It did have a budget of mere 165 million, so of they didn't overspend on marketing, it actually might have broken even.
Another failed attempt at an adaptation, how long before someone else tries?
"American Dream" lol, who could come up with something so trite. Almost sounds like it was designed to continually 'fail'.
>Another
The only failed attempt so far, actually. Unless you count those that never got made at all, like Jodorowsky's.
>the American dream is a consoomer white picket home with 2.3 children and a dog
Remember when the American dream was escaping the old world and owning what you earn in the new world?
I hate this post-post-modernism where you're just watching references and creative bankruptcy.
stuff like sets are a huge production cost, the project was greenlit for 2 movies from the get-go
Marketing for these types of movies easily exceeds $100 million.
It doesn't really matter how much it made, they set out to make 3 films.
They aren't going to give up now just because the first one ONLY net them 200 million. It would have had to absolutely bomb for them to not keep going.

this one will be the last one
There are possible plans for Dune Messiah.
Denis Villeneuve said he plans on taking a break to work on another movie before starting it.
It appears that his initial intentions revolved around creating a Cleopatra film. However, Paramount has now unveiled their own Cleopatra project starring Gal Gadot. Consequently, the likelihood of two separate studios producing distinct Cleopatra movies seems rather slender.
If that's the case, it's probable that he will promptly shift his focus towards commencing work on Dune Messiah.
What I heard was they're open to Messiah in 10 years. As that story takes place 10 years after the original story it gives the actors time to age naturally.
Thr box office for part 1 is misleading due to the Day and date release on streaming. Part two will do well but won't be a run away hit.
messiah was confirmed, it's short enough for the third movie
>was the 400 million box-office really enough to warrant a sequel?
No, but they made the decision to greenlight it long before it even released. They announced part 2 when part 1 had only been out half a week (and after severly underperforming in Europe). And decisions like that aren't made within a day or two.
Part 2 was approved and planned from the start.
They were originally planning on filming both movies at the same time similar to what was done with Lord of the rings. Covid fricked that up for them. They also shrugged off the and their performing box office results again due to Covid.
Honestly, Dune part one was great. Frick all the edge lords on Cinemaphile who think otherwise.
Zendaya should never have gotten casted but that's a modern Hollywood problem, not the film.
>Dune part one was great.
Kek. Villeneuvedrone spotted.
I can think of like 3 scenes from the book that didn't make it to the movie. It's a great adaptation.
>I can think of like 3 scenes from the book that didn't make it to the movie.
Maybe you need to reread the book.
Or maybe you need to get past "muh plotpoints" and actually start thinking about what these plotpoints actually mean for the story, and what character backgrounds are for.
Sure, give us a few yourself. Give us the themes of the book, and the specific scenes that were used to support those themes but didn’t make it into the film in any way.
nta, but the stakes of part 1 should have been entirely focused on the Trap of Arrakis. Yes, it was kind of about that, but Dennis never really conveyed the significance of what was happening, and it all started with the gom jabbar scene.
>an animal caught in a trap will gnaw off its own leg to survive. What will you do?
It's not just a test of mental fortitude and pain endurance, it's about thinking several moves ahead and sacrificing something smaller to achieve something greater. An animal will chew its leg off to survive. A human will stay in the trap and play dead, for the chance at killing the hunter who laid it. Dennis doesn't include the lines from the book that make this theme explicit, so it just come across like an endurance test. Without a good Gom Jabbar scene to set the thematic foundation of the story, the rest of the plot feels adrift. The Atreides just seem doomed from the start and they're just going through the motions before their inevitable defeat.
What the movie should have shown was a confident, determined Atreides, with an intentional plan to take the bait of Arrakis, then defeat the impending Harkonnen attack. It needs to look winnable! The drama should come from the paranoia about a potential traitor and consolidation of power as they prepare against expected Harkonnen battle plans. In the book, Thuffir sends a strike team to a Harkonnen planet to sabotage Spice stockpiles and he takes countermeasures against similar acts of sabotage and assassination from the Harks. That's the scale of war they were expecting. Their situation looked challenging, but winnable! When the Harkonnen show up with a blitzkrieg planetary invasion force, the atreides are blindsided because that was something outside the realm of their logical forecasts. The greedy Harkonnens had just spent 80 years accumulating an enormous fortune from mining spice, and then they spent literally ALL of it paying the Guild to transport their invasion forces.
