They’re planning on doing 80 (!) episodes of Foundation so they’re just barely warming up! And yeah Lee Pace, phwoar. I think there is plenty room for adaptations of golden age sci fi books, now do Songs of Distant Earth next dammit!

Wingnut Ninja posted:I would love to have seen the water conservatory in particular. I get why they cut it since it's not critical, especially given the removal of the Fenrings and cutting back a lot of the build-up to the Harkonnen attack. But I'm sure it would have looked loving gorgeous in this movie, it's the perfect subject for some scenery porn. They seemed to give a little hint of it in the scene where Duncan finds the grow room in the ecological station, but that ended up not really being the same.

Just get rid of the Foundation part, because they aren't good at it Just film Lee Pace doing whatever, I'd rather watch that. Maybe he can just go in to random worksites and call the bosses names or something

priznat posted:How dumb or optimistic are hark goons anyway. Surely *I* will not be murdered for carrying out my duties like basically everyone before me!! Two ways to look at it are: 1. previous goon murders are classified or misdirected so future doomed henchmen either don't know about it or think the prior guys were fuckups who deserved it. 2. They know they're probably gonna get killed but disobeying orders or trying to run will make things worse so the only thing to do is shut up, do their job quietly, and hope that they were wrong or their boss is in a good mood / forgets to tie up loose ends Vernii fucked around with this message at 15:13 on Oct 27, 2021 |

Cross postin Stellan Skarsgard owns https://www.slashfilm.com/643095/dune-star-stellan-skarsgard-kept-demanding-more-nude-scenes/ quote:Skarsgård — who plays one of the big baddies in “Dune,” the abominable Baron Vladimir Harkonnen — apparently had a lot to say on set about his terrifying take on the character. According to makeup artist Donald Mowat, who was interviewed by The Wrap, Skarsgård was practically begging for more nude scenes, which is only surprising because he was nude in most of the scenes that made it into the final cut of the film anyway. Skarsgård is nude (although, with some very serious makeup on) all over this movie and I’m thrilled at the idea that he couldn’t get enough. nuDe

Okay sure, once we get rid of that then we have a book we might want to make into a movie (it really is a good book and the sci-fi elements are awesome, but holy poo poo talk about being a product of its time).

Yeah, and next let’s make a movie about how Paul Atreides’ fanatic legions conquering the universe was actually cool and good Fun fact, the actual Count of Monte Cristo’s happy ending is he shacks up with his teenage slave who he owned since she was 11 skasion fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Oct 27, 2021 |

Consider Phlebas would be a loving amazing movie or miniseries Those aren't his SF stories I guess. I don't think my mind can really wrap around the idea of a mass-market adaptation of any of his work, whether SF / Culture or not. (plus all his stories are wrapped around a core of bleak human torture one way or another, they might have to adapt that out)
