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!)

It would be difficult to make a worse movie.

Hate the look of Paul but maybe he can act.

For me, the SciFi Dune Miniseries is the definitive version until topped.

Yeah, on looks alone....I'm not impressed. But I wasn't in favor of Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk and that has worked well. Paul is supposed to be pretty young after all... The rest of the cast seems extremely strong.

I never saw the miniseries, unfortunately. I've heard good things.

Hate the 1984 version.

I’ll give this a chance because it’s directed by denis villeneuve. One of the finest directors working right now.

I always thought Paul and Leto should be portrayed by the same actor; the Leto character could just be aged and made to be a bit taller. A line from the book said that when Gurney first saw Paul again, he initially thought he was looking at a ghost image of Leto. That's how I'd do it, anyway.

I guess they could ugly-up Brolin enough to be a respectable Halleck. I don't have any trouble seeing Mamoa as Idaho.

But how are they going to make Skarsgard believable as the Baron? In my mind's eye I've always pictured the Baron as an evil Orson Welles (his later years when he was fat as hell). Neither the abortion that was the '84 movie or the miniseries got him right.

But like DeBerg said, the director did a fantastic job with the last Blade Runner, so I'm willing to give him the slightest benefit of the doubt. But Dune is my favorite book ever, and after the wretched/shoddy/cheap as **** treatment it's received in the past, it's going to be hard to impress me unless he really gets it right.

I hope it's good.

The first was pretty bad.

The problem, as I see it, is that so much of the story (in the novel) occurs between the characters' ears. It's not a story that lends itself well to a visual format.

But I'm still enough of a Dune fan to say that I'm 90% sure I'm going to see it when it comes out.

I bitch about Hollywood remakes as much as the next guy, but I'll likely be guilty of throwing down the cash to see this in IMAX.

It's been literal decades since I read the original or watched the 80's show, but the one thing I remember young me thinking was Duncan Idaho being a bad ass, and he kind of just went out with a pop in the movie?

The mini-series on sci-fi was good, so it's doable.

It may just be like so many other novels: there's too much to cover in 2-3 hours.

Idaho’s part in Dune kind of necessitates that, though the later installments show off his bad-assery.

Mamma sure has a thing for a specific character, doesn’t he? Complete badass who dies quickly.
