It’s a busy day today in the world of “Dune”. First up, Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Three” has seemingly wrapped filming with a photo of signage from what appears to be the wrap party going online (via Timothee Nation). Filming on the third film officially began back on July 8th, and the wrap comes just […]
I seem to recall Denis making it clear this is where he intends to stop, for exactly this reason.
goddamnit, I wanted to see

Leto 2 becoming the sandworm god
but I guess with some of the disappointing scenes in the 2nd film (Paul taming Shai Hulud, the visions just being shots on a beach) , it probably wasn’t going to go down the way I wanted to. It’s a shame.
Soundtrack was still awesome, but it did re-use a LOT from the previous film
I did not, but not for lack of interest. I just never got around to it. I know very little about it but it always looked to me like the visuals at least drew very heavily from Lynch’s movie.
But why not? Who doesn’t love a giant worn talking around the fact that he’s created a fascist dictatorship for some vague promise that’ll it all pay off one day? /s
And that will likely be where they end the movies as the books start becoming weirder.

Having grown up on the Lynch film, I’m frankly astounded and delighted that we got a Dune adaptation that made it this far.

Sardaukar chant FTW.
Did you see the Syfy series?
At least the syfy miniseries dared to adapt Children of Dune.
I actually like it. We finally get an Irulan with agency and see Alia as a full character. And Leto 2 getting sandy.
Not sure how I feel about the Baron narrating in rhyming couplets though. Maybe just a tad too strange, even for Dune.

It wasn’t bad. It is better than Lynch’s film. It’s not as good as the Villenuve’s.
If it means anything I read all the books
Where does Jodo’s work rank in your estimation?
He never finished it but Im not a fan of that guy. Self admitted rapists shouldn’t be celebrated.
Wait, what did I miss? 😵💫 🤢
In El Toppo he actually raped the woman playing the prostitute in the rape scene.
I couldn’t help but read that in Danny Devito’s voice. Haha
The American mind can’t comprehend the glory of Leto III.
we didnt even get the creche-wide spice orgy for dune 2
lame
An American wrote the whole series. What we cannot do is make the 4th book interesting on film
But why not? Who doesn’t love a giant worn talking around the fact that he’s created a fascist dictatorship for some vague promise that’ll it all pay off one day? /s
It’s 500 pages of exposition and little story?
Oh! Did you not know and were speculating? The movies will only cover the first two books. The third book is when stuff starts to get… odd.
But the fourth book is mostly talking with an action set piece at the beginning and the end. I didn’t read the next book
No Im in my 50s and Im spacing whether it’s the fourth or fifth book that is mostly Leto engaging in exposition.
If ypu missed the last book you missed “Jews in Space” before Mel Brooks thought of it.
The fourth book, God Emperor of Dune, is the exposition book with Leto II (the III?)
I was wondering this. I mean I sorta would like to see the flash crossover part.