You are wasting your time. Mostly it's the same samegay strangely obsessed with Villanova in a board obsessed with capeshit.
Casting was questionable, the movie was excellent. Also the theatre experience was great, these morons watch shit on camrip to then gat their opinion from some youtube grifter, they don't actually WATCH the movie.
yeah, dune 2021 is definitely worth the trip to the kinoplex
Now everyone knows it's boring so nobody will watch part 2.
>boring
B-but, anon ... part 2 will have lots of action scenes like webm related!
Looks like a marvel movie
Marvel flicks aren't that desaturated though.
See, that's what makes DUNC artistic: It looks drab and depressing. Not like those other blockbusters.
>Marvel flicks aren't that desaturated though.
>See, that's what makes DUNC artistic: It looks drab and depressing. Not like those other blockbusters.
>It looks drab and depressing.
They should have made the bristles blue so that the the mouth looks like a blue iris, thus highlighting the worms' relationship with the Spice (and also making it look less like a gaping anus). Huge wasted opportunity.
They're supposed to have an inner fire; could've been easy to add, but w/e I guess right Dennis?
>They're supposed to have an inner fire
That explains why Villeneuve cannot relate to them: He only has a dark black void inside him.
1000 hours MSPaint, dennis-gays in shambles
I know it’s a copypasta but I still unironically think this would’ve been really cool
>every action scene looks like a marvel movie
No it doesn't because they aren't making jokes to each other as they casually kill people.
whoa dude it's like Aria Stark
Aria is a top, while he is very much a bottom.
H-HE'S FAST!
Knife fights without blood, something for the whole family.
A clever fight choreographer would stage thr combat so those that the fremen kill die relatively bloodlessly, as the fremen deliberately try to minimize bloodloss of their victims to preserve water for extraction. Meanwhile, those slain by Sardaukar go down in bug geysers of blood; the terror troops don't care about reclaiming water, their goals are simply to kill and intimidate.

I just want a nice God Emperor adaptation. It seems too much to ask.
We shall see. I want it as well.
Movies being stuck on a perpetuum loop of only adapting the first book, or even worse: Needing to adapt the first book while cramming in later elements to adapt them to the big screen.... Its a sadness of no end. And fundamentally means you can not expect Cinema to deliver in the first place.
>Villeneuve
Villeneuve understands that he might not be the true master of the art, but he do understand that proper usage of symbolism or the art of film making can pad or even fix a faulty end product of cinema.
>but he do understand that proper usage of symbolism or the art of film making can pad or even fix a faulty end product of cinema.
Villeneuve "do understand" filmmaking about as much as you understand English grammar.
is leto ii a cuck?
Dune the book definitely deserves three 2-hour movies, sadly, this won't happen again after the slop that was Hobbit.
hobbit movies are great
bro they're bloated trash
the fanedit that cuts them all down to about 55% of the total length is much better, but still has problems inherent to the originals, the largest being that Smaug isn't enough of a focus and everything drags after that point
I watched Battle of Five Armies this weekend for the first time in a while and frick me it's so bad.
>cringe dialog
>cringe acting
>CGI everything
>awful battle scenes where fully armoured orcs are dieing due to being slashed across their plate armor
A 250 page book turned into 9+ hours of CGI garbage. It spits in the face of LOTR.
It deserves a TV show on HBO quality.
Same, idk if we'll ever get it.
Why have a lead actor who cannot act? Do wimminz and gayz fancy him of something? Why is the love interest ugly? Why is it so boring? Why does it look so drab? Maybe the book is a bad one because the whole setup is rather stupid. It is like Lord of the Rings in space without an engaging plot.
>Maybe the book is a bad one because the whole setup is rather stupid.
The book is actually pretty good. And so are the 1984 film, the SyFy miniseries and the porn game.
>Why have a lead actor who cannot act? Do wimminz and gayz fancy him of something?
He's israeli. When it first came out there were articles like "whoa israelites are cool now too!" and "jews are the new superheroes!"
Part one is supposed to be boring because it's the setup for part two.
