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!) |

That choral track in the trailer is really good.
I hope we get some of that in the film. Give it some of that pop vibe '84 Dune had. Just a touch. I'll still probably recut some of the film with TOTO music cus I'm a nerd. |

I have zero idea about Jodorowsky's Dune, never heard of it until 5 minutes ago but perhaps some Dune nerds can shed some light. The soundtrack though is apparently an altered version of Pink Floyd's song Eclipse. Here is an excerpt of that article: "Confused about the song that plays in the trailer? That's the Pink Floyd song "Eclipse," rearranged and seemingly re-recorded by composer Hans Zimmer. This references Jodorowsky's Dune because, in the '70s, Jodorowsky wanted Pink Floyd to do the soundtrack for his version of Dune. If you know this, then the message is clear: Villeneuve and Hans Zimmer dig Jodorowsky's Dune, or at the very least, are aware of it." |

Hans Zimmer is legit. Should be a great sound track.

What’s worse is that’s the same date as ‘The Batman’ so that’s likely getting pushed too. |

Trailer has got me pumped.
I hope they get it right. Just did a two week vacation and spent a bunch of time in the car. My wife picked out some books on tape and she actually picked Dune. She didn't even know what it was and when I told her what a fantastic book it was she got excited to hear it. She ended up loving it. |

Gonna' be pretty hard to replace Baron Harkonen, Rabban, that trippy mentat, and Paul's wild little sister. Also those dudes in the black rubber coats who ineffectively swept the schmag off the floor from the big worm tank. Those guys had attitude.

Yeah there's a whole second wave of studios crashing when people don't return to the theaters when they re-open. The performance of Tenet freaked this town out bad. You have each studio sitting on billions of dollars of production and everyone is afraid they're going to make $.10 on the dollar from the exhibitors.

If they would release some of these big movies on VOD for $30 a pop, they would be ok? But I keep hearing conflicting info on how successful or not Mulan was |

I’ve been told that Mulan is exceeding expectations so far and as of tomorrow, it’ll be available without Disney+, they should see an increase in sales.

But the proof is in the pudding: If Mulan earns somewhere near its theater projections, then Disney really doesn’t have any reason to sit on Black Widow until next year.
I’m willing to bet that people will pay easily $39.99 and maybe even $49.99 to see a great Marvel film this year. |
