Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, he endeavors to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WittyUsername Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I’m about three quarters of a way through the book, if it means anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valonqar Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) Hope you like it enough to read at least DUNC Messiah after. I think Villeneuve will adapt that one after DUNC II. He said he would love to. Edited July 20, 2022 by Valonqar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadOlCatSylvester Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 So... how much are we all willing to bet this gets put into turnaround by the end of the year, if not outright binned? Zaslav is not fucking around, and that should leave us, the children of Arrakis, worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully due to Legendary funding 75% of the cost of the film that won't be the case, at worst I can see it shifting to another studio (along with Legendary's entire distribution deal) Apple would likely be the front runner given they have green lighted a Monsterverse TV show and have the $$$ that the rest of Hollywood is struggling to find right now.

Valonqar Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 DUNC II isn't comparable to Batgirl. It's safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valonqar Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 DUNC II is WB's Oscar favorite for 2024 awards. It's also second movie in what they hope to become a franchise. Villeneuve is interested in at least one more, DUNC Messiah. They didn't cast some big names that have limited roles in first 2 movies for show. Thier roles grow in Messiah and beyond.

I'm not sure how the cancellation of two direct to streaming films has lead to unnecessary freaking out over Dune Part II. The correlation isn't there.

Therefore if he cancelled DUNC II we would have achieved Thanos level. 🍹 Edited August 2, 2022 by Valonqar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
