Dune: Part 2 (October 20, 2023)

[6souls]

In what comes as no surprise, the sequel for Dune finally has been greenlighted for an October 20, 2023 theatrical release with director, producer and co-screenwriter Denis Villeneuve returning.

The key word here is theatrical. We understand that a key point of negotiations between Legendary and Warner Bros was that Dune: Part Two would be given a pure theatrical window; no day-and-date HBO Max release plan is in the mix for this cinema spectacle.

WarnerMedia Studios and Networks Chair and CEO Ann Sarnoff told Deadline in a sit-down last week that a Dune sequel was definitely in the cards, with Legendary carrying 80% of the production cost and Warners the balance.

“Legendary is pleased to officially move forward with Dune: Part Two … once again based on the amazing books written by Frank Herbert,” said Legendary. “We would not have gotten to this point without the extraordinary vision of Denis and the amazing work of his talented crew, the writers, our stellar cast, our partners at Warner Bros., and of course the fans! Here’s to more Dune.”

The real Dune II

That game was the shit and proud of the fact I beat that game with all three houses despite the annoying space port bug that caused constant restarts for me.

This was the command and conquer-ish type game right?

[Melena]

Yeah, was one of if not the first rts to come out.

It obviously hasn't aged well at all. Dune 2000 fixed a lot of things. Probably the biggest was being able to group command units. Original Dune 2, you had to order them one at a time.

I played Dune II on the Sega Genesis. Never beat it because fuck microing on a controller lol.

I rented it, and god that game was an abortion. RTS games will always suck on a console unless it has usb keyboard/mouse support.

I fucking loved the first part so much and I hope the TV series is still on with at least half of the same production quality.

2023?? That's so far away/sadface

17 months ago medical personnel were getting the first vaccine shots and delta was raging. Not that far away

[Outlaw]

One of the last people I would have thought of as playing the Emperor. I'm not complaining though!
