New pic that looks awfully "snapped from a trailer" to me. But hoping for a trailer around the corner is probably silly at this point.

I don't envy the people who have to decide when and where to spend marketing dollars for something that may or may not come out as planned. Yeesh.Quoting Wryan (view post)

Paul in training?
He's quite a naturally spindly dude. Hope he can get some lean muscle on him for the sequel.

Some leaked snippets from the trailer that the studio hilariously thinks will be safe until SEPTEMBER FUCKING 9th. A teaser version of the trailer is apparently going to be in front of some Tenet screenings, but a fuller version is due to be released in Sept. Yeah....we'll see.
EDIT: And they're gone now.

The PR department has awakened.

Denis hasn't failed me yet.Quoting megladon8 (view post)
Agreed but I just have serious doubts about Dune ever being properly adapted into a movie. Every version (that I've seen) has been a mess. I get the feeling the book is too dense to be adapted into a few hours without either a) significantly cutting back on everything, or b) it being an overly convoluted mess of ideas.Quoting Skitch (view post)
The Lynch version is so overfilled with V/O exposition in order to communicate all of the intricacies of the story world, characters and politics. It would be some kind of miracle to not have that be a problem in the new version.
Granted I have not read the book(s), but I don't
I haven't read the books either. The movie and docs I've seen lead me to believe its nearly unadaptable and very weird nerd shit I may never be into. Also...Quoting megladon8 (view post)

I'm glad he's doing anything sci-fi.
I've seen two Denny V flicks and came away from both liking them just fine and being relatively unmoved by them. Sometimes they feel so calculated in their artistry that they come off a little contrived, if that makes any sense. Like the narrative gets a little lost in the quest for perfect framing and perfect sound and perfect blocking. Looking forward to the flick, though, 'cause again, liked 'em both.
Which ones have you seen?Quoting Dead & Messed Up (view post)
I've seen Arrival and Blade Runner 2049.
This movie is going to be lightyears better than Lynch's.
Also, he said he wouldn't agree to it unless it was two movies. So it'll be around 5 hours total film I'd guess. That's not so bad.

To be fair, I've had bloody penile discharge that was light-years better than Lynch's.
I have Prisoners and am wanting to watch it but my interest dropped to hell when someone casually told me the ending as if it was no biggie.Quoting Dead & Messed Up (view post)
Seen Prisoners, Enemy, Sicario, Arrival and BR2049.
Enjoyed all of them, really.

Maaaaaybe? I don't think they'll beat the production design and costumes of Lynch's film, which are second only to Scott's "Blade Runner."Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
The book is kinda sorta unfilmable. SyFy did a mini-series version ~20 years ago that was okay, but they reduced the story to its most basic elements.
I don't think Villaneuve's movie will be good because the guys writing it have terrible track records. Among their credits: "The Postman," "The Good Shepherd", "Munich," "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "Prometheus," "Passengers," and "The Mummy" (2017).
So you got one guy who writes bad prestige dramas and another guy who writes terrible fantasy stuff, both of them adopting an awkward and unwieldy novel.
Yeah. We all know why you're here. Don't try and hide it.Quoting Wryan (view post)

I've seen Lynchs film twice. It's one of those films that falls into what I call an "anomaly of cinema". Is it good? I dont know. Do I watch it? Yes. Because it's just so damn bizarre I cant believe it got made.

Might try and go into this movie without having seen a trailer or anything.
