Dune [Part 3] Messiah 2027 (28, 29, 30...)

Also the movie will be accused of ripping off The Matrix Revolutions.

All movies and entertainment are a "rip off" of something else. I saw someone on Blacklist say that Star Wars is a rip off of Dune. I heard an interview with (I think) Willie Nelson who said he got one of his songs from someone else. Unintentionally, but it happened. C'est la vie.

Absurd.

Star Wars is a ripoff of The Hidden Fortress, Dune is a ripoff of Lawrence of Arabia.

 

[Bekk Ishy Z]

Absurd.

Star Wars is a ripoff of The Hidden Fortress, Dune is a ripoff of Lawrence of Arabia.

Exactly my point. There's elements present in this film and that tv show and those books. It's all copied somehow from someone else.

 

[Set Harth]

But my point was that saying Dune Messiah rips off Matrix 3 would be like saying the third Hobbit movie ripped off Game of Thrones.

 

[Bekk Ishy Z]

And, they likely did in one way or another. And LOTR borrowed from King Arthur thru Merlin. None of it's original except for how it's constructed.

Not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying I don't put much credence to those claims since it's all borrowed from someplace. I'm sure someone can say Shakespeare "ripped off" Homer in some form or fashion.

 

[Starkers]

Absurd.

Star Wars is a ripoff of The Hidden Fortress, Dune is a ripoff of Lawrence of Arabia.

I watched The Hidden Fortress for the first time a few weeks ago and yeah the similarities are amazing (but then so are the similarities between SW's final act and The Dambusters)

I do always love it when people claim things have ripped off other things despite existing before the thing they're supposed to have ripped off (see Judge Dredd is just a rip off of Robocop for example!)

 

[Bekk Ishy Z]

My favorite offbase theory is that Robocop is based on a comic, when it's the other way around. Robocop was a screenplay and a movie first. The comic came after.

I thought they were all shameless cash grabs to sell toys. So the toys must have come first!

 

[Set Harth]

Well with Transformers that's literally true!

I suppose we need more than grains of salt right now.....
But yeah....

[Set Harth]

He's doing more of these sci tales lately...

 

[FPAlpha]

Honest to god he's put Twillight WAY behind him, all the recent movies i've seen him in were awesome. If he's indeed joining the cast i'll be happy to see him.

Absurd.

Star Wars is a ripoff of The Hidden Fortress, Dune is a ripoff of Lawrence of Arabia.

??Lawrence of Arabia was a biopic. The story of Dune was inspired by T.E. Lawrence. Herbert had already been working on the novel for years by the time the Lawrence of Arabia movie was released.

Lucas never denied that, did he? I thought he was pretty open where his inspiration came from. Didn't he even say he originally wanted Minoru Chiaki for Ben Kenobi?

He wanted Toshiro Mifune.

He wanted Toshiro Mifune.

Oh, thanks for that. Must have got that confused over the years.

I believe Set is being humorous, but Herbert had the idea of his "ecology" novel for a long time before it was ever fully written.

If they're doing Messiah and Children together, he's probably playing Prince Farad'n(SP?). If it's just Messiah, only character I can think of would be Scytale...

 

[Nerys Myk]

Edric is a possibility

 

[Mage]

Curveball......

The movie is told from the perspective of Paul's son, Leto.
