Romão 2,274 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Cate Blanchett has always been my perfect Jessica in my mind. But if they wanted someone younger, they could go with Rosamund Pike. I'd love to see Ian Macdiarmid as Yueh and John Hurt as Kynes. Great call on Shailene Woodley as Chani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 They could do a remake to establish a new film continuity so they could film the rest of the books. I liked God Emperor, but I don't know if it's really filmable. It's just a big sandworm talking and philosophizing the whole time, a bunch of Duncans, and the Atreides girl that wants to kill the Emperor.

Perdogg 1 Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 I am generally opposed to remakes, unless a certain criteria is match such as:1. Did the originally meet a level of quality?2. Is there something about a remake that could be done better or done differently to distinguish it from the original? Such as could improved technology on special effects make a movie better.3. Was the original done in an era where it, due to current morality of the time, could not fully explore the storyline. This especially applies to novels adapted to movies.

Wojo 2,453 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Well, Frank wrote how many Dune books, six? Ignore his son's for now. Lynch's movie didn't get sequels, and the TV miniseries only filmed the first three books. I doubt any studio has the funds and cojones to commit the entire series to film, but the logical step if they decide to would be to reboot the series to establish a firm foundation. I don't think Dune ever became as mainstream as other beloved book series to warrant such a lavish commitment like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Narnia, or Game of Thrones. Those are all fantasy which proves my point. Do series like Star Trek, Star Wars (sci-fi lite), BSG, Stargate, etc. create such a strong presence in filmed sci-fi that book series are kept down in lieu of fantasy? That's a shame because sex is far more crucial to the Dune story than in Game of Thrones, which includes TNA for ratings because HBO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,173 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Why, if someone writes a book, and someone else turns it into a film, and then years later someone else discovers the book and also turns it into a film, is that person's film called a remake anyway? And under what logic is it deemed unnecessary or automatically inferior? And why does the same logic then not apply if it's an old book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,497 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Agreed. The best that we can hope for is that, somehow, Tony Gibbs will assemble a definitive cut, but don't bet on it.PS don't watch the TV version; it's rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I like the first TV miniseries, it's what got me into the books, but I totally didn't understand the sequel miniseries that condensed two books together. I've read Dune three times, I think, and all the sequels once through, but I haven't gone back and watched the sequels since reading their books. I've managed to avoid the Lynch movie so far.

Bespin 8,479 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Dune. A movie that I never was able to watch entirely.And because I never read the books, it's a phenomenon I can't really understand.Little did I know is that there is many books, so I think there's potential for more than just one movie.So, a reboot may be a good idea.Maybe a future project for Peter Jackson?