Just like how Fellowship of the Rings was the setup for Two Towers.
Lots of people who I convinced into watching the first Lord of the Rings movie, thought it was boring af.
the books are old, what was fun and exciting in 1970 is very much different from today
part 2 isn't much better
You're both morons. Part 1 was a great adoption of the book. You found both the movie and book boring because your room temperature IQ brains can't pay attention to a plot unless it involves sex scenes and explosions.
Thankfully, George Lucas ripped off Dune and added that shit to cater for Black folk like you.
Doubt they'll wait ten years. Who knows what will happen or if the actors are still capable of playing their roles. Timothée Chalamet might very well OD or be referred to as she/her.
>Part 1 was a great adoption of the book.
Frick off, shill. Villeneuve didn't understand the book and his adaptation (not "adoption", moron) is laughably bad, both as an adapation and as a film.
Suck my dick. It was perfect.
If you don't like it, go watch the David Lynch version with Sting and internal monologues.
Sting should reprise his role. Would be kino.
>It was perfect.
Shiteaters like you is why we don't get good films anymore.
>Implying the 80s film, resembling a Bon Jovi's concert, is good.
You sound like a woman.
Kneel on the ground, open your mouth, and suck my dick.

From that, you extrapolated your "opinion" with no basis on reality. This is why you cannot articulate it.

Agreed, i was disappointed, the movie is more like a picture book to illustrate the book than a movie, if I hadn't read the book i feel like half of the plot would have flown past my head. Although i am not surprised it was successful since the average watcher has shit taste and just needs epic visual, actors they recognize and le hans zimmer atmospheric loid "music". Although Lynch's dune is shit too for different reasons
>half the plot might have flown over my head
What exactly are you talking about? I kept hearing this criticism and I’ve suspected for awhile it’s just parroted behavior. When the film came out everyone kept saying “they didn’t explain the mentats in enough detail!” when even my sister, who is sci-fi illiterate got what was going on pretty much immediately. The guy is a human calculator, rich families have human calculators.. what more do you need to know at this point? Just because you expected exposition about shit like how horrible the Harkonnens are doesn’t mean the spider thing didn’t get the message across in a very economical and obvious way. I don’t get it, pls explain to the class what you mean.
Not that guy but: try watching some Dune reaction videos on yt and you'll see, I grant that it's a v.low bar tho.
>doesn’t mean the spider thing didn’t get the message across in a very economical and obvious way.
Kek. The "spider thing" was Vileneuf trying to preempt criticism that his film looks uninspired and shallow compared to Lynch's by going all "see, I can have weird and creepy creatures too!" without any substance behind it. Only literal morons like you fall for that shit.
So you can’t articulate an actual critique and ARE just parroting complaints. When did everyone become such consoooomers? People have emotional reactions to not liking a product and can’t even explain why. Fricking shameful
>Kek. The "spider thing" was Vileneuf trying to preempt criticism that his film looks uninspired and shallow compared to Lynch's
You have a very high opinion or how much people care of what subhumans like you think.
These people are genuinely moronic. Even if you spell things out for them they'll be incapable of understanding.
Literally no one who only knows Dune through DUNC understood Yueh's motivations and backstory. Not one single person.
>What exactly are you talking about?
Everything conserning the main plot, woldbuilding or character motivations. Take the most basic questions, anyone with a brain would ask, while watching DUNC, that would be left unanswered, like
>Why is the emperor opposed to the Atreides in the first place?
>Did Leto know he's walking into a trap and if he did, why did he do it willingly, what was his plan?
>Paul saw the future (much earlier than in the book), why didn't he warn everyone of the upcoming attack?
