Sci-Fi Dune

My steelbook just arrived!

Time to watch this bad boy in 4K.

NIce, I am waiting for the switching aspect ratio version to get a steelbook.

The Corridor Digital guys had themselves a ball this week:

 

[TheVileOne]

Damn, thought this property would ripe for an Extended Edition, oh well thankfully I loved the movie as is.

Release the Alan Smithee cut.

 

[Prison Mike]

I hope Part 2 of Dune has end credits like this

I still can't believe this film didn't have the WB logo dissipate into sand or something neat. The fugly lifeless blue logo was a joke.

That would've been neat.

I mean, garbage like Resurrections still had the iconic stylised green WB logo, yet a masterpiece like Dune didn't do anything fun with it.

11 BAFTA noms and 10 Academy Award noms. Well deserved!

Awesome!! Congrats to everyone involved.

Denis deserved a director nod though, imo.

Denis deserved a director nod though, imo.

He did. Competition was stiff though. Although I feel like if Denis were in there and Spielberg was snubbed, I don't think too many people would have been upset about it since the man already has two Best Director Oscars on top of the fact that he's Steven friggin' Spielberg.

 

[Prison Mike]

I’m sure they will be giving Denis all the nominations for Part 2

 

[Slick]

Bought Dune 2021 and Dune 1984 on 4K today. So that’s pretty dope.

 

[Filmfreak]

So they released this in cinemas again, amidst Oscar nominations period. Good. This 399,4 million really bothered me.

‘Dune’ Crosses $400M At Worldwide Box Office - Deadline

 

[-Arya-]

Pretty cool that this property was able to be in the same financial ballpark as 3 Marvel movies released in the same year.

Pretty cool that this property was able to be in the same financial ballpark as 3 Marvel movies released in the same year.

And with a simultaneous digital release on HBO Max

 

[DarkKnight88]

If the sequel stays theatrical only, it may have the ability to double the first worldwide. Especially if it’s as good or better.

 

[Filmfreak]

With the popularity of the first one, a (hopefully) much improved situation pandemic-wise and a purely cinematic release I can easily seeing this making around 600-700 million.

Pugh as Princess Irulan for Dune Part II… then Hunter Schafer as Paul’s daughter, Ghanima, for Children Of Dune.

Love this casting!

I think so too. By the time another film comes out theatres will be in a very different place and much closer to pre-pandemic.

 

[green]

So we have about six months give or take and three major roles to be cast. Will we get announcements or are they going to just go about business like the last one without ant real casing fanfare.
I'm actually expecting a few unexpected choices for Irulan, Shaddam and Feyd.

 

[TheVileOne]

Denis deserved a director nod though, imo.

Timothy Chalamet and Oscar Isaac deserved nominations as well. Unfortunate.

Seems a bit overly optimistic looking at where the world is right now, and California still under heavy lockdown.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Eh. I thought Chalamet and Isaac were good but I wouldn’t say any actor in this deserves an Oscar nom.
