IMDB does list a Dune tv show under Villanueva’s upcoming projects. Of course anything on that site comes with a grain of salt because it’s user generated. But still. There’s a TON of lore to explore from those novels and if Foundation is doing well for Apple maybe HBO will want it’s own space show(I’m not starting up the Dune genre debate again haha). So a number 1 opening, WB’s best opening alongside HBO, Villanueva’s best opening, and I think I read it’s doing well overseas? Gotta be safe to assume Part 2 gets the go ahead at this point right?

………….ok

What is this supposed to mean? The 5th season was green lit and production is finished. So The Last Kingdom adaption will have 5 seasons and a movie. How is anyone wrong in stating that?

At this point I’ve come full circle on Bay. I’m psyched for this lol

Fuck that video is great. I could watch him do that from start to finish on the whole damn film. And he’s right, he 1000% nailed bringing that scene from the book to life.

For everyone that hasn’t read the books. In regards to the ending. My wife didn’t read the book and was completely satisfied with the ending and didn’t think it ended abruptly or in a bad spot. It absolutely needs its part 2 but in terms in the technician craft of how and when to close out a movie, it ends well. Personally I was expecting an ending like the finale of the Sopranos where it was going to be really sudden and leave you with “wait wtf, that’s it???” And it doesn’t do that.

So im tired and don’t wanna write three paragraphs tonight. But that was absolutely incredible. An absolutely brilliant adaption. I couldn’t believe that while I was sitting there watching the movie, it was envoking that exact same vibes and tone and emotions that I get from reading the book. Not just that you get sad at the same part or angry at the same part. But he managed to recreate the actual tone of the book. At least in my experiences reading it. It looks incredible. I saw it in an RPX theater that has the subwoofers in the seats and HOLY SHIT was that worth the extra money. The score and music are fantastic. As for the ending. I’ll say it def ends in a place where if you didn’t know there was a part 2 you’d think “uhhh what the fuck?” But it also didn’t just end suddenly and out of nowhere. They place they stopped is almost exactly where I thought they would. And I do think there’s an aspect to Paul’s story that does finish a single movie arc. I’m honestly not sure how he could have ended it any better. I pray to god this does well and they let him finish it as it would be an absolute crime to finish this piece of art. Can’t wait to watch it again at home tomorrow. Annnnd I wrote 3 paragraphs anyway.

Got tickets to see it in an RPX theater at 4pm today. I’m psyched out of my mind. I feel like I’ve been waiting my whole life for this movie lol. The fact that this adaption and a Wheel of Time adaption are arriving within a month of each other is pure overload for my teenage nerdom 😂

Tom Hanks would have been a perfect correct video game age Sully.

Well now hold on a second. Given your recent views we need to narrow this down. Do you need an actual comedy? Or do you need a full blown drama? Because you 1000% didn’t just finish two actual comedies.

And Outlander and Ash v Evil Dead

Agreed

Except he’s literally exactly a younger Sully. He’s perfect for this. I mean I guess if you coulda got Affleck to do it 🤷🏻‍♂️ And this is the similar weird logic like “the Last of Us shouldn’t be about Joel and Ellie” Lol it cracks me up. Resident Evil and Prince of Persia get criticized for not resembling the games at all. Then Last of Us and Uncharted get criticized for looking like the games. Lol we all really need to make up our minds with what we want from Video Game Movies.

Looks just as fun as Red Notice to me 🤷🏻‍♂️ I love these Indiana Jones/National Treasure adventure movies. I could honestly care less how close it is to the game, the cast alone is fun

Came in expecting a certain expected response to that trailer from this board. I leave satisfied haha

New trailer. Just a heads up it seems to show a lot.

Agreed. I haven’t read the books but the show has been really fantastic so far. From what I understand Empire isn’t really featured as heavily in the main books? They show up more in the prequels? So if all the stuff with empire is different and has been added to the show, Bra-fucking-vo!!! Cause that shit is incredible.

That’s a great article. The passion is certainly there. I dunno how many people here follow them on Twitter but they’ve released a bunch of small clips and it looks utterly fantastic so far. I think aiming to be a cultural phenomenon like GoT is an insane goal, I think at the very least this show is going to be very good.

Ohhh I didn’t realize there was a 4K version. I’ll have to grab that

Well played sir. Well played.

I wonder if this will have enough comedic arcs to truly considered a comedy variety show or if it’ll really just be a dramatic variety show with comedic elements.

And it’s also telling you didn’t bother to read fully through mine. I said the show uses arcs that’s are simultaneously built for both comedy and drama. There are also scenes that are built exclusively for humor. There’s no arcing story to them but they exist as standalone scenes. But you seem to think a show needs arcs built only for comedy to define it as a comedy. So next season there should be a running gag about Ted shitting his pants to requalify as comedy? What genre do you put Schitts Creek in?

Lol no because that’s an asinine way to judge a comedy. So in order for something to be a comedy it must have full arcs that are based exclusively on the premise of only being funny? Any show that manages to do both simultaneously is now a drama? Lol if you say so.

you know what genre makes sense to not really have to adhere to super serious rules or realistic portrayal of the sport? Comedy.

The lines “No viewer should care about Richmond” and “What plot lines are based around comedy” LOL you guys continue to kill me.
