KK 3,307 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Massive blockbuster productions require a different skillset. Having bold artistic vision is great and all, but it's not exactly going to save you from mismanagement. negotiating a whole bunch of moving parts in a big studio picture and pitching/compromising with exec head interests. These are things folks like Abrahms are good at, even if his films are vanilla as heck. With so much money at stake, a lot of these pictures need someone who can run a tight ship rather than someone with great artistry to make it to the theatres. With that said, there was a time when the two weren't mutually exclusive. But with the financial divide between the blockbuster and independent cinema growing ever larger, this is becoming more of a rarity. Now, the last person to successfully transition from the indie circuit, with a real voice of their own was Villeneuve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Dune fails at the BO, it's back to indie filmmaking, I'm afraid. I doubt that. Villeneuve for better or worse has now "made it". He's delivered 2 modest hits in Arrival and Scicario and 4 well respected movies in the industry in Prisoners, Arrival, Blade Runner and Scicario out of the 5 Hollywood movies he has directed. He's gotten an Oscar nomination for Best Director already and his movies have other oscar nominations. Up and down the line he has worked with A listers casts as well as crews. I don't like him but Villeneuve has absolutely made it and is now a bonafide A list star director. He's not going to need to make an indie for the rest of his life whatever is the fate of Dune.

Edmilson 7,392 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Here's the thing: Warner needs at least 80% of the world's screens to be functioning when Tenet opens. They'll try to release the Christopher Nolan movie by mid-July, but if that's not possible, Tenet will move to the current date for Wonder Woman 1984, August 14. And what does this have to do with Dune? Well, if Tenet takes WW84's spot, then the DC movie will move to December, which means Dune will get pushed to 2021. https://deadline.com/2020/05/tenet-coronavirus-release-date-change-movie-theaters-1202928823/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muad'Dib 1,801 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 At times it sounds like it wants to erupt into the opening theme from the Lynch movie. I'd love if they referenced at least in one of the trailers. What a theme! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,465 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Yes, it would be awesome with a reference to either the Toto music or Brian Eno's "Prophecy" theme, but the likelihood is very small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,287 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I dunno about the film itself, but it's not unlikely that a trailer might reference the music of the 1980s film; That's the way modern remakes/reimagining/sequels to old properties have been being marketed for a while now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,465 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 If so, I'm guessing a few remixed bars of the "Prophecy" theme. But knowing Villeneuve, he'll be concerned with the film having its own identity, even at trailer level. Well...if he has any clout, that is.