>why is everyone fighting with knives, when there are laser weapons, which even shields can't protect you from? Nothing bad would happen if shoot someone with a shield, right? Duncan's shielded ornithopter was shot at several times by lasers, while he was flying in the epicenter of the battle
All of these are answered in the moviestho, just not through blatant exposition, you silly zoomzoom
>All of these are answered in the movies
Then you surely can easily provide timestamps for each of these questions answered
>not through blatant exposition
He said about the flick where the first 5 minutes are the blatant exposition dump, where Zendaya talks to the viewer
Another thing that bothered me is that the place where the Atreides live on Arrakis is supposed to be a spaceport city where people live, where there is commerce, smugglers, etc. We don't see any of that, it didn't feel alive at all but very empty. Omitting the diner scene didn't help.
this sort of thing is why Dune is ill-suited to movie format to begin with
we don't get a sense of Caladan as a lush paradise planet either, or the gravity of Castle Atreides being the seat of their family's power on it for 26 generations and thereby what a big deal it is that they're moving to Arrakis permanently
>it wasn’t like muh book
>it didn’t give me the same exact senses and experience as muh book
Adaptations are not replacements. If you want the same experience just read the book in the medium it was intended by the original author. An adaptation gives a unique perspective on a theme or essence of the original work, we watch them to get someone else’s take on the story, and to use the new medium (in this case film) to reveal aspects of the theme in a unique way.. ones that couldn’t be done in the old medium.
Film adaptations aren’t made to give you the exact same thing as the book but in an easier to consooom way. Stop being such a pleb. Copying exactly between mediums is exactly the type of thing that makes an adaptation soulless.
oh please, homosexual. There isn't enough of a contrast between Caladan and anywhere else: Caladan is dark and rocky and mostly lifeless in the film, underscored by the fact that there is a scene with Duke Leto and Paul in a damn graveyard. An 'adaptation' that discards almost all the ideas, symbolism, and references of the book, and in the case of Kynes is outright disrespect and subversion, can hardly be called an 'adaptation' at all—it's a film wearing Dune as a skinsuit
Let me guess, you think it’s “a slap in the face to the fans!”
“We want the same thing again!”
“I’m insulted I didn’t get what I wanted!”
Unfathomably Reddit. Go back there to consoooom, I cannot imagine having an emotional reaction to not liking a product.
instead of defending against any of these criticisms, you have instead opted to say
>you're complaining, and uh...that makes you Reddit!
truly brilliant insight and trenchant analysis. 10/10
don't you have a troony discord to moderate? you have to go back
I don't think it was bad as a movie, but you're right that it is a terrible adaptation and that the filmmakers didn't understand the book
of course, 'not bad' doesn't mean 'great'; specifically, the film rushes through plot beats while simultaneously being too light on the characterization of many characters (I would imagine it's hard for someone totally new to Dune to have any feeling about Yueh's betrayal or Yueh's motivations for it), Gurney has next to no lines and there's nothing strictly in the film that gives us much of a sense of his personality (he doesn't even have an association with music as he does in the book, and there's only the barest hint of one with scripture (kept out so as not to offend anyone's religious sensibilities, no doubt, and that cowardice rankles).
Similarly, there is very little sense of Hawat as a person or that he has much of an internal world outside of his function as a mentat. Kynes should never have been race and sex swapped (and his last scene was ruined), and the actress who plays Kynes is singularly the worst in the film.
The score and sound design is top-notch although the score is occasionally too overbearing in its constant presence. The visual design is mostly excellent as well outside of the muh empty brutalist Villememe architecture and the fact that too much of the film is too dark and too monochromatic.
I liked Chalamet as Paul (and I don't really understand why some others don't), Bardem as Stilgar, Skarsgard as the Baron, Isaac as Leto; they were definitely the bright spots in the casting.
>The visual design is mostly excellent as well
The visual design is completely unispired. The costuming, for example, just is pick-and-choosing from all kinds of different Earth cultures at random, plus generic military uniforms, plus generic 3D-printed armor.
The Baron looks as bland as he's written.
50% of all scenes are not only a desaturated mess of orange and teal tones, but also covered in clouds of dust and sand.
And the cinematography, all things considered, is just incompetent. That's what happens when you only have the almost-square image screen in mind that no one can see in its entirety and that's only good for making things appear HUGE. That's what everything in DUNC is: Giantism. An empty spectacle to impress the cinematically inept masses.
>pick-and-choosing from all kinds of different Earth cultures at random
this isn't really a problem; it's gotta come from somewhere.
>The Baron looks as bland as he's written.
