Dune Part 2 2023 (24, 25, 26...)

[Timewalker]

I'd argue that Alia with her other memories was effectively many thousands of years older than the ghola Hayt created from the reanimated and repaired corpse of Duncan Idaho in a Tleilaxu axlotl tank. I can just imagine Hayt and the Bene Gesserit sisters singing "How do you solve a problem like Alia?" in a musical version of Children of Dune*.

ETA: *That would, truly, be an abomination. "Climb every sand dune..." "I am sixteen going on 50,000..." "The lonely Muad'dib"

I once worked on a production of The Sound of Music, and have (mostly) fond memories of it.

I'm strongly thinking of writing that crossover parody now, as the music is firmly etched in my mind even though it's been just over 40 years since we did that show.

They blinked.

Well shit. I am shocked. I wonder what Villeneuve, Legendary, and IMAX are all getting for this.

Well, IMAX are getting "The Marvels".

 

[Tallguy]

The sleeper is NOT awakening.

 

[Anson Mount Seleya]

Kind of disappointing, but truth be told not the least bit surprising. I guess all we can do is hope the strikes are resolved by March so it doesn't get postponed again.

[wayoung]

Fingers crossed everything works out and we'll get the second part...at all.

...although I hope your thread title here isn't as prophetic as your last one...

When are you all starting a holy war in my name?

So with the next Godzilla movie coming out 4 weeks later, I guess Dune loses its 6 weeks of IMAX exclusivity?

 

[FPAlpha]

FUCK!!!

Agreed.

At least it's getting made.

 

[JD]

I'm not surprised, but I am disappointed by the delay.

 

[The Nightmare Doctor]

This really sucks but not at all surprised...especially with the bullshit the studios pulled with their pathetic counteroffer.

When are you all starting a holy war in my name?

It's all my fault! I jinxed it!

You shall have a place of honour and power at the head of my Qizarate.

 

[The Nightmare Doctor]

Worth it!

 

[wayoung]

Worth it!

Let me know if you hear about anyone else in the Qizarate plotting to kill me with a nuke in an attempt to usurp my power, eh?

 

[Anson Mount Seleya]

At least it's getting made.

Even better, it is made. So we will definitely see it at some point. Just not until Hollywood Suits get their shit together.

...unless one of those assholes decides to bury it as a tax write-off.

(Yes, I know that's highly unlikely but I'm still very bitter about Batgirl)

 

[Anson Mount Seleya]

While that certainly is possible, I personally doubt it will happen with this movie.

And really, these tax write-offs are one of the most idiotic things I've heard of in the industry. But that's perhaps a discussion for another time.

 

[wayoung]

Empire magazine's Dune special dropped.

 

[Set Harth]

oopsie!
