I'm not sure what another Dune film could offer over the movie+miniseries. Jamming the book into 1.5 hours is hard.

TV show maybe? 6-12 1 hour episodes per book?

 

I think these deals are more about securing IP, and they may not have to do anything with it.

So far Legendary bought the rights, and there's talk of possible Denis Villeneuve being considered for directing.

If they take Denis Villeneuve, Id think they're leaning towards Movie, because that's all he's ever done. At this point there is very little to go on, seems like they're in Pre-Production if anything at all. From the few movies I've seen from Villeneuve he's definitely competent. I guess we could expect a very adult Dune. I've only seen Prisoners and Enemy, their weren't your typical Hollywood flick. Guess I'll get a better idea when I see Arrival and the Blade Runner 2047 (reluctantly, don't get me started on Blade Runner, its a whole other topic), those movies are more the big blockbuster type.

ps. - who knows we might get a rebirth in video games, as long as it's not a movie tie in piece of crap.

Video game?  I'm hoping for a killer soundtrack, comfortably  scored by Pink Floyd.

Wellllll that's odd.

This is the first time I hear or seen someone sign another authors book... would I get a Dune book signed by Mark Hamil ? Just doesn't feel right.

Also - she's selling this merchandise as if it were hers, I'm guessing it's legal if your a store or have a shop. Don't know just feels strange. She might be cute with pink hair, but this clip made me cringe.

Wow I would be amazed if this actually takes off. The mini series were probably the best screen rendition of Dune but if I recall they were a relative commercial flop. I can imagine studios being cautious with it. Or even worse playing up the young Paul and making it a YA movie. Oh god.

I don't think the miniseries were a flop. I remember they had the highest viewer rate on that channel (scifi) at that point.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Herbert's_Dune

A 2003 sequel miniseries called Frank Herbert's Children of Dune continued the story, adapting the second and third novels in the series (1969's Dune Messiah and its 1976 sequel Children of Dune). As of 2004, both miniseries were two of the three highest-rated programs ever to be broadcast on the Sci Fi Channel.[2]

Frank Herbert's Dune won two Emmy Awards in 2001 for cinematography and visual effects in a miniseries/movie, as well as being nominated for a third Emmy for sound editing. The series was also praised by several critics, including Kim Newman.[3]

Arnoldo_Fayne ‏@Arnoldo_Fayne Is it going to be split up into 3 parts like the LoTR series? Possibly a 4th film being a prequel based on PoD?

 

 

If they do the split up I feel the the audience for a modern era would be more receptive. Still, though, there will be some members who complain they don't know the backstory but I feel the general majority will appreciate the opportunity to have it split up to catch them up more easily.

 

The only negative concerns I would have is if the people who are viewing the movie and watched the 80's and later 2000's version will view the movie was just a simple reboot without much future focus.

 

But, either way, I am excited to see this be developed and produced. :)

11/20/2020 is the official release date for the Dune movie reboot folks, and that's about a month before Avatar 2 is released.

It's gonna be a sci-fi battle during the Holiday 2020 season.

Could this be early concept art for the upcoming Dune movie? Could it be for the Ornithopter? Apparently it was found in the portfolio profile of one of the concept artists working on the movie, Kamen Anev. Someone has mentioned that it's a couple of years old though:

They later announced that Avatar 2 will be pushed back to December 2021.

Dune is pushed back a month to December 2020.

So.... any progress on this?

Because South Park suddenly made an episode about spice...
Seems their opinion about it is, shit.

Watch on your own risk:

Don't worry about South Park they just playin. Mad Magazine spoofed Dune first. Instead of the spice it was the booze, instead of your eyes glowing blue they're bloodshot red, lol.

The progress being made on the new Dune movie looks promising. The cast and crew seem confidant. They're so confident that apparently there's already a sequel in development lol. There's also a TV show tie in to the movie, and it;s about the Bene Gesserit.

Just to note Dune's release to theaters is still set for Dec. 18, 2020.

I have really good feeling about this film, based on Villeneuve's other work.  Hopefully, we'll get to the point a few years time, where we're finally seeing a film portrayal of the God Emperor.
