Chris- Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I appreciate how Legendary more or less gives away the entire game. We said we wouldn’t greenlight it without a bunch of cash, and you little piggies paid up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I hope “this is only the beginning” is code for “we’ll stop before we get into the stuff Frank Herbert’s son wrote.” Not as fast as it would be if they produced them together/back-to-back I'm just sour that it's going to be a while because the studios weren't willing to going all in on it from the beginning.

I think it sucks too, but again, it probably makes sense given the previous ROI on Denis’s other movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid for AMC A-List, that is. $20 a month got a whole lot easier to justify when this IMAX ticket was $17 on its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 4 hours ago, Commissar SFLUFAN said: Denis has previously stated that he'd be only willing to go as far as Dune Messiah if given the opportunity. Well, he didn't say that kind of. He said that's all the energy he'll have initially. I think he'd want to adapt the other 4 books, but definitely not Herbert's son's stuff. Very happy to hear about the greenlight for the sequel! Also Denis has separately said he is ready to shoot right away in 2022, he wants to go. So 2023 doesn't seem impossible.

TwinIon Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 As to the updated title, I didn't register the use of either "jihad" (as per the books) or "crusade" (which I believe was used in the trailers). I recall a reference to a "holy war" and that's it. Personally, I'm fine with that. Both words have a lot of baggage that different viewers will bring with them, so a generic term is fine by me.

Yep, just holy war, which works perfectly fine with me. The movie more than makes clear all the Arabic/Middle Eastern stuff, as it should.

Bacon Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 As someone who has seen dune, but not read it, and seen all the star wars, they really aren't that alike. It is like apple vs pear.

number305 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Dune is to Star Wars as LOTR is to GOT Just because two things are in the same genre does not mean they are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No because Frank Herbert had a prescient vision of Star Wars while under the influence of spice melange. He committed a Time Crime and stole the idea from the future. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Star Wars pretty much ripped off Dune, Dune came first. Bene Gesserit = Jedi's The Voice = The Force Freman = Rebels/Sand People Rugged Sci-Fi theme Arrakis Desert Planet = Tatooine Paul/Luke = young chosen one/Hero's journey Both have manipulating Emperors Sand worms = kryat dragon (was nod to dune) Though agree, completely different stories, but Star Wars did 'borrow' a lot of ideas from Dune.

SimpleG Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Herbert was heavily influenced by Seven Pillars Of Wisdom Lawrence of Arabia, Paul Atreides, and the Roots of Frank Herbert’s Dune | Tor.com WWW.TOR.COM At first glance, Frank Herbert’s Dune (1965) might appear to be a mere copy of the story of Lawrence of Arabia with some science-fictional window dressing. Several critics have pointed to the simil… And perhaps even more influenced by The Sabres Of Paradise even going as far as cribbing some lines from it "Herbert also lifted two of Dune’s most memorable lines directly from Blanch. While describing the Caucasians’ fondness for swordplay, Blanch writes, “To kill with the point lacked artistry.” In Dune, this becomes “[k]illing with the tip lacks artistry,” advice given to a young Paul Atreides by a loquacious weapons instructor. A Caucasian proverb recorded by Blanch transforms into a common desert aphorism. “Polish comes from the city, wisdom from the hills,” an apt saying for a mountain people, becomes “Polish comes from the cities, wisdom from the desert” in Dune." The Secret History of Dune LAREVIEWOFBOOKS.ORG Frank Herbert’s “Dune,” an enduring science fiction classic, owes much of its mythology to “The Sabres of Paradise,” an undeservedly forgotten history.... Its fine playing 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon with pretty much all art due to its incestuous nature as long as people dont get all wrapped up in it.

CitizenVectron Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 Saw it this aft in a near-empty theatre. Fantastic adaptation. My wife, who hasn't read the book and is only familiar with the basic concepts (sand, worms, spice) loved it. Denis is a treasure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dre801 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Just watched it on HBO Max. What a stunner. Definitely on board for Part 2. Never watched the original or read the book, so I can't make comparisons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Yeah, I really liked it too... It didn't bowl me over or anything, but they really did a good job with some challenging material. I almost wish it was a TV show, so they had more time flesh everything out. There's a lot to cram in there. For shits and giggles we put on the 1984 Dune right after and wow... it looks so unbelievably bad. This came out after the Star Wars trilogy? It looked more like a movie from 1974 than 1984. We didn't watch the whole thing, we were just jumping around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dune 1984 had a higher budget than Return of the Jedi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
