Have you watched Dune 2 yet?

[Kaladin]

Apparently it’s amazing

I might go to the movie theater for the first time since about 2018 or 2019 to watch it

 

[Fargo Husker]

Already have my tickets. Going Saturday night.

 

[Jim14510]

I have not. Did like the 1st (remake version).

 

[Fitzjess21]

Need to rewatch Dune 1. I got really fucked up the night I tried to watch it. Rang that ding bell though!

Like always they totally pussed out with the story as the author wrote it. I'll go see it but I know I'm going to hate what they did to the story.

Say his name! Frank Herbert.

I actually liked the first half of this installment, and I'm looking forward to seeing the second part on an iMax screen. Can't wait!

You very likely won't find a bigger reader of all the Dune books here. Not only the original 6, but all of the follow ups and pre-Dune books his son and collaborator did. I've read the original 6 at least a dozen times, am on God Emperor of Dune right now. I've read the others by his son several times also (well, the last/most current 3 only once so far, but the rest at least 3 times each). So I have a very good grasp of the complicated Dune universe and story lines Frank Herbert wrote.

I can't stand how directors and writers change books adapted to film. The first Dune remake that came out a couple years ago, just didn't catch the right vibe or feel of the book. I mean, it was a good show, but too many things are not as they were written. So I expect this current show will be similar. I am sure it will be good, but for me, it likely won't hit on what the book portrays well enough. Plus silly, nonsense changes like Kynes being a woman in the movie. Why?

But the female Kynes delivered one of the best lines of the remake movie.

I see both sides of the book adaptation faithful/creative arguments. I'm annoyed by some changes and I'm more forgiving with others. I basically think that if the director gives you something 90% faithful and does quality work then they've done a good job.

Ive only read the first book. Villenevue does a great job of building the world of Dune I think. Hes a great director (Sicario, Arrival, Prisoners). I hope he does a better job of portraying the real Chani (wood) in the second movie

Hard to beat the original. But I like his books.

I just know they are going to turn Paul into a selfless hero instead of what he is in the books.....WAY worse than those he deposes.

Because of the world destroying conquest and such? Love all the books. Frank Herbert is the GOAT of world building Sci-fi books. I thought the first movie was pretty good, and I'm curious to see what they do with the second half. I selfishly wish they would keep the serious going so we can see Duncan Idaho's character continue to evolve as it does in the books.

It’s comes out Friday so no….


…I have tix for Friday. Love the books

 

[KidsSeeGhosts]

I have not. Did like the 1st (remake version).

The David Lynch original is incomprehensible

I heard they will make a prequel series about the Bene Gesserit and I gotta say I'm pretty interested in that.
