The first Villeneuve's Dune film has just finished shooting...

Call me pessimistic, but there’s no fucking way you can fit dune into a 3 hour film. I’m fully aware they’re planning on splitting it into two separate films, but it’s such a huge risk if the first one doesn’t perform at the box office (which, let’s be honest, it won’t).

The only way this thing is going to make a profit is if they dumb it down to transformers-tier science fiction for the Chinese market, which defeats the entire purpose of Dune.

This is one of the few book series where a Game of Thrones style television adaptation actually makes sense because of the Machiavellian political aspects. Four seasons, ending with God Emperor. But they’re gonna fuck it up with a Hollywood blockbuster that will tarnish Villeneuve’s career.

Dune is the film equivalent of invading Russia in the middle of winter. Many have tired. All have failed.

>Villeneuve
at least they will be able to save time by not editing the movie at all and simply releasing the rough cut.

>Four seasons, ending with God Emperor
>This powindah refused to read Heretics and Chapterhouse, for Dur's sake.

Fuck this talentless piece of shit

he said he's making two movies, no?

Villeneuve couldn't squeeze the plot of an actual episode of the Transformers cartoon into a 3 hour film, we'll be lucky ifhe manages to have Paul's actor appear on screen and say a line within the first hour.

I literally address this in my post you fucking mongoloid. Except they might not even make the sequel if the first one bombs, which it probably will unless certain detrimental changes take place.

kek

I have no hopes and expactations. Hollywood can crash and burn for all I care.

based russian reference poster

I'll be seeing it in theater, DV has proved he can make an interesting looking films if nothing else

How come I get this feeling like I don’t care?

It will take 2 years right?

It also said that spice affected eyes were blue in blue almost black but I doubt they'll get that right

If it's anything like BR2049 I'll be seeing it in IMAX three times

They could've use those full eye contacts, the ones without whites.

Supposedly it's 2020, but I predict development hell and endless delays, and I also don't think the sequel will ever get made.

>You fucking suck Brian Herbert
there's a hilarious introduction by him for the edition of dune I have where he freely admits that his dad mocked his shitty attempts at writing, covered one page of it with red corrections and told him to get his shit together. I firmly believe his master plan is to ruin his dad's legacy in revenge.

Oh no, is Brian involved?

>Villeneuv
such a fucking hack desu he makes me angry. this is how people who lived during prime godard must have felt

I hope there will be some baliset kino with Gurney (josh brolin)

It's not a long book, 300 pages tops if I remember. That could easily be made into two 3ish hour movies.
ASOIAF isn't a good comparison since it hasn't had a book under 800 pages, and has way more viewpoints covered in it than Dune.

>director known for his efficiency, finishes filming in 129 days flats
>never had a film delayed, flawless track record
yeah, you're a retard, and your opinion is double retarded and based on nothing.

the first book is 794 pages not including the encyclopedia shit

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_(novel)
just looked it up, 412 pages.
so not a short novel, but definitely not ASOIAF tier.

well i literally have it in my hands so not sure why it says 412

There's no way a movie about space Muslims is going to avoid getting pozzed in the current year. They missed the window of opportunity for this one.

>Oh no, is Brian involved?
he's a producer on it but it's unclear how much actual say he has/had. the tv-show spin-offs are based on his shitty prequel books so maybe that's the trade-off he demanded for the movie rights.

original hardcover was 412 pages. smaller paperback editions obviously increase page count.

>There's no way a movie about space Muslims is going to avoid getting pozzed in the current year.
the space muslims are the good guys though and the villain is a fat white male ginger. it ticks all the correct boxes of current year wokeness.

The Fremen being "space Muslims" is a low iq take based on the desert setting and the use of the word jihad for some events in the novels, ie. the Butlerian Jihad.
Herbert's take on religion in Dune was purposely synchretistic, and he himself said he was more influenced by Zen Buddhism than anything else.

This movie will be a mistake and trigger every shitty keyboard warrior on the internet. Not because it will be bad (at this point there is no telling anyway) but because of the story itself.

>a tv adaptation makes sense
you know they did this, right?

My opinion is based on the fact that everyone who has tried to adapt Dune has failed miserably

never heard of this before, but im looking forward to it. im the guy in my area who stands up in the middle of movies, cracks a joke, and leaves. usually i get a laugh. sometimes people tell me to sit down. ive been doing it for about 26 years and im sort of a local legend. im thinking maybe for this one i'll stand up and say "that's it! im dune with this movie!" and walk out. will test it out with family and friends to see how it plays. thanks for letting me know about this. cheers.

>i hate mooslims
>i love dune though i want to be in dune life

The book manages to tick those boxes without coming across as "woke" but the chance a 2019 movie adaptation will be able to are slim.

I think you're missing the point.

