By attempting it at all. The book is unfilmable.

>not trusting /ourguy/

He will do it and it will be kino as fuck

Simple, he won't.

by casting him

by hoping to God he does the same thing Peter Jackson did with LOTR, by having a long fucking production period.

>Denis Villeneuve

Duke Leto

>pottery

>even the shots of himself on set are kino

how does he do it?

By thinking one film will be enough

filter

I unironically like Lynch's Dune even though he's disowned it.

>even my name is a killing word
name a more alpha moment for a more alpha character, spoiler you can't

Lynch needed to do it in 3 movies

everything was kino

he won't, and he'll go on to do gravity's rainbow next

Denis will succeed where all others have or would have failed. Never doubt /ourguy/

The first book alone needs at least 3 films to even come close to telling fully.

telling fully is for plebs

God fucking dammit just picturing the visuals and the music in this movie is driving me over the edge.

I think he can make it look good and the story is already good, so he'd have to make poor casting decisions to really fuck it up.

It really doesnt though. It has a relatively simple plot mirroring the heros arc. It just comes down to what is unecessary for the individual directors vision. People claim it is unfilmable due to their thinking that the political intrigue is crucial to the plot... it really isnt.

The original has a very nice soundtrack. I hope they keep some cues from it.

Ryan Gosling as Duncan Idaho, calling it now

I know Kyle McLachlan almost certainly won't be in this, but a cameo role for him would be pretty cool.

should be a fucking TV show with like 2 season or a 10-hour miniseries

after blade runner, he wont fuck it up. dudes pretty good.

also im not implying this will be a bad thing but we seriously need The Goose as Idaho

>How will Denis Villeneuve fuck this up

by doing every dialogue scene on voice over

These books are a fucking bitch to adapt on screen for a reason. What works in literature is sometimes unworkable on screen. When you have a multitude of dialogues scenes in which more than half of the time is spent listening to the inner monologues of the several protagonists, it becomes really hard to make these scenes work for cinema. When Lynch co wrote his screenplay with Frank Herbert himself, there were many scenes that couldn't be done otherwise than with voice over.

Specifically the end of Big Battle.

The Toto soundtrack is the only thing with Dune that a lot of people never seem to criticise, rightfully so but it's sort of weird everybody loves to hate Dune but the soundtrack always gets a pass, some of the synth drones in it are amazing as well, sadly I don't think there's ever been a full release of it, I have the original soundtrack CD and there was an extended soundtrack I have on my HDD but don't own the disc of.
What's interesting is the tracks that are on both albums are either different recordings or different mixes, the Floating Fat Man and the main theme are quite different on both.

Villeneuve hated the voiceovers in the original Blade Runner so I think that could be a good sign.

A big issue as well was the studio cutting the film down from about 3 hours to just over 2 hours, and not allowing Lynch to cut it, so a lot of the voice overs were done simply to try and explain scenes that had been cut.

>that feel when you're watching something and there's a Dune reference but only you and probably 99 other people who watched it get it
Squidbillies, The Big Short

>DADDY! I'M SLEEPY BUT I JUST WOKE UP!
ummmm

I have complete faith that he will do it justice and make another masterpiece. He hasn't failed yet.

Depends how shitty the villains are. They were the worst part of 2049. Harkonnens are most entertaining part of Dune.

More of a Leto II.

1: weirding modules

2: Sardaukar wearing welding goggles and diving suits

3: harkonnen troops taking a mass shit on the landing field at Arrakeen before they leave (see: duneinfo.com/unseen/jodorowskys-dune-uncovered/16 )

4: Carlo Rambaldi guild steersman

5: sandworms look like giant penises

6: Peter Dinklage has a cameo as Bijaz

7: Harkonnen henchmen forced to rhyme

I like Lynch's dune too but he took a lot of retarded liberties.. the rain at the end just showed he had minimal understanding of the source material

it will be a 3 hour speed run of Dune II (Amiga version)

why cant they just skip the gay first three books and go straight to the good shit in god emperor honestly... paul atredes is not my emperor... leto ii and siaynoq not jihad guilt syndrome and qizarate... fuck

>first three books
>gay

>BOOM BIG REVEAL! check it out Ghani, I turned myself into a worm! IM WORMY LETOOOOOOOOOOO
>wah tfw no gf because I am a giant worm
>wah tfw cant fuck my gf because I am a giant worm
yeah real gripping stuff

...

Why even bother, Villeneuve will be to much of a beta to rape Frank Herbert

with love of course

Well sure but do you really know the books? because I fail to see how you could do bene gesserit dialogues without voice over. The box scene for instance. How do you convey what they truly are thinking then? A nod from the head from the actors won't be anywhere close to the substance of their inner monologues I mean.
Maybe you cut in the middle of the dialogues and find a way to expose information through flashbacks, parallel editing of some sort, something along these lines.
That's what Lynch tried to do.

That's just one example. There are many like this. The Baron, Kynes, Dr Yueh just to name a few. It's an avalanche of scenes that he will need to deconstruct and reassemble without any voice over. It's a colossal task strictly speaking from a scriptwriting pov. Not impossible, but tedious as hell.

I have no doubt he will make it look very good and he will hire competent collaborators and cast solid actors, but the scripts are what worry me the most and by far. These are verbose books, filled with a rich prose. Silent scenes won't help much here.
