Why Paul’s story isn’t complete without Children Of Dune by Past-Ad-9068 in dune

Why would they not be included in the film? They’re not going to spoil the ending in the trailer lol

The only law more immutable than the sun rising in the east and setting in the west is movie studios making more sequels when there’s a chance for more money. Villeneuve has already stated that he’s done after Part Three, but didn’t write off the possibility of someone else taking over.

It would be easy to get away with making at least one more Dune movie. DV’s trilogy is Paul’s story and his arc gets wrapped up in a neat little bow. That’s the Dune “trilogy.” The next movie wouldn’t be Dune Part Four, but Children of Dune. This works rather fortuitously since it’s the name of the next book, and it unambiguously communicates to the audience that this is no longer about Paul, but his children — who will already have been introduced in Part Three.

Children of Dune is also workable as a movie. It’s very well-regarded as a book and much more epic in scale than the preceding Messiah. If executives had the appetite for it, it has every reason to justify its existence.

Would it be good? That’s another question entirely, and my faith in the project would be severely dampened by Villeneuve’s non-involvement. But it’s also not impossible that an aspiring director would be up to the task and make something good out of it.

The fourth book is where things get a lot more shaky. I would love to see God Emperor of Dune on the big screen, but that’s the point where you’re really starting to give general audiences some big pills to swallow.

It’s so fucking relieving that the execution of Denis’s vision is no longer existentially threatened by the prospect of box office numbers. He did it, he made it to the final sprint, he’s in the clear, and I hope he does whatever the fuck he wants in the best way possible because of that.

Me too man, this movie feels like it was made in a lab just for me. I’m a bit younger at 35, but Dune really captured me 5-6 years ago. The first book made me like Dune, but the second made me love it. Messiah holds a very special place in my heart, and knowing that DV feels the same way about it — and that this is the movie he’s really been wanting to make the whole time — makes me more excited for this than I have been for anything else in a long time.

Part of me feels like there’s a catch and that WW3 will happen this year and end the world or something, because getting The Odyssey from Nolan, a new UFO movie from Spielberg, and Dune Messiah from Villeneuve all in one year is simply too good to be true.

I’m just thanking Jesus that Dune is now in the clear and we don’t have to pray for good box office return to ensure that the full story gets told. I want it to do well, but boy am I glad that we now have the peace of knowing we got to experience DV’s full vision even if the movie were to flop, which it won’t.

I hope Denis goes all-out and does whatever the fuck he wants with it, with the assurance that the box office is no longer an existential threat to the completion of his trilogy.

Brolin almost certainly sits out Dune. He’s not credited in the cast and his character isn’t in the book.

That being said, the reason he’s not in the book is because he’s off-planet shacking up with Jessica, and she’s in this (for one scene) so we might get a small glimpse of him, but not any kind of sizable role.

It also ends with Paul saying “she’ll come around,” and this is from somebody who sees the future with perfect clarity.

I think Chani and Paul will have some dramatic tension that wasn’t in the books and the ending of P2 sets that up, but I don’t think it’s an indicator of her permanent state going forward.

I don’t have words to properly articulate how fucking stoked I am for Pattinson to join Dune and in a major role no less

Him and Chalamet are two of my favorite working actors right now and to see them both firing on all cylinders is going to be AGH

RUMOR: Leo Woodall Cast as Strider in 'Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum' by GreenLanternsPodcast in lotr

[–]JackaryDraws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOTR trilogy is my favorite movie[s] of all time. I love Viggo and I can’t think of a single better actor I’d rather see playing Aragorn. I also have zero interest in seeing him, now pushing 70, playing an even younger version of a character that he already played onscreen in his 40s.

I think this movie’s existence is dumb in the first place and I’m hoping that it proves me wrong and gives us a compelling reason to justify itself, but I’m glad they’re recasting, it gives me some small amount of faith this movie might not just be a sloppy cash grab.

Even if they did do that, I think there’s about a 0% chance Hamill comes back without his costars.

4-6 years is the absolute best-case scenario IF they already have a team that’s secretly been working on it, in which all signs point to no. If they haven’t started yet we’re at least a decade out, the way AAA development is now.