The oil bath bit was well-designed and perfectly thematic. The prosthetic makeup is good. In other instances, 'the design is good but it's too dark/too monochromatic', one or both of which is true for absolutely everyone in the movie
>50% of all scenes are not only a desaturated mess of orange and teal tones
I already said this; it's true and I agree with it; setting that aside, the physical design of objects, thopters, the photography of Arrakis's landscapes are generally very good, with the exception of, as you note,
>generic 3D-printed armor
which does look pretty low-rent.
It seems silly to repeat because we all agree, but yes, the use of color was incompetent in the film
>it's gotta come from somewhere.
Not really. Or at least not as blatantly.
>The oil bath bit was well-designed and perfectly thematic.
No. The baron is supposed to be a maniac. And an egomaniac. Violent, crazy, outwardly disgusting. Not a Bond villain parody.
>The baron is supposed to be a maniac. And an egomaniac. Violent, crazy
go reread the book. pay attention to the scene with the Baron, Piter and Feyd, and the Baron's conversation with Fenring. Consider his comments about addiction, about costs, about wealth, about the accounting of his CHOAM directorship. Consider how he lies and dissembles and manipulates and plots. He is a ruthless, disgusting egomaniac, but he's not unhinged or crazy—he's a sociopathic cynic, always hungry for more of everything.
The oil bath is a great visual analogy: the spice is an analogue of oil, which is energy, which is wealth, and is what makes complex society possible—it's an addiction that neither we nor they can live without, and so him being submerged in it is thoroughly appropriate. Spice/oil/wealth also makes all manner of luxuries possible that cannot exist without it, and the bath is both a luxury and a sensual pleasure, the indulgence of which the Baron is known for.
Baron is also a literal pederast rapist who fricks little unconscious boys that look like Paul.
An interesting element in the book was how the Baron viewed addiction in his subordinates. How a weakness could be used to control the man; utterly cynical, personal virtue, cultivated or otherwise, doesn't exist in his mind. Contra: Atreides.
Very true. All of the Barons subordinates were addicted to *something*. Even when it was an expensive addiction, as in the case of Piter and his spice habit, the Baron preferred it to having someone be cheap and clean.
>Consider how he lies and dissembles and manipulates and plots.
>not unhinged or crazy
Being crazy doesn't mean you cannot be clever.
>the spice is an analogue of oil
And that makes oil somehow a metaphor for spice? That's not how it works. But it might be how Villeuve's brain works.
the crazy one here is you—the baron is rational, sane, and calculating, which stand in direct contrast to any notion that he is 'crazy'. he just happens to be evil and without a conscience
Are you American or something? Why do you think being being rational and calculating equates to being sane?
>Are you American or something?
NTA but this type of third-worlder seething never stops to be amusing.
>Europe and Asia are the third world
Yeah, you are American. I'll never get how anyone can takle pride in being uncultured and uneducated.

>and the actress who plays Kynes is singularly the worst in the film.
Kek, I loved seeing the redditors bend over backwards to defend that casting choice and about how heckin "fierce" she looks and all that bollock. She had zero fricking screen presence in the film and she was also the most annoying aspect of original series of Top Boy too.
>Timothée Chalamet might very well OD or be referred to as she/her.
Timmy is a beautiful healthy virile man
Is this part of his Hollywood humiliation ritual?
No, it's part of being a zoomer.
The argument could be made that Paul can be viewed as a hermaphrodidic character. He was destined to be born as a female, but Jessica disobeyed the Bene Gesserit and changed his sex to male. Even still, Paul undergoes a female initiation with the WoL which unlocks hos ancestral memories.
>ancestral memories
all of them yes. Where as the BG can only see the female side.
One could argue that the BG could not fully take part in a male ritual - a ritual only an exceptional man could endure.
Great Man of History theory - T. Carlyle, etc
>Part 1 was a great adoption of the book
In the book the Freman talk of Liet and they have no fricking idea who the frick Liet is. They act like "hmm is Liet some kind of God to them?" until it's revealed that it's Kynes. In the movie it's "Yo sup I'm Liet Kynes".
I like the movie, but this and the frickery with Hawat, not including the banquet scene... They frick with the story.
>Maybe the book is a bad one
The book is amazing especially considering it came out in the 60's. Get cultured, homie.
Talentless israeliteface is obviously a vehicle for money laundering.
