Sci-Fi Dune

It's not irrelevant at all. They call it award season for a reason. A lot of the heavy hitter award nominees usually get released closer to this time of year.

In some cases it's absolutely irrelevant if a movie is well received enough. In recent years Everything Everywhere All At Once, Top Gun: Maverick, Elvis, CODA, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, Black Panther, Get Out, and Dunkirk were all nominated for Best Picture and all of them came out in either the summer or earlier than that, well outside of awards season. Two of them went on to win. Oppenheimer and Barbie are likely to continue that trend this year.

I mean a lot of those films you mentioned weren't released in the first quarter of the year, hence my issue.

Whether they were released in the first or second quarter, neither of those are in awards season.

Yes, award season exactly. Once again, it's not an exact science. But for one example, look at The Northman.

I was gonna miss this latest trailer as I feel I have seen enough already. But I caved today. Now that's a damn trailer.

Trailer showed too much for me. Also didn like the music.

Jeff Sneider says WBD is so bullish on Dune 2 they’ve already green lit the third film which will be released in 2027. The studio expects an opening weekend north of $100m for Dune 2 and the movie is considered a home run internally.

I'd forgotten the production budget was estimated at $120-122M, which is a lot cheaper than the first movie. If we get anywhere near that kind of opening, we'll have that Part 3 announcement before the second weekend at the box office.

Both Villeneuve, Chalamet, and Momoa have also been hinting at Part 3 already.

There's no way it's that low. If anything it looks like an even bigger production than the first one. There were reports that The Marvels had a 120 million budget too, and people bought that, before it was revealed that it had actually cost 220-275 million, which obviously was far more realistic. With this movie I don't even remember a credible source saying that.

Just double checked and noticed the original source people were quoting removed the number. Whoops. Never trust the internet I guess.

Correction: This article previously started Part Two’s budget is $122 million–this has not been confirmed and has been removed from this version of the post.

I just laugh at the idea of Momoa in the role going forward.

50 year old spoilers

Spoiler

He's one of the most recurring characters in the franchise, features in all six of Herbert's original Dune novels.
The third film if made should include events of Dune Messiah which would feature him prominently...

Spoiler

He is a "ghola" the Dune universe version of a clone, "manufactured" human duplicates grown in axlotl tanks from cells collected from a deceased subject, and can be made to recall the memories of their original.

Or jump to;

1:08:25

Unless you mean the idea of him playing a Mentat-Philosopher.

Did Villeneuve ever discuss why he didn't cast any North African or middle Eastern cast?

 

[Comicbookguy339]

Not loving the fact that Ghostbusters Frozen Empire and Godzilla X Kong 2 have both moved up a week. Dune has only 3 weeks in IMAX now.

Another trailer? Jeez, there's already three of them...

 

[Pennywise]

I’m just going to wait until the film comes out. Haven’t even seen the last trailer.

 

[Filmfan93]

The last trailer was only released a month ago.

The delay really messed up the marketing as they now have to release trailer after trailer to keep the buzz until March.

 

[Luigi]

Might as well show the whole movie.

 

[antsman41]

Japan trailer... chills, man.

 

[emielaen]

Just don't watch the trailers guys lol if you're already sold, it's not for you

 

[Filmfan93]

Japan trailer... chills, man.

It's literally just Trailer 3, edited slightly differently.

 

[Broseph44]

I mean you also don’t need to watch the new trailer or any of them if you don’t want to haha. I’m just saying because I never understand this complaint.

I don't usually watch them beyond the second trailer. It's not so much a complaint as much as they've already been putting trailers out there for almost a year so instead of making more they can just recycle the same first couple of trailers but with the updated release date edited in.

 

[Sithborg]

Its based on a 60 year old book. I find the concept of trailers spoiling a fairly accurate adaptation funny.
