Arthur Posted September 9, 2020 Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) UK release date: 18 December 2020 Feature adaptation of Frank Herbert's science fiction novel, about the son of a noble family entrusted with the protection of the most valuable asset and most vital element in the galaxy. www.imdb.com/title/tt1160419 Edited September 9, 2020 by Arthur
MartinT Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 It's going to be an epic. After Blade Runner 2049, I have high hopes for Villeneuve.
Arthur Posted October 21, 2021 Author Posted October 21, 2021 Sequel confirmed. 👍 https://deadline.com/2021/10/dune-matrix-sopranos-sequels-hbo-max-theatrical-model-1234859504 “Will we have a sequel to Dune? If you watch the movie you see how it ends. I think you pretty much know the answer to that,” WarnerMedia Studios and Networks Chair and CEO Ann Sarnoff told Deadline yesterday in a sit-down chat regarding the conglom’s full support of Dune 2. That will be welcome news to Legendary (which put up most of the budget) and filmmaker Denis Villeuneve, who has set the table for a second film that focuses on Zendaya’s Chani character as much as Timothee Chalamet’s Paul Atreidis character was the central focus in the first film. There has been some question, but not if you’ve seen Dune on a big screen. The last franchise launch with that much creative ambition and sequel potential was The Fellowship of the Rings.
tmoon-mint Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 I have tickets to see this tonight. Very excited
MartinT Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 I'm going to see it next week. Haven't been this excited since Blade Runner 2049 and that was epic.
Andrew_C Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 It is very good, and at about 2hrs, not over long. MrsC thought the fights over-played, probably aimed at the game market. The worm-guys(tm MiB) are good as are the other FX.. No Sting wandering around in his pants. All in all - good job!
Slarty66 Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 I saw it Saturday with my oldest boy, he's 15 and had no clue about the Dune universe. I've read most of the 16 books, I'm that much of a geek! He said it was brilliant. His sister saw it with a friend as well and said it was one of the best sci fi movies she has seen. They both can't wait for part two. As someone who's read Dune a lot it was excellent and really captured the books themes without over complicating the plot. I have a soft spot for the 1984 version but this is the definitive adaption. Hopefully if the movies are successful they make Dune Messiah and Children of Dune.
Theblacksheep Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 Stunning film. Took a bit of a straight line though the story and missed some interesting parts in the book, but pacing could have been off and they did a fantastic job of not letting it get bogged down. Villeneuve should get a free run on Dune-part 2 and Messiah for the initial trilogy.
Dos_Box Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 Off to see it tomorrow night, so far, everyone (inclusing those here) have said it's amazing and I'm very much looking forwards to it.
tmoon-mint Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 Off to see it tomorrow night, so far, everyone (inclusing those here) have said it's amazing and I'm very much looking forwards to it. It really is. You wont be disappointed.
Dos_Box Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 Saw it Tuesday night and was very impressed. Went to the late night showing (well, finished at just before midnight) and it was 2/3rds full and you could have heard a pin drop in the cinema it had everyone so engrossed. And space bagpipes! Only 2 years to the sequel!

MartinT Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 Saw the film on Friday. Absolutely epic, beautifully shot, well cast and quite faithful to the book. Two years to Part 2 is going to be a tough wait. 1
LeMarchand Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 Two years to Part 2 is going to be a tough wait. Could be worse: Part 2 was by no means a given initially.
MartinT Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 It would have been a tragedy had they not. After Arrival, Blade Runner 2049 and, now, Dune, Villeneuve is the new SF master.
RobD Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 Watched Dune on the weekend, really enjoyed it. The visuals were beautiful.
Dos_Box Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 I really want to watch Lawrence of Arabia again now!
6Foot2 Posted November 26, 2021 Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Edited November 26, 2021 by 6Foot2 Add another BLR video.
LeMarchand Posted December 6, 2021 Posted December 6, 2021 Amazon seem to have mispriced rentals. If you're quick you might be able to grab it for <£5.
