Sci-Fi Dune

[Guts]

Jodorowsky was going to shoot part of the film in Algeria. They spoke to the Algerian government, and the Algerian army was going to play extras. Jodorowsky was looking for who was going to play Jessica, and he wanted a strong, beautiful woman, not a weak dainty woman. Someone with a real spiritual strength. He saw a movie with Charlotte Rampling, and thought she would be perfect. They sent Charlotte Rampling the script, and she agreed to meet with Jodo before she had read the script, and in the script, there is a scene where a character named Rabban the Beast, part of the Harkonnen army. In order to insult Duke Leto, David Carradine, Rabban the Beast gets his army, the Algerian army, to pull down their pants in front of the palace and ****. So there’s going to be a scene of 2,000 extras defecating at once. So here’s Charlotte Rampling, she agrees to meet with Jodo, she gets the script, she reads the script, and she says, “I can’t be in a movie where there’s 2,000 extras defecating on screen! I need to be in a movie that people are actually going to see! Who the hell is going to see this movie?” Jodo said, “It was a great disappointment for me. A great disappointment.” It’s kind of fantastic.

Considering how much moisture is valued on Arrakis, this would be a really good insult. Also not surprsing with Jodorowsky considering there is a scene in The Holy Mountain where the main character poops in a bowl and the Jodorowsky's character turns it into gold.

Anti-septic & gun-metal

Still pics look more like his Zero Dark Thirty. But the final movie will be different, most likely. Fraser's cinematography is rather morose. ZDT feels almost like an exception. And it's my favorite work of his.

Also not surprising nobody wanted to make that movie.

Only the image from yesterday is from actual film footage.

And a damn shame at that, lol.

Re-posting because you're probably right

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Dune as a concept is pretty silly when you realize that all these characters are basically pooping and peeing on themselves all the time.

Sigh.

 

[Guts]

Sigh.

That's literally how the stillsuits work. All the moisture the human body accumulates throughout the day such as sweat, urine, and poop is collected by the suit and recycled into drinkable water. It's how the Fremen survive in the desert.

Kynes studied the underarm seals, adjusted one. “Motions of the body, especially breathing,” he said, “and some osmotic action provide the pumping force.” He loosened the chest fit slightly. “Reclaimed water circulates to catchpockets from which you draw it through this tube in the clip at your neck.”

The Duke twisted his chin in and down to look at the end of the tube. “Efficient and convenient,” he said. “Good engineering.”

Kynes knelt, examined the leg seals. “Urine and feces are processed in the thigh pads,” he said, and stood up, felt the neck fitting, lifted a sectioned flap there. “In the open desert, you wear this filter across your face, this tube in the nostrils with these plugs to insure a tight fit. Breathe in through the mouth filter, out through the nose tube. With a Fremen suit in good working order, you won’t lose more than a thimbleful of moisture a day—even if you’re caught in the Great Erg.”

Played Dune from Cryo a lot as a kid. Chani's Eyes is probably the most memorable track from it for me:

I didn't need to know that

You're thinking of a different kind of movie. Another one that I'd highly recommend.

... a scene in The Holy Mountain where the main character poops in a bowl and the Jodorowsky's character turns it into gold.

Jodo- Always in pursuit of nothing but the purist and true alchemical transcendence.

Well, she perfectly hits the sweet spot of Instagram's most active, main target audience.

Something tells me we shouldn't worry about the movie's success anymore. It was a good idea to get her in.

By the way, I really like Zendaya on these pics.

I remember from the books that stillsuits (and Fremen) smell awful.

Jessica is the one who exploited the safeguards the Bene Gesserit built into the Fremen culture. And gender politics is kind of complicated with Herbert, in the first books at least. I would not mind if they tweaked things a bit, because Herbert had some troublesome views that came out more in the later novels.

What troublesome views?

It really is a crime how un****able Apocalypse was. That giant beefcake in the comics reduced to that Ivan Ooze-y creep? Irresponsible. Extend Singer’s sentence.

 

[OfficerK]

Zendaya looks convincing enough, I really like all that i'm seeing here. Really wish they would have shown either piter/rabban/baron though...guess they want to focus on the core people first.

I mean, we know beefcake isn't Singer's type...

 

[DarkKnight88]

I'm sorry, was Apocalypse supposed to be attractive or are we all just out of our minds? Maybe there are people who want to screw Thanos too, but I sure would never like to meet them.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

*Sees all the images*

 

[OutOfBoose]

I wonder what general population of Star Wars geeks will think of Dune... Will they be interested in it?

Yes and yes.

I mean, it takes very, very special talent to make Oscar Isaac un****able.

I wonder what general population of Star Wars geeks will think of Dune... Will they be interested in it?

Lets see. Heavy on the people of color cast. Multiple female leads. Generally less action. LOTS of politics. They will hate it.

I don't claim to be representative of Star Wars fans, just one fan lurking around, but those released images seem pretty unremarkable. I mean, I understand that it might not look the same in the film, and there's more than the look to consider, but so far between the images and the general concept it's a definite "eh". I also think that, to the extent that people know that this is a Part 1 with no Part 2 made, that won't help much. You'd be paying for a ticket on the possibility that the story might get an ending later on. I love Fellowship of the Ring to death, but if there weren't any sequels that would have hurt it badly.

On an unrelated note, while I had no idea that anyone was attracted to Apocalypse, I think Ariel the mermaid's hot, so who am I to judge?
