They won't and can't. Dune doesn't work as a 2 hour movie. It needs to be at least 4 or 5 hours long.

That's why the mini series (3 episodes of 80 minutes) did the book justice and the Lynch movie did not because it was too rushed.

>>78993439
I think after Blade Runner he's a meme director.
They've selected him because of pre-release hype and expectations that he can do well by Blade Runner so they get him to reboot all sorts of shit. That'll work!

They will fuck it up. I guarantee it

>>78993439
>Dune Reboot

just no

>>78993799
Well to me, his Arrival movie had some of the best pacing when it comes to sci fi

>Slow driven
>Not an action movie at all
This is what Dune needs to be to work

I prefer Children of Dune to Dune when it comes to the mini series and COD has the least action. It is very story driven and all the performances, acting works so well.

I am sure this director will make a perfect Dune movie if he doesn't focus on action or fast pace.

JJ Abrams' Force Awakens sucks so much because the pacing is so fast.

If this guy directed TFA, then I am sure it would have been an amazing movie.

>not Jodorowsky

fuck off

>>78993781

they've got to 3 hours, 3.5 on the directors cut

otherwise don't even bother

>>78993781
The miniseries was closer, but flawed in a few bad choices (whiny Paul, Irulan doing nothing at all) and in the lack of budget for some scenes.

You can't do the book justice in film form because it relies heavily on introspection. Worm riding, shield-lasgun nukes and crysknife duels are mere stuffing to the actual story of Paul's internal process of decision.

I know it's cool to hate directors who are "in' now and reddit likes, but Arrival was a shit screenplay that Denis somehow made work

Prisoners and Incendies are all good and they could do worse, and Villeneuve is actually passionate about it

>>78993853
>This is what Dune needs to be to work

It also needs to be 4-5 hours long so that pacing doesn't end up like the first half of the Lynch Dune. That had great pacing until he realized "oh shit i still have 80% of the story to tell."

If you're going to have slow pacing, you need to do more movies. Theres literally too much to explore that will just blow normies brains out.

> What the fuck is a quidditch haddorack?

Arrival was literally kindergarten level information, teaching ayylmaos to write hello. You can easily tell that story in a super drawn out slow paced way.

There is NO way to do a Dune adaption in a single movie that isn't prohibitively long.

>>78993940
>It also needs to be 4-5 hours long so that pacing doesn't end up like the first half of the Lynch Dune. That had great pacing until he realized "oh shit i still have 80% of the story to tell."
I agree. I was rewatching Lynch's Dune and loved the first hour

>>78993439
Do I read the whole series or just the first book?

After the abomination that was Arrival, I have very little faith in this. Lynch's version was amazing, they should've given it to him again.

>>78993632
Well, planets were isolated for a long long time before Spacing Guild become the norm so sure. And not like noble Houses want free travel for their serfs anyway.

>>78993980
Up to Chapterhouse: Dune.

The very best is up to Children of Dune.
God Emperor is great, and the ones after that are also pretty good. But while the first ones are more self contained, after God Emperor you start wondering what is the "Danger" that must be prevented/that everybody runs from.

And you'll never get a proper answer because the author died. So it feels a bit unsatisfying.
It compensates by giving you Miles Teg: Space Badass.

Frank Herbert wrote the saga continuosly with major reveals planned way ahead all the way to books 5 and 6. Haven't read his son's continuations but will soon. I wish they could do a GoT style long running series but better planned, closer casting ressembling the actual characters and the internal processes and minutiae stuff being expressed properly.

>>78994027
>Haven't read his son's continuations but will soon.

Don't. Continuations or prequels. Just don't. It's like his son completely missed the point of Dune and wrote fan fiction.

>>78993632
The Bene Gesserit Order manage a very long-term careful breeding program that controls the genes of the human population thorough hundreds of planets.

It's also a plot point that all sorts of populations crossed with each other innumberable times, so even if the "white people genes" got brought forth, it's out of a genetic code has bits and pieces from every other possible outcome of the human spectrum.

>>78994021
Dude, when I came to that part I was like holy fuck I wish I could see this on a screen (Miles Teg Badass), I'm about to read Chapterhouse and I'm sad Frank didn't finish the whole thing himself, not too sure about his son's (and that other dude's) writing capabilities, Frank was great.

>>78993853
exactly what dune needs to be is a series again. there is no way it'll work as a movie, precisely because no matter how many movies get approved simple fact it's a movie brings with it separate conditions and problems.

People miss the point of the last two books by calling them "too weird" or thinking Herbert lost his mind when that's precisely the point - humanity becoming free and kinda going apeshit after centuries of tyranny under their God-Emperor.

Courtesy of pasta

Dune - charismatic and exciting.
Messiah - Heart-breaking, with a small glimmer of hope
Children - you build faith in the twins throughout the book
God Emperor - you get to hear the monster speak and it's bone-chilling
Heretic - Back to the action

>humanity becoming free and kinda going apeshit after centuries of tyranny under their God-Emperor

It's only sorta apeshit. The Scattering effect was exactly what Leto planned. But so is the realization that someone needs to take control, it's just that the BG (and everybody else) are too afraid to do it after they saw the worst possible example of someone taking control of humanity.
The result is that mixture of wild, constant change, but with enough control to direct it when it's needed.
And it all had to come into place in time to be tested by whatever the HMs found in the Scattering.
And we never got to see it.

