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 just realized I’m going to be out of the country when the premiere happens.
Bummed.

Yeah, I'm not as big a fan as you but I did force the wife to agree to seeing it. The last flick I made her go to was "The Last Jedi" and we didn't talk for the first 10 minutes of the ride home...

Puerto Vallarta. Staying in a villa with some friends. HBO Max would be an option, for sure. Good idea!

I can’t explain the joy I felt when I saw that Mamoa had been cast as my dude.

Got around to watching this. I enjoyed it. That very first bit of exposition at the very beginning of the movie annoyed me but I settled down and got hooked in for the ride.

Not sure if you have seen this yet, Frazod, but movie critics who also happen to be giant fans of the book absolutely LOVE the film.

I think I've gotten too acclimated to being at home now. I didn't watch the bond movie yet and I'm gonna watch this on HBO Max. I guess I'm just not ready to deal with people yet.
