So....Dune 2020. Cool?
I learned today for the first time that a remake of the awesome book (and decidedly less awesome early 80s movie) Dune is being made, and is currently in post-production with a release date of December 18, 2020.

The cast includes many I don't know, but the ones I do know seem excellent for their roles. It's damn near a Marvel reunion...

Jason Mamoa as Duncan Idaho (the swordmaster of House Atreides)

Josh Brolin as Gurney Halleck (weaponsmaster of House Atreides, played memorably (and surprisingly) by Patrick Stewart in the original movie

Stellan Skarsgard as Baron Harkonnen

Dave Bautista (better known as Drax the Destroyer) as "Beast" Rabban, the nephew of Harkonnen


The most critical guy -- the one playing Paul is unknown to me. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3154303/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t3

This film is also only going to cover the first half of the book, which is good. It's really not possible to cover the whole thing in one 2 or 3 hour movie.

Anyway -- I love the book and a really good film would be great. What say you about all this news? Or am I just the last to known (as would be typical, to be honest!)

I read the first Dune book decades ago. It's the only one I read. I really liked it. But felt like the story ended in a good spot and heard some of the subsequent books got a bit weird. So that's all I read.

I do think it would be confusing to see the movie without any context. But a confusing movie got me to read the book. Maybe that will be the case for others as well.

Same.

I didn't know Villanueve (or whatever) did Arrival. I didn't really like that movie either, but loved Sicario and Prisoners.

First off, I have no idea why people liked Avatar.

Secondly, as someone who hasn't read the Dune books, or really knew nothing about this until I sat down to watch, I was pleasantly surprised. It felt Star Wars-ish - not in a bad way. There were some slow moving parts, but overall I really enjoyed it. My only complaint was that my wife & I were really getting into it and then..... it's over.

It felt Star Wars-ish because it's one of the primary sources that Lucas borrowed elements from to build that universe.

I assumed that after I looked up and found the books were written in the 60's. So I guess I should say that Star Wars seems Dune-ish.

Good to know. I knew this one was going to just end at some point so so I was prepared but it’ll be nice knowing I’m getting a completed story in the next movie.

Watched it with the wife and daughter last night. I enjoyed it but was left wanting more. For a two and a half hour movie it didn't seem like a whole lot happened. Never read the books but now I think I need to do that. At least the first one.

It's weird having been on CP for 20 + years and just now realizing where long CPer in this thread got his username.

The spoiler tags in the last few posts, should I wait to view those until after I read the first book? Or are those just about this movie?
