I know Dune by name and I know a bit of the iconography (giant worms) but because I too haven't read it thus far, I would personally rather wait until after the movie, so that I can judge the film as one should: as a film. Same with movie remakes of films that I haven't seen (e.g. the upcoming Wild Bunch remake). Arpy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,208 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I guess it was for marketing reasons. Who doesn't want to sell their new franchise as "the next Star Wars"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brónach 1,301 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Next? They probably have the 00's LOTR phenomenon in mind, instead. Personally, I just find it a boring choice for a movie space-opera adaptation, but Hollywood has this brutal inertia in getting to do things that it might as well be necessary to get oter people to do other more fun things twenty years from now. The thing with the Atreides is that they ARE a feudal aristocratic family and they DO use the Fremen as pawns for their own benefit (In a different way the other houses do), and Paul does so being prescient of a future where billions die while brooding about "not being able to stop it" (??)*. There's probably going to be a) a lot of confused Kylo Ren-like discourse about whether moviegoers like the character or not and why, and b) stupid takes based on interpreting themes in reverse (whether the books succeed in their subversion of tropes I just don't remember at this point, it's been a while...) I also imagine the movie will be more or less literal to the book, meaning the ecology aspect will remain the same, unexpanded, and secondary, which is boring to me. *I should also mention the Fremen become fanatic murderous bastards so there's not a whole lot to hang onto here. Fans of 40k may be interested on a similar grimdark space-opera thing without some of the silliness they know. Anti-heroic characters and the split-in-half that's going to give us "exposition: the movie" are some of the reasons I imagine this movie having trouble, but maybe I'm wrong and it works with the zeitgeist, who knows. Things that could give us a more complete narrative could be: more Liet, more Chani, and more Irulan (in the book she's a footnote. She's not in this one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always helps naming the film after the whole book, with no indication that it's supposed to be first of two parts. Especially if it ends in the middle of the story without anything to suggest that it's not actually the end of it. As a kid, I was endlessly confused by the ending of Bakshi's LOTR, before I read the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to re-read it before the film comes out, if I find the time. Still, it's a bit unfortunate that the first part/film and the whole book have the same title. It'll confuse people who haven't read it and don't know the film only covers the first part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romão 2,266 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Oh yes, a lot of the names and concepts are Arabic in origin, amongst many other origins for other names and concepts. And the Dune universe is of course fictional but not totally 100% detached from history. A lot of the ideas and concepts are aluded to be derived from old Earth History (or Old Terra, as they call it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen G. 3,883 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Yeah, but you'd imagine they'd be variations on Arabic names, rather than a copy-paste. That's gonna be distracting. Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
