Villeneuve's Dune: Part One (2019)

[Narkalui]

I believe in Denis Villeneuve

 

[Vince W]

Villeneuve has proven he can make quality films. The real question is will the audience recognise it?

 

[Rodders]

Yep. I will definitely go and see this at the cinema. I adored Blade Runner 2049.

It seems Jason Momoa has finished shooting his scenes as Duncan Idaho for Dune.

That's good. It gives Villeneuve plenty of time to recast and reshoot.

‘So finished Dune, joined Slayer’ could be the diary entry to win all!

Ive Been reading a bit more about the proposed films and seen pictures of the actors cast. They might just pull it off and give us a good film.

 

[Vince W]

We'll know in a little over 15 months.

 

[Rodders]

I think Dune should get it's own thread in the Featured Films section now.

Good luck to Villeneuve; this franchise is the Bermuda Triangle of books to film/tv. People's careers have disappeared trying to get that spice onto screen.

I second the motion.

I don't know how to search this thread....
Did anyone note that principal photography had finished on the first half of Dune , what about 2 months ago now?
Villeneuve had said , somewhere, that there would be, by contract, two Dune films to tell the story.
So this is a puzzle.
What if the 1st half of Villeneuve's Dune is great, best adaptation ever done, but flops at the box office?
Does that mean Legendary does not produce the 2nd half?

 

[Narkalui]

They owe us two films, if they don't we'll send the boys round!

Man! December 2020 is a long way off for a release date... it better make a bundle because it's gonna cost a lot to restart production in 2021.

I don't know where I saw it but Villeneuve only agreed to do the film if Legendary committed to both films regardless of the box office takings of the first.

I'd heard they'd finished filming, but I keep hoping they'll see sense and refilm any Duncan Idaho scenes with a new actor. Momoa is . Aqua(Awful)man confirmed this.

I really liked him as Conan

 

[Vince W]

You might be the only one.

 

[Narkalui]

I'll put it on a tee-shirt

"There can only be one, er... Conan?"

Arnold did a good job in the role.

What happen to the Conan tv series thye were talking about?

 

[Narkalui]

Conan The Adventurer? It was basically He-Man
