Jay 37,370 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Well that's at least an original story using characters from a game, and not trying to adapt a game's story like most of the failures. Anyways, that's not a big Hollywood live action movie regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how you show your loyalty?! Huh? I didn't love either of those films to death at all. Moon was OK but HUGELY overrated, and Source Code is a pretty stupid movie that has a great score and a good idea (that just wasn't executed well) 1 hour ago, Stefancos said: Did Jason really?

KK 3,307 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Yea, Deakins was probably not involved due to conflicting schedules. I'm sure if Villeneuve ends up at the helm of Dune, Deakins will be behind the camera. Villeneuve generally has a good eye anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,345 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Previous attempts to make Dune have been not successful. Since then it's been seen as an unfilmable book, something that is best left alone. Everyone knows if you're doing a sequel to a 'sacred cow' like Blade Runner there's a very good chance you're gonna get your fingers burned. Villeneuve knows everyone is coming to the theatre with a baseball bat. Many directors would have said no. You can mimic the visuals but that doesn't mean you can bottle the essence. There are easier, more save projects to take on for a director. To take on these two requires brass balls. I mean, what's next? A new version of 2001: A Space Odyssey? You can never repeat certain things. It's only once in a lifetime. It's like doing another Chariots Of Fire. It's impossible. - Vangelis. BLADE RUNNER is not STAR WARS. It can’t be fabricated. - Chris Alexander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
