Apparently some footage was shown to some industry folks recently and one guy, a Sci fi writer, flipped out...




Although I don't think the film will have the mass popcorn appeal that those films did just based on Villanueve's style, I do think it may very well be the best epic Sci fi or Fantasy film since LOTR. Remember, Deakins is shooting this.

Its filmable, just no one put together a great cast along w a good script. Been one or the other but not both.

The whole rain crap, weirding module garbage, and portraying the harkonnens as cartoon buffoons ruined the first one.

Cast seems pretty good so far.

Fingers crossed it's done right

Villanueve is the perfect choice to bring this to life.

Just like Jared Leto's Joker was supposed to be the end-all of Joker.

I'll make that call myself.

Yep. Lynch's cast was perfect.

Can’t wait. Would be cool if a trailer was released during the Super Bowl. Hell, I would just like to see cast photos

Setting it up like that has already doomed it for failure. Or at least moderate success at best. Billing it as the next iconic franchise almost assures it won’t be.
