Another Dune Remake?

The sleeper has awakened.
I couldn't agree more. The SyFy series will be the benchmark on how I grade the new movie.
I heard about it, then watched the preview.
Paul Atreides looks effeminate, like a soy boy. Don’t like it.
I liked the three part series that came out in 2000. Wasn’t perfect, but I liked it. Didn’t like the movie with Sting.
“disastrous movie that came out in 1984.”
WTF?
You need to be REALLY high, and then watch it.
The Floating Fat Man is mind blowing.
The Beast.
Alicia Witt, before Hallmark.
Young and smoking hot Francesca Annis.
Draft Spaten and some Kona Gold in yer Hookah
I wish more classic sci-fi novel series would get a high end tv series treatment today. The right way to do something like Dune, the Demon Princes or the Berserker series isn’t a movie in 2020. Or in the case of Dune a pair of movies.
Of course trusting them not to make random characters homosexual for no reason beyond ‘inclusion’ would be asking a lot. So on the other hand maybe it’s better they stay away.

My question is that whoever is playing Feyd Rautha isn’t listed in the cast, so is the character not even in the movie? Seems weird as he’s Paul’s foil.
They’ve been out of original ideas for years. Can only make re-makes now.
Looks good. I’m looking forward to it. But they cast Imperial Planetologist Liet Kynes a woman. I don’t know how the purists will react/are reacting to it.
FWIW, I enjoyed David Lynch’s movie from the 80’s, even though it felt incomplete and rushed. The two Sci-Fi Channel miniseries from the early 00’s covering the first trilogy I thought well done on balance—even excellent in places—despite the cheap production and uneven casting. I like it better than Peter Jackson’s treatment of Tolkie’s material.
The documentary called “Jadarworky’s DUNE” that was released some years back was also very entertaining and enlightening concerning the efforts he and others made in getting Frank Herbert’s book to the big screen.
Hopefully it will not be as dull and have an ugly character like Baron Harkonnen to stare at as in the 1984 Dune movie.
I think Dune is one of those properties that is impossible to effectively translate to the screen. I’ve believed that for years.
Why be so human-centric? Let the worms win this time!
Yep... A total LGBGT cast will guarantee box office success...
The make new “Dunes” every year during hurricane season at the beaches.
However, I’m still in love with Sean Young.
I’d rather have a good Starship Troopers movie.
I’ll watch it. I LOVED the first one. Especially the 4 hour version.
SPICE!
The 1984 movie was generally pretty good.
The new one, which has been under production for some time, is cinematically spectacular.
Not sure I like this incarnation of Paul, though.
Uncanny ability to take a terrific book and destroy it through film.
Too many lazy minds feel Dune is the book In movie form and they have no idea just how deep and rich and complicated the story is.
I see they re-did “ THE STAND “ and Woopi Goldberg is in it. May not watch it.
