I bitch about Hollywood remakes as much as the next guy, but I'll likely be guilty of throwing down the cash to see this in IMAX.
It's been literal decades since I read the original or watched the 80's show, but the one thing I remember young me thinking was Duncan Idaho being a bad ass, and he kind of just went out with a pop in the movie? [Reply]

Idaho’s part in Dune kind of necessitates that, though the later installments show off his bad-assery.
Mamma sure has a thing for a specific character, doesn’t he? Complete badass who dies quickly. [Reply]
Read something yesterday that said footage from this was viewed by industry people in the last couple of weeks, and the reaction was comparisons to Lord of the Rings. In terms of the impact it may have and the technical advances on display.

Heh. I've already said my peace. I loved the new Blade Runner and I'm willing to give this guy the benefit of the doubt. Barely.
The problem, IMO, is there's just too much material to adequately cover in a 2-3 hour movie. Dune should be an Amazon/Netflix HBO miniseries. I'd feel much better about that. [Reply]

I believe it's going to be two movies. I think it's doable if they're on the longer side. [Reply]
