Matrim Fox Cauthon Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 My inner cynic says that the reason HBO would focus on the origins of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood would be so that there would be sex erm... selective breeding program scenes.

Dune itself can be set out in a much more mainstream way, I don't see blockbuster audiences finding a lot of fun in the 2 sequel books. Maybe another tv series would work.

I don't really love the book, but I also don't think it especially translates well to screen. I've watched the SyFy version and that has a lot of issues. Children of Dune I think there is at least some promise there. Really I don't know how engaged audience will be with it, guess it depends on how Dune pt2 goes.

Myrddin Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I haven't seen Elvis yet, so it is really hard for me to erase Shannara as the first mental picture when I see Austin Butler mentioned.

Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Elvis is great and he's great in it. This is coming from someone isn't much of an Elvis fan and who aggressively dislikes biopics about rock stars. Myrddin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceChampion Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I remember interviews for Shannara where he fellow actors praise him to heaven and said he'd become a big thing some day, but that might have been just John-Rhys Davies. Accurate prediction its looking like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace, Extat Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) Folks are in town for the weekend- sister showed up with my nephew First words out of the boy's mouth, no lie... "I wanna watch Duuune!" He's 43 months old, if I'm not mistaken about his birthdate Yes, he knows which one is "Duuune" and immediately pointed to the box art which was actually laying half-covered underneath a book. Pulled the disc out of my hand (creating smudge prints that I then had to clean off ) in his haste to put it in the PS4. I couldn't love this kid more if Muad'dib ordered me to. Fuck those witches and their breeding programs, my sister and her dweeby husband already produced a Kwisatz Haderach Seriously, this kid is 3.5 years old and can use Ridiculous, Awesome, and a host of other pretty complex words accurately. Literally just today, actually while I stepped into the bathroom to clean the Duuune disc I was speaking anecdotally to my mother in the living room the boy followed me and -after waiting politely for a break in the conversation- said "Jalen you use a lot of big words when you talk." And in a way that made it clear he was following the conversation, and comprehended through context what the words I was using mean. Nothing crazy, I'm not walking around like Sheldon Cooper when talking to my mother or nothing. But this kid And that's not to short-change his sister, who is sharp as a whip and gonna be a helluvan athelete in addition- this is just the Duuune thread And I know I'm not just talking up my own relations, because that sister had a school thing we went to this evening. Six and seven and eight year olds. And the 3.5 year old, my nephew, had more to say about what was going on than a single one of those kids. Had observations about what was going on and demanded a book from the fare.

Heartofice Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I recently finished reading (or listening to) the two sequel books to Dune. I don’t see how the movies would ever continue this story or translate it to screen. Or why they ever would. The story is so dense and non cinematic. It’s a recipe for a loss making production.

The Children of Dune three part Mini-series done by SciFi Channel (James McAvoy’s first big role) is actually quite well done and cinematic. I think it is better than the SciFi version of Dune. So… if Villeneuve retains control I have confidence he can equal or surpass that production. What is hard for film goers is that Paul Maud’ dib Atreides fades rapidly from the story as those sequals progress. It isn’t the traditional progression for western stories.

Yes I have seen that, but in reality it’s very bad. I recently rewatched it and it’s almost entirely unwatchable except for McAvoy. I used to give it credit because for SYFY thing it wasn’t terrible but I take it back. I cannot imagine how this works in the context of the latest movie or why a general audience would watch it. It’s simply too alienating for most people. Jace, Extat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God-Emperor of Dune is utterly unadaptable. The last two are more of a basic action-adventure story (by Herbert's series) with random evil nymphomaniac nuns. They are more easily adaptable.