There's a racial and eugenic component to this, though

did you read the book lol. look up the Madhi and shit

*mahdi. m'ahdib

again, low iq superficial take based on a couple borrowed words

>He remained silent, thinking like the seed he was, thinking with the race consciousness he had first experienced as terrible purpose. He found that he no longer could hate the Bene Gesserit or the Emperor or even the Harkonnens. They were all caught up in the need of their race to renew its scattered inheritance, to cross and mingle and infuse their bloodlines in a great new pooling of genes. And the race knew only one sure way for this--the ancient way, the tried and certain way that rolled over everything in its path: jihad.
I mean, come on. This seems pretty fucking obvious to me.

based

Based.

I legitimately could not be more excited. I have never doubted Dennis for even a second.

A miniseries isn't the same thing

...I'm not sure what you're seeing as particularly Islamic about that passage besides the word jihad? Muslims didn't invent the concept of a holy war, in fact they were pretty damn late to the party. Also, everyone in the Dune universe practices eugenics, the Fremen, the Nobles Houses, the Bene Gesserit, everyone.

If anything that passage reeks of Zen mixed with Jung.

The Bene Gesserit could never exist in a muslim-based culture

They'd get stoned to death for practicing witchcraft

Guys the Fremen were obviously muslims, as seen during the spice induced orgy they had

This. He is our Muad'Dib.

Also this, kind of, Fremen were essentially a matriarchal culture.

You know guys, you don’t have to blow this middling director’s dick all day. Arrival was 3/5 and 2049 sucked. There are good directors you can go watch

>Arrival was 3/5
that's pretty generous if you ask me
Arrival for all the praise it got here was so fucking retarded imo it's just weird to see people calling it a sci-fi masterpiece etc
also Legendary pictures being behind this bullshit doesn't do it any good either so curb your expectations anons

Do their curved blades and rolling over everything in their path not conjure up any imagery from the various Muslim conquests? They occurred before the crusades, by the way.

>was so fucking retarded
you always know to ignore someone's opinion when they say stuff like this

fucking lmaoing@your life you subhuman. you haven't even read the books. the references and paralles to sandnigger donkey fucking mudslim mohammad dick suckers, including their rites is staggering.
read the fucking books first you mongoloid assbirth, before yo come here touting your asswipe bullshit. Zen Buddhism...in your fucking ass.

Reminder that Villeneuve is chad director who doesn't give a shit about feminists, that's why they mercilessly trashed BR2049 and Sicario.

who trashed Sicario lmao

Just finished reading the first "Dune" novel for the first time in my life.

Are the sequels worth reading, or should I just be content with reading the first one?

2049 was great your just a pleb

Who is doin the score? I hope it's not Zimmer or his drones.

read at least until god-emperor

Based true Herbert

God Emperor is one of the best books ever written

Not at all. With the exception of the largely ceremonial Reverend Mother and Sayyadina, their leadership positions are all male: the leaders of their sietchs, the wise men in council, local commanders over raiding group. Men often taken multiple wives, like Stilgar did.

Who cares. It's going to be dishonest bullshit.

Witches doesn't carry a negative connotation to the Fremen, they only call them that because they are mysterious

You have to be retarded to think more than 40 directors are worth following today, so looking forward to 40 movies (at fucking most, and only because koreeda shits out 2-3 a year) a year is more than enough
Villeneuve of course being one of the 40

It's not a matter if they will "get it right". It's easy to interpret the book literally. The real issue is is whether that description would actually look good on screen. The way your mind imagines a book is different from actually recreating that image in reality. A silver sky might not make sense in that respect

>value calmness,
The value poise, the ability to refrain from foolhardy, premature action.
>centeredness,
What?
>and living in harmony with environment,
They literally blew up a mountain with nukes. To get their revenge, they were fine with Paul threatening to kill the spice and worm. They're not nature-loving hippies. They're survivalists in a harsh land. They respect nature out of necessity.
>only violent in defense
That's what the revenge jihad that killed billions was about? Defense? Their most important traditions involved nurturing a murderous grudge. Come on, man.

Just go back to /pol/ fuckwit, literally nobody is interested in anything you have to say.
"Ceremonial"? That's reaching. Is the Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother a "ceremonial" position too? Either way, show me the equivalent "ceremonial" positions in Islam. There are none. Fremen culture was influenced by the Bene Gesserit from their pre-history to value the council of women specifically so they could have power when they returned to Arrakis.

Also, if the crysKNIVES resemble something in any religion, its Sikhism, which is essentially the anti-Islam.

I agree with you about the similarities between fremen and muslims being overblown.

this. it's basically stargate/lawrence of arabia in spaaaaace but with hundreds of pages of pseudophilosophical musings dropped here and there which slow down the progression of the plot to a tedious crawl

He's going to be a shit Paul, but I have no idea where they would find a good actor for that role.