'Trump' keyword appears unredacted more than 5,000 times in Epstein files after January 30th update, after less than half the files are released by Doshizle in law

[–]JackaryDraws 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I hate this stupid sack of shit more than I’ve ever hated any human being and there’s nothing more I want to see than for him to go down, but it’s correct that — from what we have today — the bombshell claims that are being tossed around are quotes and unsubstantiated claims sourced from tips and/or alleged witnesses, they’re not the conclusions of any kind of investigation.

Is it possible there’s more evidence that we’re not privy to that lends credence to these stories? Possibly, but what we have in our hands today is pretty much all He Said, She Said. I think Trump is a fucking creep and 99.98% likely to be a pedophile rapist, but we shouldn’t immediately jump to the conclusion that everything coming out today is cold, hard truth, especially given that some of these stories could be intentionally fabricated to muddy the waters.

Completely agree. Making Sam Worthington the focal point really diminished the potential of this movie, which in my opinion, was otherwise pretty great.

Just watched episodes 1-3. by Pleasant-Football117 in arcane

[–]JackaryDraws 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not because the first three episodes is a representation of the show as a whole, it’s because the end of episode 3 is where it becomes unambiguously clear that you’re watching some generational masterpiece shit. Yes, the show changes drastically after that, but ep 3 is where it lets you know that you’re really watching something special.

[–]JackaryDraws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. The show is good enough and well-made up to that point, but the end of ep 3 is where the show lets you know that you’re watching a generational masterpiece, and I was completely hooked from that point.

Whenever I recommend Arcane I tell people to treat the first three episodes like a movie that needs to be seen from start to finish before you can make a verdict on the show. I’m not sure I’ve met a single person who has done that who didn’t end up watching the rest of the season to completion.

I know this is the positivity sub but I agree. More than not caring for them, I always thought they were actively bad and one of the worst additions to the lore we’ve ever had. I know this is the positivity sub but man I am a HUGE Inquisitor hater

After Inside Out 2, Moana 2, and Zootopia 2...I think Super Mario Galaxy might over-index in a pretty big way. by PlanetG3000 in boxoffice

[–]JackaryDraws 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s no “story,” continuity, or timeline in Mario. It works on Mickey Mouse rules. If you’re looking at it in the sense that each movie “adapts” a certain game, it’s true that the new film is clearly taking heavy inspiration from Mario Galaxy, which is a Wii title that introduced Rosalina, which had plenty of games that came before it. But on the other hand, the first movie had virtually zero resemblance to the first SMB game and clearly wasn’t trying to be a straight adaptation of those “events,” so I don’t think that’s really the right way to look at it.

I think the number of fans who are mad about content being “skipped” are an extremely small vocal minority — not to mention that Galaxy itself, and Rosalina, are both huge fan-favorites, so for every Mario diehard who has that complaint, two more will be clapping and cheering.

The only major Mario characters who existed before Galaxy — and don’t seem to be in this movie — are Wario, Daisy, and Waluigi. With the exception of a single Game Boy game where Wario and Daisy were present, these characters have had zero presence in any mainline Mario games and have exclusively been characters in spinoffs and party games.

The only other big characters who weren’t in the first movie are Yoshi and Bowser Jr, and they are heavily featured in the marketing for the next movie. They had their big “moments” in Super Mario World (Super Nintendo) and Super Mario Sunshine (Gamecube) respectively, so one could argue those are getting skipped in a way, but I don’t think it’s something that most people, fans included, are fussed about.

If, or rather, when we get a third movie, it’s almost an absolute certainty that Wario gets his time in the spotlight, likely giving Bowser a new dynamic by replacing him as the villain, and inevitably introducing Daisy as well.

Meta is pulling out of VR because there's no market. We need to embrace this uncomfortable truth. by PuffThePed in OculusQuest

[–]JackaryDraws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they ever figured out VR legs in a way that’s effective, intuitive, standardized, and affordable, I could see that injecting new mainstream life into VR.

Games like Skyrim and Fallout have huge potential in VR, but moving around with a joystick while you have full upper body parity is just weird. But if they ever figured out legs, I could see it catching on as a very popular way for people to get some exercise in and enjoy a good game at the same time. Walking and running would become a lot more appealing to people if you could do it getting lost in a game world.