The longing for Caladan was a sudden pain in his breast. He felt that it did not come from within himself, but that it reached out to him from Caladan. He could not bring himself to call this dry wasteland of Arrakis his home, and he doubted he ever would.

>I must mask my feelings , he thought. For the boy's sake. If ever he's to have a home, this must be it. I may think of Arrakis as a hell I've reached before death, but he must find here that which will inspire him. There must be something .

>>78994793
>I didn't expect you to be so dishonest
I'm not trying to win an argument here.

And yeah, an attempt on his son's life happened. But you can see that he genuinely believes all his charges to be equal, the way he's treating them. Remember the spice crawler thing, where he takes a risk to save as many people as he can? He's such a good ruler exactly because he doesn't see himself as superior. He was born into that role and he does his best, treating it as a responsibility and not just a right. And sometimes he wishes he didn't have that responsibility.

>>78994886

>Remember the spice crawler thing, where he takes a risk to save as many people as he can? He's such a good ruler exactly because he doesn't see himself as superior

Of course he sees himself as superior, otherwise why would he hold himself to such a high standard compared to everyone else?

You have the very modern, almost contemporary idea that being superior to someone means you can disregard those who are inferior to you. No, a regent has a duty towards his people, not in the democratic sense that the will of the people make the regent, but that the ruler exists for the people, as in, his existence serves the purpose of following moral principles that are superior to him and by doing that he manages to guide the people under him towards the Good.

>>78994925
Well, the direct opposite is the Harkonnens, who believe that things are "good" if they strengthen their rule and "bad" if they weaken it, that fear is a good way to rule and all that. We don't get much insight into other Houses except for Corrino, and Corrino do seem to live by the same rules - Shaddam seeks to destroy Leto only because Leto is "too popular" in the Landsraad (exactly because Leto is a humane and charming fucker) and he sees it as a general threat to his rule and seeks to destroy it.
>Paul's father brings up how one house basically fell to ruin because they were too good
I don't remember that, and I've re-read the first Dune pretty recently. Can you find the exact quote?

>>78994997
Sadly I can't. It was about their leader who grow old and only indulged his children, who grew up spoiled and useless, while neglecting the affairs of his House. Maybe that will spring someone else's memory.

>>78994995
>You have the very modern, almost contemporary idea that being superior to someone means you can disregard those who are inferior to you.
That is exactly what the Harkonnens do, and it works for them... to an extent. We don't have any real evidence what is the norm among other Houses, but I'm pretty sure Leto's disposition is mentioned to be pretty different. That's also what Kynes notices as a dangerous thing, how he inspires fanatical following through the way he sincerely cares for his charges.

>>78995064
I don't remember that. Doesn't sound a bit like altruism, at any rate.

>>78994997
I think it's kinda hilarious Shaddam's gross overreaction to Atreides' popular opinion lead to the entire Dune story kicking off. Considering how much military power Imperial House held and what leverage the Emperor has over pretty much everyone, doubly so if he the Guild and CHOAM openly support him, it was ridiculous to think Atreides could've been a realistic threat.

>>78995074

>That is exactly what the Harkonnens do

Yes, and Herbert criticizes this. He also criticizes the Harkonnen by stating that their aristocratic titles are the result of merchantile activity rather than an ancient lineage.

Which reinforces my original point that Herbert is praising aristocratic values and for that I'm highly skeptical of Hollywood being able to represent this well and not produce some kind of pro-democratic caricature.

>>78995128

>>78995128
house atreides was known for being very good military leaders though. while they couldn't take on the empire on their own, they could potentially be used by a coalition of other houses to to overtake the throne, or so the emperor thought. just because a royal house is small doesn't mean it isn't a threat.

>>78995209
It's been a while, but I remember the fear being that Leto and his popularity had the potential to bring the minor houses to bear behind him, which would bolster the Atreides beyond their own power

I feel like you can't adapt Dune well into a movie. TV series maybe but Dune is massive and can't really be done justice in two or three hours.

>>78995128
Corrino's military might is Sardaukars, and while one of those is probably worth a ten House soldiers, the Houses have way more troops. Of course, transportation is a concern, it's ludicrously expensive considering the Guild monopoly.

>>78995178
Herbert might be praising Leto's values, but I very much doubt he was praising the Faufreluches system, especially considering how Baron is another product of such system. Okay, you might say Baron's ancestry was ignoble, but what about the Corrinos? They might not be as disgusting as the Baron, but they scheme and manipulate and do everything they can to gain power just as he would do.

You must also consider that the premise of the series is strictly anti-messianic. Paul has all the characteristics of a classic "good ruler" - his father raised him well, his ancestry can be followed way back ancient Greece, he genuinely cares... and yet he makes a colossal mess of the situation and after his not-quite-death his ideals are perverted and used to control people in ways that make him sick. That doesn't make Dune essentially pro-democratic (I remember BG having a pretty funny assessment of democracy in book 5 or 6, haven't gotten to re-reading those yet), but I think there's more to it than "aristocracy and rigid social orders are good".