Perhaps human trafficking and organ harvesting too.
It's better than 99.9% of the other dog shit that's coming out, who the frick cares if it was only a minor success instead of a major one? have a nice day moron
>It's better than 99.9% of the other dog shit that's coming out
It's on the same level as most of the current capeshit and Disney wars
>who the frick cares if it was only a minor success
Losing money for the studio can't be considered a success by any stretch of that word, you coping tourist scum
No but they have nothing else and they already paid for the rights anyway.
>they were clever to hide the "part one" part from the title
Going in, I didn't realize it was only part 1 of 2. It was not billed as that, so I demanded half my money back.
Given it's box office, WB should have too.
Why did this movie have no end? Fricking bullshit to edit it in such a manner that there's not even a semblance of conclusion.
>Made 2.5x its budget while released simultaneously on streaming
>On said streaming it performed very well, beating Snyder Cut which was streaming exclusive
Yes it was a big success, especially considering Dune has never been a mainstream property
The budget is even lower because they get tax cuts from Jordan, Dubai and Budapest
how can this movie still make people seethe?
People care about Dune.
Villeneuve does not.
It's that easy.
nah, its an autism test. those who can't let go are tists.
Because Villeneuve refuse to use Midjourney-esque design found in Jodorowsky and Lynch's adaptation
so it's sentient bots seething because "ai" got frick all to do with vilanova movie? actually makes sense.
we need a jihad against these machines.
>he still seethes that even a shitty soulless AI prompt can be more creative, original and closer to the book than plebbit's favourite director
Imagine the seethe AI would generate in a few years, if even in it's current state it can absolutely mog le acclaimed visionary, while mindbroking his dicksuckers
Because some youtuber told them the movie with the weirding modules hated by its own director is the good one and the one true to the book.
can't wait for black Alia, black Leto II and black Ghanima
Also I wanted to point out something, about the Bene Gesserit, I see here and there that the influence for this was the Jesuits, but I think that the real influence was the B'naï B'rith.
I just want to see Timmy in IMAX
He has the right 'look' in the face, but everything else is gey
This movie is a disaster, you have nothing to talk about except for the bad aspects, wich are the majority of the movie's components, absolute failure. The second part will be as shitty as the first one. Such a waste.
bagpipes in dune was a disappointing moment. what the frick viellememe?
The bad numbers were due to Covid.
>The bad numbers were due to Covid.
How come only DUNC was affected and not such masterpieces as ... Godzilla vs Kong or Fasts and the Furious 9?
WB had the brilliant idea of releasing it in both theatres and streaming at the same time.
Most people obviously watched it from home.
Fast and Godzilla vs Kong are Black person tier movies. They made a shit ton of money in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Those movies will make money regardless.
>Most people obviously watched it from home.
Any proof for that?
No, streaming platforms never release data.
However, it seems that practically everyone watched Dune. Just look at the response to part two.
It's only normal to assume everyone watched it from their home if it was available on day one via streaming.
The very fact that they made part two is proof that it was well received via streaming.
>it seems that practically everyone watched Dune
Spend less time online, anon.
Except part 1 was release during lockdown and hit streaming right away. Part 2 will make more
>Dunc
>the family atomics... blew up the shield wall?
I think the overwhelmingly positive response from critics and general audiences coupled with the potential for sequels were enough to make this worth pursuing. Even with DVD sales gone, having an acclaimed film in your portfolio and then extending that into a series naturally (i.e. not adding more sequels after 20 years) is really lucrative these days, even if it's just streaming rights. There are still many people who collect films (or vidya, for that matter), they just switched to their preferred digital platforms.
The Oscars helped.
They gave the movie some kind of "pedigree". While studios always go for making profits with these type of movies, getting some prestige from these movies is also important.
I think is called added value.

The same pedigree as EEAOT?
Ever since Bohemian Rhapsody got that editing Oscar, not even normalgays take those awards seriously anymore.
Studios are delusional.
For the normal audience Oscars don't matter anymore, but for studios still do.
For studios (and producers, directors, actors, etc.) it's just an opportunity to pat their own backs. They're behind the rigging, they know the best how the game is played. They just pretend to take them seriously because they don't want them to lose the last bit of public credibility they might have left.
