioned would be totally competent. However, I do think it's fun to entertain the notion that it's a casting so outrageous they can't reveal it yet. Like, Banksy. Or, Baron Trump! It's much harder to think of crazy jodorowskyesque Feyds than it is Emperors though. That's a fun game. (I'm currently on Hayao Miyazaki).
