something concerning i noticed

 

The script was written by Villeneuve, Eric Roth and Jon Spaihts. Villeneuve is also producing along with Mary Parent and Cale Boyter.

 

That's not concerning at all. Really, even if you don't like the movies made from a screenwriter's prior credits, it has very little to do with whatever movie they're currently working on -- especially if their credit is shared with other writers.

[JGAR4LIFE]

I trust the former two especially Villenueve since he’s directing his own script as well.

Timothee looks more villanous on that picture, tho.

I believe the plan is the first book, split into 2 movies.

[Alli]

the baron is supposed to be fat. will stellan pull a christian Bale?

[Valonqar]

Doubtful they'll go beyond first book (split in 2) as sequels are not well regarded and most Dune fans ignore their existence. I read first 3 and didn't hate Messiah and Children. Sy Fy adapted all 3 when I was a kid, and I recently revisited the series. In the big cast of laughably bad actors McAvoy shone for real, his success isn't a fluke. 

 

@Alli Maybe they should have just rented Bale while still in character.

I'd love for it to be super-successful just so they adapt GOD EMPEROR OF DUNE and all of its batshit-craziness.  

[Alli]

what about the release date? next year?

[filmlover]

WB has nothing for October 2020 at the moment so I imagine this will go there.

[Elessar]

Avatar and Dune in the same year. Excitement overload.

Their Fall Sci Fi tentpoles almost always do gangbusters. I hope this does too because the book really deserves it. I still can't get over Chalamet for Paul though. Ugh.

Unless they rush it out, I doubt it. If anything this should hopefully come out in November/December 2021. Gives the post production enough time, after all we don’t even know when production will start.

I'm firmly outside any sort of Chalamet camp, but he seems like a great choice: he can play young and he's an excellent actor. I'm not sure how many other decent options there are.

You should have zero concerns when Villeneuve and Roth are also writing