Praising aristocratic values and praising totalitarianism isn't the same thing.

You can be very much in favor of monarchy and against centralization, in fact that was basically the situation in the HRE.

Also, take another societal system that Herbert seems to praise or at least respect, that of the Fremen. It's basically social darwinism + theocracy. Whatever Herbert was doing, he was clearly not writing praise of liberal progressive democracies.

>>78995530
This. He went out to create a harsh universe, and shit like democracy won't fly there. Hollywood will completely shit all over Dune.

>>78994965
Sting for the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV

>>78995530
Emperor rule wasn't total, though, he was a part of that complex system. And who's to say his values were less aristocratic than those of Duke Leto?

It's interesting that he respects the Fremen despite the fact that a lot of their religious beliefs are a bunch of bullshit planted by Missionaria Protectiva. I guess it's not what exactly they believe in, but how they manage to thrive in such a hostile environment.

Then again, the Jihad, which Paul resents but can't stop, was born in their psyche. I mean, one of their rituals is remembering all the wrongs the others did to them, back when they lived on Betelgeuse etc. It's like a spiral in their mind, so when it gets released everyone else suffers.

>>78995598
I second this

>>78995607
It's clear Padishah Emperor obviously detested being held in check by Landsraad and Spacing Guild. He really only held power because Imperial House held majority share in CHOAM stocks.

>>78995644
>He really only held power because Imperial House held majority share in CHOAM stocks.
Are you sure you aren't confusing cause and effect here? I don't think it's ever stated in the original books which is which. And he also held the power because of Sardaukars. People feared them.

>>78995644
And because this little thing called Sardaukar

>>78995508
The grossness/body horror aspect of the Harkonnens is basically unique to film, one of the things done in adaption as a kind of shorthand since the story is too big for a movie.

The Atreides 'Weirding Way" in the movie that is a system to turn sound into physical form? In the books it's a martial art, where absolute control of a persons nervous system gives an expert in it speed and abilities that can appear superhuman to a normal person. The movie changed it to weapons because they thought hand-to-hand fighting in sand dunes wasn't compelling visually.

>>78995707
That's not exactly true, the Baron is morbidly obese in the book and Giedi Prime is a dirty shithole.

Unless it's a 10 part adaptation or at least a 3 hour per film trilogy AT BARE MINIMUM why even bother.

Also...I wonder if he can borrow designs from Lynch's Dune. I really like some of them.

Ridley Scott is doing 3001 for Syfy.

Hell, Syfy have announced plans to do Hyperion too.

More like young Leto II

what about woody for halek or not potato face enough?

>>78993439
ugh why are they rebooting dune the original was fine

I'll forever struggle with the fact they'll never get a better cast than the Lynch movie.

The miniseries just felt so amateur in comparison.

>>78994096
The story points are fine, it's just that writing style isn't introspective at all anymore, all the philosophy is gone, it's now only action.

The emperor clearly doesn't approve of that, as he secretly tries to go around the rules he should obey.

Did the last novel suck with the asspull of water breathing sand trout?

>>78993439
Holy shit yes. Unironically excited for this.

>>78996212
That and I think they openly admitted they were just 'inspired' by Herbert's notes.

They had something like a 30 page synopsis for Frank's Dune 7, and ended up writing something like 12 books before getting there.

And their two book version of "Dune 7" (which is something like 1500 pages?) pretty obviously ain't what Frank was going for.

>>78993507
then whom is JJ and Refn?

>>78994096
>I mean technically they used his dad's notes, similiar to the Silmarillion
I'm sceptical about it, I think they lied about the notetes. the even missed what Butlerian Jihad was and turned it from civil war among humans which is what Herbert alluded to into some shitty Marix in space with human on machines war

>>78996052
Oh please no.
They butchered Childhood's End, and now it's Hyperion.
Is there any brakes on this helltrain ?

Just replace Feyd, Paul and Chani with 3 competent actors who are above the age of 12 unlike these pisspoor choices.

could they have found a worse fit this side of michael bay or something? that shit WILL be an action spectacle in space.

the first three is a trilogy, the 4th one is a bridge, 5th and 6th are the first two parts of an unfinished second trilogy (the author died before finishing). So either read the first book and leave it there, read the first trilogy and leave it there, or read the whole thing and read it there. Never EVER touch anything written by the Brian Herbert. Seriously, stay away from that shit.

>>78997544

Just read the six Frank Herbert ones. Feel free to delete the others to save hard drive space immediately.

de vries is supposed to be young, no? Cillian Murphy would be better. Don't know who would be playing Yueh then.

And I'd rather have Hawat be payed by Clint Eastwood.

Aside from the ones you've mentioned it's a pretty good cast

Assuming it is good, and they make more, I just hope they don't go beyond God-Emperor. It's ending works great as a finale for the entire series, and the second story arc that follows is a mess anyway.

Just dont go to the prequels and we're fine.

A part of me wants this is fail critically just like the David Lynch attempt, just so we can get hollywood to stop using Villeneuve for sci-fi films.
