Dune (October 22, 2021) | Part 2 (March 1, 2024)

[Bombur]

I've watched the trailer multiple times and it's been awhile since I've been excited for a film, a remake at that.

This is a new adaptation of the book, which in turn, does not make it a remake of the existing film. Denis himself has stated that he's going back to the book, thus taking nothing from Lynch's earlier work.

Was Peter Jackson's adaptation of Lord of the Rings a remake of Ralph Bakshi's film? Again, 2 different adaptations of Tolkien's novel(s).

[Rhyis.]

Every new Batman adaptation is a remake, every new Superman adaptation is a remake, etc, etc.

This is a remake.

Y'all gettin' real silly up in here.

[Salodin]

Unless this somehow takes place millenia before or after the original movie, this is a remake lol

ITT People who don't know what a remake means.

[Takiwaki]

I sometimes ponder that there are those of us who are ignorant to the meaning of remake.

See what I did there?

BTW people are mixing up adaptatoin and remake. A new adaptation of an existing story is not a remake. Man of steel is not a remake of Superman 1978. Lionking is a remake.

“Tenet” gave theater owners (and the rest of the industry) hope that “Wonder Woman 1984” would stay on October 2 and keep momentum going. However, sources tell IndieWire they expect that not only will “Wonder Woman 1984” be delayed, but also Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune,” currently set for December 18. While “Dune” released a trailer September 8, it came with no release date.

“Tenet” and “Wonder Woman 1984” each cost around $200 million in production, before marketing. “Dune” is likely in that range, given that “Blade Runner 2049” was $150 million. Even if the studio conveyed that the business for Nolan’s film was encouraging, any delay would suggest not enough to justify releasing these titles into a still-shaky theatrical ecosystem on the schedule planned.

The pushback suggests long-term concerns about theaters’ survival. New York and Los Angeles, the top two markets, are still not guaranteed to be open by early October. Even with seating limitations, exhibitors haven’t faced sold-out theaters. “Tenet,” with its staggered openings and three days of sneaks in the U.S. before a Thursday opening, may have lacked the major impact of a communal event that can build excitement.

Haven't watched the trailer sooner because I was tired of shitty Dune remakes. Holy shit I wasn't ready for this. This actually looks good.

Warner Bros. and Legendary are moving Denis Villeneueve‘s Dune off its December release date and will unveil the epic sci-fi movie on Oct. 1, 2021, Collider has exclusively learned.

[Tyrath]

That's probably the most realistic delay I've seen if they want theater release. Even then I don't know if theaters will be packed

[Qalbert]

yeah i'm not surprised it got delayed, but the severity of the delay is more pessimistic (albeit realistic) than I anticipated

Holy shit a year?!! After they already did all this promo? Movie theaters are dead

<sigh> I knew this was going to happen. It's a good thing though. This deserves to be seen on the big screen with a good sound system.

Rumor: Will Be Released in Theaters First, then Streaming 45 Days later
https://deadline.com/2021/05/hollywo...av-1234758654/

WB signed a new deal with Regal Cinema for future releases to have a 45 day release window before heading to the streaming service and Dune is said to be part of that deal.

[Tyrath]

That's fine. I'll probably feel fine going to theaters by then

[Greedouw]

Shit, I’d go to a theater tomorrow to see this

Pretty much. This is definitely the first movie I'm going back to theaters for.
