might as well delay it a year and be sure it will come out. This delay for a few months and then another few months is almost worse.. if it can't come out by this time next year then we all in trouble0 -

Dune is something that's kind of always been there for me for a number of reasons - the original Lynch movie (which came out when I was pretty young; I can remember my older brothers watching it but I still haven't seen it) and Toto's involvement in the same movie. Then when I learned Denis Villeneuve was going to make a new movie, coupled with Neil Fallon recommending it as one of his top 10 books, I decided to buy it around 2 years ago. I made a couple of attempts to read it and failed due to its immediate denseness...however I got the proverbial out recently and finally finished it last weekend. It's a mind boggling book in so many ways and, I must admit, a bit of a slog at times. Overall though, it's hard to deny its genius and its (continued) influence on Sci-fi is clear to see too.
I'd avoided as much as I could about the movie (and this thread!) as I didn't want casting announcements etc. to cloud my experience of reading the book. But, having finished it I finally watched the trailer last weekend and wow, it looks incredible! I really think the casting is pitch perfect across the board, I see some have questioned Jason Momoa's involvement but when you think of Duncan Idaho's involvement in the first book he's pretty much on the periphery of the storybefore he apparently dies (I see he plays a bigger part in the other books - thanks for the spoiler y'all!. I also couldn't give a crap about the gender swap for Liet Kynes, it doesn't make much of a difference to the story and I've no issue with 'balancing' out the cast a little more considering all that's gone on (sorry to open that can of worms again!). Oh an the the jaw dropping size of the worm at the end! :eek: Here's hoping this does come out next year and flying over to the BFI Imax is back on the cards.
)
Anyway, it's going to be a long 12 months and I'll just have to re-watch the trailer another hundred+ times in the meantime. I really hope it does well enough for the second part to made otherwise that'll be an absolute killer! I might start reading the other (FH) books too, but I think I'll give myself a breather before diving in again...I'm curious to see how the story develops though, especially considering the ending for the first one. Oh and I should probably finally give the Lynch movie a watch too (expectations are low!)!0 -
