Dune Remake

[𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔈𝔦𝔤𝔥𝔱𝔥 𝔓𝔞𝔰𝔰𝔢𝔫𝔤𝔢𝔯]

Huh, I thought it was just Eric Roth (with some input from Brian Herbert) who wrote the script?

Where did you read this Ingwar?

Denis Villeneuve has tapped his frequent collaborator Joe Walker as the Dune editor. This marks the French-Canadian director's fourth collaboration with Walker in a row, after they've worked together on Sicario, Arrival, and Blade Runner 2049.

Dune has long been a passion project for Villeneuve, who co-wrote the script with Eric Roth and Jon Spaihts.

Roth's script was supposedly something like 400 pages long, so Spaihts may have been brought in to whip it into shape.

Well, well, well...

Brian Herbert only ever mentioned Eric Roth in all his tweets about the script (up to the 4th draft).

I love Oscar Isaac. I want him in so much more. That guy is a great actor.

[Corporal Hicks]

Indeed. You can never have enough Isaac!

[MudButt]

Indeed. You can never have enough Isaac!

I don't know the Dune lore at all so I hope his role is a larger one. Isaac sometimes take these small roles and leaves an impact but I'd really like him to be apart of big movies like this in a large way.

[Immortan Jonesy]

He is amazing indeed. Keep it out Isaac!

Leto is a pretty big presence in the first half of the book, so Isaac should be in this movie a lot.

Spoiler

Don't expect him to come back in Part 2, though.

Now I just want to know who's playing Duncan Idaho.

[Nightmare Asylum]

Glad to see him in this but I was hoping he would be playing Idaho.

[KiramidHead]

I can only imagine that.

Spoiler

He'd make the version of Idaho from God-Emperor much less annoying, heh.

Yeah, when I saw the announcement that Oscar Isaac was going to star in the new Dune I though, brilliant - he's a shoo-in for Duncan Idaho.

Great to hear!

This cast is top notch.

Do we think this movie has a chance to make some money though? After Blade Runner 2049 I'd find it hard to believe that a property like this could succeed at the BO.

If it doesn't perform at the box office we're going to be left with only half a Dune movie. It's supposed to be two films.
