It’s a bit scary after he himself mentioned it would be a tough story to put together but at the same time I’m here for it. I’d rather have Denis do it than JJ Abram’s or some other schmuck completely changing tone mid-story
Denis hasn't made a bad movie yet, so I am stoked to see him continue this storyline aince he wants to do it (for the fans).
Starting soon isn’t the same as rushing. I’m with you - he’s batting 1.000 so far.
Happy to hear he’ll work on the next Dune. Sad that it means he’s not working on another Blade Runner installment.
He wasn't going to work on that regardless. His next project would've been an adaptation of Rendezvous with Rama. I also never heard anything about Villeneuve wanting to make another Blade Runner, I don't think that's in the picture at all.
I'm not convinced there's another good story to tell in Blade Runner. Granted, I was pretty shocked when 2049 found an excellent story.
And Sony fucked him by using Harrison Ford in the marketing when it was clearly meant to be a reveal within the story. It's literally written and shot to be a surprise reveal but Sony being Sony thought it would get more butts in seats.
Fantastic film otherwise
Yeah, boy was I pleasantly surprised BR2049 was not a shitty cashgrab. On the topic, I'd like a new story in Blade Runner universe with new characters, not related to original movies.
Yeah I prefer that myself.
I mean, yes I want it but let's be real, he's only doing it because Zimmer hasn't stopped working on it since the first movie.
The only good Dune book is the first book. So it will be interesting to see how this turns out.
Spoken like someone who didn't read Heretics and Chapterhouse. Those are definitely the most movie-adaptable of the entire series. Perfect balance between action, philosophy and sex for a great movie or series.
I look forward to seeing the CGI worm body with Timothy Chalmet’s head atop it.
movies are frequently tweaked from books they are based on, so that doesn't matter too much.
I might have enjoyed Children of Dune more than the first, but yeah the rest weren't great IMO, not sure how Denis is gonna work with Messiah, I really struggled with that book.
The first book is the best but God Emperor of Dune is really good. Chapter House would make a great movie as well.
Children of Dune is imo the worst of the Frank Herbert Dune books. That's going to be tough to adapt well.
We wants it, my precious! Give us the spice, we wants it!
after that disaster he called dune 2? will holywood ever stop raping and killing good books by turning them into these low quality CG promos?
I hope Denis just keeps doing what he is good at, move over Waititi, I gots me a new fav director.
After reading these comments, I have reached an important conclusion: Dune fans are like Watchmen fans; they only know how to be upset with what they're given and will always be unhappy, even if what they got will go down in history as some of the best content on the screen of all time.
Thanks, Denis!
Somebody spoiled the ending of the books for me but I'm excited to see how the trilogy wraps up nevertheless
