Since we're Roku people and are not going to go see anything in a theater until the vaccine is widespread among the general populace, I'm with Villenueve here. I was hoping this would be a cool date night movie to see with my wife on a nice big screen and instead it's going to be a fart in a hurricane like every other big tentpole released during quarantine. Fuck Warner.

I'm confused, isn't that still happening? The current plan is a simultaneous release in theatres and HBO Max. I think Villeneuve's saying it should be theatres only, but he's arguing as though it won't be shown in theatres at all.
His argument is about getting the second one made - by dual releasing it in October, the box office numbers are going to be smaller than they would otherwise be, because HBOMax revenue just for Dune isn't really quantifiable (and given studio shenanigans they will almost certainly downplay its value there). His fear that it will be treated as a flop which will then mean there's no Dune II: The Duning.

xp in my way, you at least get to see the movie. it doesn't feel as good, though.

I am very much looking forward to #Dune.But the combination of this character name and that poster makes it look like a Nicholas Sparks adaptation about a salt-of-the-earth tractor repair man who has yet to figure out the mysteries of the human heart. https://t.co/qo5ejsaEms— Darren Mooney (@Darren_Mooney) July 19, 2021

this looks good enough to me though. seems like they might have successfully threaded the needle re:depicting the tech & imagery described in the book faithfully without making it look completely ridiculous and camp

The best part of casting a not-fat, not-gay actor in a fat gay role is them talking about how arduous the process is. Did they have to wear a fat suit?! How awful! Did they have to flirt with a guy?! The indignity! pic.twitter.com/Fn0Q3N5ylY— Guy Branum (@guybranum) July 22, 2021

Has anyone ever seen Stellan Skarsgård make any facial expression besides the one in that photo? Share your testimony, if so.

Pretty sure I remember him doing that face at various points in Hunt for Red October thirty years back, so no.

io9 can exclusively reveal that the Oscar-winning composer of Dune (and a few dozen other iconic movies over the past 40 years) was so inspired when he looked at the upcoming behind-the-scenes book from Insight Editions, he decided to write some musical accompaniment. this is 100% horseshit right? zimmer has an entire stable of ghost composers that write practically everything

Hmm, could work. (Certainly there's shifts in POV in the second half of the book but I can't recall how many are Chani-centered?)
In a recent interview with La Repubblica (translated by IGN), Denis Villeneuve revealed Zendaya’s character, Chani, will be the primary protagonist of Dune Part II:I’m honoured to present on-screen two talents [Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya] that are so explosive, and I can’t wait to shoot the second part of Dune to get them back together. Knowing that in the next chapter Zendaya will be the protagonist of the story.

Dune seems to inspire some odd movie stuff, anyone remember that document they handed out in the lobby to help 'explain' things when the Lynch one came out?

Yes, I remember getting one of those when the movie came out
