There was so much studio interference and the end product isn't what he wanted. He even tried to stop them from attaching his name to the movie.

Kamusha Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I kinda love the Lynch version of Dune. It’s not a good adaptation and is incoherent to those who have never read the book but I’ve never seen a movie quite like it. And the score by Toto is perfection.

Fizzzzle Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 They also did special effects before they had computers, even the box shields, which is kind of crazy. I'm constantly astounded by VFX work in sci movies before 30 years ago, when (gor the most part) they literally did not have CGI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewhyteboar Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Finally saw it. That movie fucking rocked. The acting, the sound, the costume design, it all kicked ass. Hell yeah sign me up for more of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodporne Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 So I just finally saw it earlier today. I've only ever seen about half of Lynch's version because it was abysmal and have never read the books for some background. Even going in blind really, the movie did a great job setting up the mythology, lore and plot and seemingly cut at a perfect point. I liked this SO much more than I expected. The trailers didn't do the atmosphere and amount of mystical gravitas (lol what a pretentious phrase) justice. I'm not sure besides Blade Runner maybe if I've ever seen a vision of the future or of another civilization that felt so 'different' yet natural and holistic. I absolutely loved the costumes, the machines and sets. All of it really. 9.5 for me and another fucking Villeneuve homerun. This guy has a crazy streak.

And that makes sense as it's over 20,000 years in the future (if memory serves correct)—imagine even the ancient Egyptians (being only a few thousand years ago) seeing one of our current wars/struggles play out.

That puts it in better words yeah. I constantly thought the film felt truly "removed" from modern humanity and it felt incredibly well realized. The architecture, interior designs, costumes, everything was so thoroughly alien looking, it was fantastic. The story itself could've been shit and I would've still enjoyed being in that world for its runtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamusha Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I definitely respect the hell out of what the movie is going for but it was a bit too dry for my tastes, no pun intended. It would have been nice if they leaned more into the psychedelic elements of the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be correct - Dune takes place approximately 22,000 AD/CE. 14 hours ago, Bloodporne said: That puts it in better words yeah.

It's why the books have such fans, it's an incredibly well realized sci fi setting. 14 hours ago, Komusha said: I definitely respect the hell out of what the movie is going for but it was a bit too dry for my tastes, no pun intended.

Yeah the book is even weirder, and the later books get even weirder, which Villenueve can do, but it's pretty clear he had to get his franchise off the ground first so he dialed some of that back a bit.

Moa Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Finally got around to watching this. I have a pretty mixed opinion of the book but I can’t imagine a better adaptation of that source material than what they’ve done with this movie. I love how empty and grand everything is. It’s the perfect look for a sci-fi universe gone so high it wraps back around and becomes low fantasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Zaslav, just take this project out back and put it out of its misery. ‘Dune: The Sisterhood’: Director Johan Renck & Star Shirley Henderson Exit HBO Max Series Amid Creative Overhaul & Production Hiatus DEADLINE.COM 'Dune: The Sisterhood' Director Johan Renck & Star Shirley Henderson Exit HBO Max Series Quote HBO Max‘s Dune prequel TV series’ long journey to the screen is taking another turn. Dune: The Sisterhood (wt), which started production in late November, is undergoing a creative shift, a director change and a recasting. Chernobyl executive producer Johan Renck, who had signed on to direct the first two episodes, has exited the project. Search is underway for his replacement as production has been put on hold. Shirley Henderson, who had been tapped as one of the leads, also is leaving. Her role as Tula Harkonnen will be recast. That is in addition to creator Diane Ademu-John, who had written the pilot script, stepping down as co-showrunner in the run-up to production, with veteran TV writer-producer Alison Schapker becoming sole showrunner of the Legendary-produced series.

Oooof, no, God Emperor of Dune is my favorite one. That one closes the Atreides chapter, so I could see ending it there. But c'mon, the issues he tackles in that book are so good.

It's unquestionably the most philosophically interesting book in the series, but it's simply unadaptable to the visual medium and probably best left within the "mind's eye". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
