now that villeneuve shat the bed with blade runner anyone else

There will never be a good adaptation of Dune, and even worse we'll never get to see God Emperor on screen.

At some point can we acknowledge that MAYBE the source material is the problem?

>>82496858
blade runner isn't even out what the fuck do you want

>>82496858
>villeneuve shat the bed with blade runner
It's not out for months, nigga

>>82497018

Lol, by the time God Emperor was a thing, Dune turned to utter shit.
Only the first book was any good.

>>82496858
>now that villeneuve shat the bed with blade runner
this didn't happen
shut up

>>82497031
It IS the problem because the book is like 80% inner monologues done by superhumans with superintelligence. Trying to adapt Dune is a shit idea to begin with.

Why are films so clean nowadays?

There is literally nothing unfilmable about Dune
Just because Lynch fucked up with his version it doesn't mean the material is inherently cursed.

It's about a boy with a fucking magical destiny. The plot is extremely textbook.

>But there's so much unspoken monologues
No shit
It's a book. You can convey what people are thinking in film in ways that you can't in a book

>>82497262
because technology isn't shit anymore

The original book isn't, though. It's the sequels that drastically ramped up the philosophy, which, while still prevalent in the original book, didn't completely overwhelm the rest of it.

how old are you?

The problem is starting with Dune. God Emperor of Dune is the focus of the whole series and is where the first movie should begin. The first three books lead into it, and the last two expand out from it.

Leto II needed to become the most powerful person in existence, a literal God-Emperor. He deliberately held back and controlled the human species in order to guarantee their survival. Without him humans were liable to stagnate or kill themselves off. But he held a tight grip on humanity until its need to grow and expand exploded. When he died, there was nothing to hold people in and they exploded across the universe in the Scattering (and it's actually implied that they travelled into other universes as well).

Leto II left behind a legacy of tyranny, but he also guaranteed the infinite survival of the human species, though he had to sacrifice his humanity and his life to do so.

should they release the movies out of order?

>>82497497
Yes. Releasing the stories in order has already been tried multiple times. That doesn't work.

Also, Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time (Dune ripoff) would be better off starting with The Great Hunt.

>>82497419
While you're right, a series adaptation that starts with God Emperor would be destined to fail spectacularly.
>What's this, the main character is a giant worm, lmao not seeing that shit

>Dune is going to be plagued by the fake geek chic normie crowd who love Harry Potter, ASOIAF, MCU universe and John Green shit

I feel sick, hopefully the Herbert estate don't let this happen.

Perhaps the most important chapter of Dune is the one where Paul irrevocably begins his transformation into Mud'Dib

Visually, it's just him sitting for 5 minutes in a fucking cave. How do you film that? Lynch chose voiceover, which is retarded and awkward

>>82497419
God Emperor is inaccessible without knowledge from the first 3 books. Even if you managed to make a good GE movie that somehow managed to not require the viewer to read the books first to have any of it make any sense, not enough people would even like it to get sequels. You have to start with Dune.

>>82497893
Easy
You have him go into the cave
Show him in a meditation position
Show a time lapse effect (like a spot of sunlight changing position across the cave floor)
And then he comes out and acts different than how it went in

Maybe add some clunky dialogue with someone going "Paul, what happened in that cave?"

>>82497952
I read God Emperor first and it's the reason I love the series

This is how.

So is that worm the final boss?

>>82498228
Short answer.
No.
Long answer.
Yes.

>>82497049
>you can't judge a movie from a trailer
but that was totally acceptable when it was for GitS, right.

>Live action adaptation of an anime series
I mean, even without a trailer, I knew it was going to be shit.

>>82498228
No, they're just natural fauna. Their poop is the most precious thing in the universe. The entirely of Dune novels is about people fighting over worm's poop.
