New Dune Movie

[SandChigger]

A number of people even seem to want that.

(Edit: check out my latest entry to the Twitter Wars thread for an example of one!)

[MrFlibble]

I could see the Legends series becoming B-movie franchise leaches

A mediocre Star Wars: The Clone Wars rip-off? No thanks.

quite frankly it would even make our point if that did happen, I mean what better way of having people see the truth than by showing them?

!I still hope they won't cock up the Dune movie, and what better slap in the face for the hack than to see the original material succeed(and if they stay true to Frank's work it cannot but...), while his shitty childish tales end up in the bargain bin with other masterpieces of sci fi lol

I think I am going to have to applaud the hollywood executives for this one. For once they are on our side.

that could change in a heartbeat -
a whole helluva lot will depend on whose movie and what kind of movies
make the big, big money this summer ...

if the 3D thing gets over-exposed and burned-out, no 3D-Dune -
if after this summer all the kids expect 3D, it will be so ...

I'm not holding my breath until the script is set and a director has been actually signed,
and some producers have started pouring money into it .... even then, it could still end
up being Power Rangers in a Dry, Arid Climate ....

Oh this could be terrible. Not another waste of perfectly good usable money for reviving the integrity of the original Dune. What is the world coming to?

[Freakzilla]

What is the world coming to?

Animated 3D.

i just got a note from him at My Space. Things are going well. Hes busy with work and females. Cute ones too.

KJA or chigger? lol. Make sure we are clear on this one.

Chigger grew weary of having frying pans thrown at him years ago. That was about Eru, IIRC. He wandered into the desert a year or so ago.

[SandChigger]

An LA Times article about Dune ("Frank Herbert’s 'Dune' holds timely — and timeless — appeal") claims Charlize Theron was going to be Peter Berg's choice for Jessica. Anyone else hear anything about this? Not that it really matters now, of course.

I guess that means his pick for Duncan would have been ... Will Smith?

[Omphalos]

Both of those actors are certainly muscular.

[SandChigger]

Yeah ... she sure is...

[lotek]

charlize theron... isn't that that actress that played a giant gorilla?


muscular indeed

[Freakzilla]

[looking very closely for muscles...]

[lotek]

the most interesting being the ones one cannot see

[SandChigger]

charlize theron... isn't that that actress that played a giant gorilla?

No, she played with one.



He was happy. I would be, too.

Yeah, she's no monster.

[TheDukester]

She is about 11 different flavors of yummy.

Whether or not that means she would have been a decent Jessica is open to speculation.

[reverendmotherQ.]

Sexy is okay but if she can't pull off the poise then pull her from the pay roll. lol.

[Omphalos]

Sexy includes poise. Sexy without poise is just hot.

[TheDukester]

Yeah, she's no monster ...

Lawl. Wanted to let you know that someone got this.

[Tleszer]

Although I'm glad she got the plastic surgery, I think less people think of her being a MRF now.

Devin Faraci at Chud is predicting Dune for Summer 2012.

[SandChigger]

And without dates but likely for summer 2012:

• Godzilla
• John Carter of Mars
• Dune

Fucking Hollywood: two remakes and only one new, original film.

Mentioned it before but that's really bad timing for the Herbert Leech Parade, seeing how 2011 and 2013 are the Dymnumbnic Duo's scheduled "Dune years" and 2012 will be a SMELLHOLE year.

What do you want to bet that the book publication schedule gets changed around as the movie release date firms up more?

(Called it here! )

[Redstar]

Actually, Godzilla will be a reboot of a failed reboot. Better?