From what I remember of my sparse reading of the book, the Kwisatz Haderach is supposed to see both into the male and female perceptions of the world, best of both worlds or something. Would they try and push some tranny shit with this angle?

>>Is the Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother a "ceremonial" position too?
>In fremen society, mosty, yeah.

it's functional. a reverend mother with knowledge of her past lives advises them on practical matters, and turns the water of life into the drug used in the sietch orgies. and probably instructs them in Bene Gesserit fighting techniques.

oddly enough i prefer Herbert's Consentiency stories. they'll never make a film out of this.

Dosadi Experiment is better than Dune and God Emperor, but no one seems to know it exists because Dune overshadows everything else Herbert wrote. Unfortunately, there's even more nonverbal communication in Dosadi than there is in Dune, so it will never get adapted.

how accurate was the the original Dune movie?
t. never read the books

Attached: 1522630219444.jpg (3516x2500, 302K)

It wasn't. The general plot was pretty close, but there were a ton of things altered or introduced, some for no obvious reason. Some characters like Fenring were droppde. The Baron was portrayed as a raging lunatic instead of a quieter psychopath, and wasn't nearly fat enough. The Emperor appears completely impotent, and the Guild is protrayed as more resourceful/intelligent than they are in the books. Chani had very little screentime, Idaho died way earlier than he did in the books, and due to time most characters had insufficient time. Up to the betrayal it mostly follows the books, though it misses the garden Lady Fenring leaves (because the Fenrings are cut) and the the dinner the Atreides host. After that everything proceeds at about triple the speed it should have. But the music is great.

thanks mate, might actually start reading the first book if its only 412 pages. Are the following books worth it as well?

Not him but just be warned that the book can feel slow to start as it builds the world around you but it's amazing once you're settled into it.

that's good. Love good world building

Typical faggot who thinks he has the same right as David Lynch to view Lynch's Dune as a failure

>orange = brown
kys

Someone already posted the recommendation, but it depends. If you like the first book, then read up to God Emperor. If you don't like unfinished series, stop there. Avoid anything written by his son. If you still want more after finishing the original Dune books, there's The Dosadi Experiment (which is similar to God Emperor thematically) and its prequel (which isn't very good, and which you don't need to read before Dosadi). The Destination: Void series is very different and hasn't aged as well, but it is probably the next best thing Herbert wrote after Dune/Dosadi. Lord of Light, by Zelazny, has already been recommended. If you want brainlet-tier versions of those, there's the Foundation series by Asimov, but End of Eternity (also by Asimov) is much shorter/better than Foundation. Other books you might like that have some similarities (but we're getting pretty far away from Dune) include The Forever War, Hyperion, and about half of Dick's books. More modern stuff would be Iain Banks, or (if you want to read an 80s B movie) Neal Asher, or (if you are a child or want to read a young adult novel marketed toward adults) Neal Stephenson.

>read the third book for a few sentences that are important in book 4

Fuck Lynch, imma dab on dat nigga

I was just going to read Dune before the movie comes out to have a better understanding but I very much appreciate the recommendations user. Added a few to my list

It's amazing to think that Dune isn't even out yet but it will define the next decade while also being the best movie ever made

Bumping this

I'm only a bit upset because it rules out the possibility of a Morrowind movie being made, because it would be too similar to Dune.

I don't see how this book can possibly be adapted to the screen. That's one of the things that makes it such a good book.

Villeneuve had the same absolute creative control just like with BR2049, it's not like now the post production is entirely to the studio. He still has his trusty editor Joe Walker editing with him and he is supervising everything until the last frame.
If anything he only gained more control in this project compared to his other projects, since he is also a co-writer of the script for Dune, which means he has control over absolutely every single department from the ground up (except marketing ofcourse)

Villeneuve is for better or worse one of the best active directors today.

BR2049 was excellent and very pleasing to the eye. I can't believe this is already finished. I'm stoked.

She'll have maximum 5 minutes of screentime in the entire film.

I hope this film touches more clearly on the fact the Fremen were manipulated over centuries to accept the Quizat haderach (paul) as their cult leader by the Bene gesserit and in reality the Fremen are the bad guys who go on to religiously cleanse the whole universe. I mean compared to that the Baron Harkonnen is a good guy because he just doesn't like the Atreidies very much (it appears with good reason)

>people who are shat on by the Baron (and a bunch of other people before him) and manipulated into being shock troops to butcher much of humanity are somehow worse than a pedophile sadist who is responsible for unleashing them and Leto II, because he is willing to risk upsetting the balance between the Lansraad and the Emperor, which could have been even worse than Leto's Golden Path, all to eliminate his rival who is his ethical, moral, and aesthetic superior
Great analysis, Irulan.
