In terms of story beats the first Dune movie shares quite a few similarities with the first few season of Game of Thrones, which did resonate with people. They could have emphasized the great houses political intrigue angle. But I'm not sure if selling sth as the new GoT would be a wise decision after GoT crashed and burned.

There are several new pics on that account, but the ornithopters stood out to me, it's just fantastic design.

The ornithopter looks perfect

I know there are film critics who are upset about this and understandably so.

I'm guessing he's referring to critics and the DiscussingFilm account Is being purposefully vague.

I think he's talking about how critics get to see the movie.

[ThomasNicole]

He's talking about critics, still people are pissed with him for his complains.

 

Is ridiculous how a director spend 5 years making a movie, then the studio put it on streaming without talk to him, and he can't even be frustrating about without people attack.

 

The movie will be available at home for free the same day, watch it and shut up. Let him be upset, it won't change the fact the who wants to see at home will watch it.

 

And there's nothing wrong with him asking for at least press watch it the way he wanted when he make. There are vaccines available, by October the big cities will be requiring the shots to make theaters a safe environment, why press are so upset about? If despite all the efforts for make theaters safe some critic still want to review it by home, wait until October 22 and watch it on HBO Max, problem solved.

Yep it's about critics cause there's already lots of anger among them on twitter. They say this is an insensitive decision due to rise in delta. So I don't know why DiscussingFilm is vague since it's easy to check the context.

Seems like it was taken out of context and isn’t even about critics.

 

 

[Valonqar]

LOL.

[Last Man Standing]

New day, new inane controversy due to translation issues. Social media is so tiring sometimes.

[Darth Lehnsherr]

I assume the people who mistook what was said will admit they were wrong right?

Bomb at the box office, probably bit better in HBO max

[Valonqar]

Nope. People are sleeping on Dune's boxoffice potential and you are forgetting that it's coming out in Europe in September so no HBO Max there. Venice demand for Dune ticket shows bigger interest than what naysayers believe. Granted, we are talking about festival crowd whose taste is a bit different from an average movie goer, but they were very receptive to Joker (includes winning the Golden Lion) and they are obviously super interested in Dune. So bomb it won't.

[Nikostar]

Won’t be surprised if this Bomb like every WB film this year.

[EmpireCity]

Fuck the online film twitter dorks.  Guys like Scott Wienberg are the absolute worst.  Nothing more than an angry burnout that burns every bridge he ever came across.
