lorddemaxus Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Said this about part 1 on this forum but there's stuff in this that's reminiscent of South Indian cinema. More filmmakers need to do the main character walks in slow mo as everyone else looks at them in awe/terror bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daxtreme Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 That's also a staple of anime. Denis said recently that Akira was an inspiration for Dune Part II, and... I can see it, actually 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't get that out of my head when rewatched it on Tuesday. That influence you can definitely see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see it, actually Denis is probably the only filmmaker I could trust on that Akira adaptation. Would probably still be a bad idea though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlatnumRoyce Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Any chance the name of the thread can be changed? It's annoying to be unable to find it because it's using characters to represent a font change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpiderByte Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I don't know if it wins. Academy is stacked against Sci Fi. Messiah, from.my understanding, does play more into the type of stuff the Academy likes so it may stand a better chance, especially if they actually make it the finale. Though if that one does comparable numbers one wonders if they may decide to just continue without Villeneuve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustLurking Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 This is not going to win in the above the line categories, y'all need to be realistic. The 1-2 punch of sci-fi+middle chapter is just way too much, if any of the Dune films win it'll be Messiah and even then I will be skeptical of the academy actually rewarding a hard sci-fi film. I'd take a Villeneuve nomination atleast though. They atleast owe it that much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vale9001 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) Oppenheimer is a biopic movie please. It has Nolan influence in the directing style and in part of the structure. For the rest is the Historical period drama biopic (even related to world war II !) Academy loves 😆 In terms of "now Academy could like blockbusters - cinecomics- b movie inspired action movies" the win last year of "all at once" was way more significative. Dune is absolutely not an Oscar bait movie. Edited March 11 by vale9001 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlatnumRoyce Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 WB has Dune 2, Joker 2 and Furiosa, three sequels/spinoffs to big blockbusters with a massive amounts of awards love. However, that also means the three films will often be competing for the same spot(s). Feels like we need to see Furiosa/Joker first before predicting Dune 2's awards reception too strongly.

Furiosa and joker 2 i don't think are granted success in terms of Academy love. Imo sequels Academy could ignore if they don't bring nothing new after the first movie (see black panther 2 or how avatar 2 got only 3 technical nominees against first movie 9). I see Gladiator 2 being the other sequel- blockbuster could take the love this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was more that because all 3 films are from WB, WB is going to essentially to pick one of them as their main horse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dune 2 moved to 2024 and Color Purple flopped, so WB focused entirely on pushing Barbie which didn't win anything except song.

For sure, and he has mentioned as much too. In that interview he just stated five different films that influenced him regarding different aspects about Dune and Bergman was about close ups. I don't think David Lean was so far away in that regard too when having Lawrence of Arabia and Kwai river footage roll in my mind when writing this. Bergman was just over the top in framing close ups with faces. Lean is definitely the overwhelming "one" as an influence. Lawrence of Arabia is one of my all-time favorites too and I watched the Bridge on the River Kwai multiple times when I was a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
