Mr.Cs Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Greetings, I recently read on various sites, that a new Dune movie is in development.http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/787995-legendary-dune-movie http://www.aceshowbiz.com/news/view/00102957.html and in Hungarian:http://sci-fi.mandiner.hu/cikk/20161122_uj_dune_film_johet_megvette_a_jogokat_a_legendary What do you think? Will be an another film adaptation in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 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.

Spectral Paladin Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 someone on youtube saying it was actually big news yesterday(?), but with no more details or evidence that anything is actually in the works, just more speculation: https://youtu.be/MDtTIKEWYTU?t=2m49s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdx Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) 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.

TaxOwlbear Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 IMO a miniseries would be best. I quite liked the 2000 miniseries, and if they have a decent budget, it could be a worthy adaptation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnoldo Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 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? Quote Brian Herbert @DuneAuthor 2h2 hours ago @Arnoldo_Fayne Legendary has not announced which of 19 books will be filmed first. I like your observation about size of material, + PoD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video game? I'm hoping for a killer soundtrack, comfortably scored by Pink Floyd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdx Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Well, so far I'm quite happy to hear this. Now I'll have to be patient, so very patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Paladin Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 So by the way, the girl in the video I linked above is hyping it up by making some sort of Dune reading club over the summer, as well as selling her own collector's edition of it. Some details here: https://youtu.be/7cHHTrRjghc?t=14m20s and on a previous vid of hers. I'm not affiliated in any way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdx Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/82yfm2/denis_villeneuve_says_at_rendezvous_québec_cinéma/ It will apparently be split into 2 films. That is good to hear. Because fitting it all into 1 would be difficult.

Khan Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 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] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zocom7 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houseplant Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) 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: https://twitter.com/SecretsOfDune/status/1088827732031623169 On 2/16/2019 at 7:37 AM, Zocom7 said: 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.

Gobalopper Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Hmm doesn't seem bird like enough to be an Ornithopter but if it is older art maybe that is the same thing his art director told him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X3M Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 So.... any progress on this? Because South Park suddenly made an episode about spice... Seems their opinion about it is, shit.

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. https://www.indiewire.com/gallery/dune-2020-explained-plot-cast-tv-spinoff/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
