Anyone know anything about the new Dune movie coming out? -

Some people have faith in it, I'm on the fence. I feel like it's one of those stories that is either unadaptable or needs like a full show to do, and I don't know if general audiences will be down with a protagonist that effectively becomes a "villain". Even if the adaptation is almost one for one there's always going to be those people who are unhappy with one or two changes, even if they're understandable.

Oscar Isaac (playing Leto) has referred to the feel as brutalistic, one insider compared the sets to BR2049 (same director) and one article is pre-emptively comparing it to Lord of the Rings. Fingers crossed, but maybe they can pull it off in a two part movie. It didn't work out for IT (in my opinion), but you never know.

the further Dune gets from Frank's prose the worse it gets
Movie Dune has some fun parts, SyFy Dune reaches further than its grasp but it tries

I've never understood why people keep trying to adapt this film. It's like the movie Cats. The original source material medium is the perfect one, and trying to make a movie out of it will result in something that just doesn't mesh. (That still doesn't stop me from wanting to see how Jodorosky's version of the film would have turned out. A 16 hour long epic starring Mick Jagger, Salvador Dali and a shaven Orson Welles as Baron Harkonnen dressed as a fruit salad. It would have been a once in a lifetime spectacle.)

50-50 chance of generic space sci-fi/fantasy movie with names taken from the books, or hilariously bad trashfire that pisses off all fans of the books and doesn’t attract anyone new.

Those are your options with modern sci-fi book-to-movie adaptations.

I have faith in it, but there are some poor casting choices in there I think. Zendaya shouldn't be in film, Jason Mamoa doesn't fit as Duncan Idaho, and Josh Brolin is iffy as well. Looking forward to a trailer still.
