Plain Old Tele Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) Leave it to fish to turn a Nolan thread into a PJ thread.That being said, the idea of him doing DUNE is awesome. It fits well with his intellect: coolly distant, rational, somewhat clinical, but thought-provoking.

Totem Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 PJ is cheap so he deserves cheap shots. It`s really sad how much he`s pandering to fanboys and bloggers in order to be liked when there`s only one way to get appreciation and love - make better movies than dire KK and absolutely abominable TLB. No amount of sucking up to Knowles and TORN will change that.There is a difference between being yourself/down to earth and 'pandering', PJ fighting the unions with all his might during pre production just proves how dedicated and passionate he is.

fishstick Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) There is a difference between being yourself/down to earth and 'pandering', PJ fighting the unions with all his might during pre production just proves how dedicated and passionate he is.Considering that his cast complained about low pay I`m wondering what passion we are talking about here. Passion to pay actors less sounds about right. Though I must agree with him that Shitto, Wenham, Astin,etc didn`t deserve better pay.Also, the guy isn`t down to earth because filming a movie about barefoot people while walking around barefoot isn`t down to earth. It`s a stunt, an image-making. And hobo dressing isn`t down to earth either when coupled with a request to change river run so his estate can have a lake.

It`s an intellectual phylosophical book with some cool action but definitely not a summer blockbuster type. IMO, book split in 2 movies would be totally justified too.

JackO Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I hope he does another original film. I want to see what else he can bring to the table. Inception was great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vc2002 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) You know, the fact that many people here want him to do adaptations next is kinda ridiculous. I mean, we always complain about how hollywood now lacks originality, and then when a guy full of ideas and also proven to be able to make his ideas work came on the table, you want him to do adaptations? WTH? Edited June 11, 2012 by vc2002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTH?I'm a big fan of original films in general, and of course I'd welcome a new film from him.That being said, I'm a huge science-fiction fan too, and there are many classic SF books that either haven't been that well (DUNE) or haven't been done at all (countless, but three that would be awesome are Rendezvous With Rama, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, and The Mote in God's Eye).

Fakhir Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I will love to see do another original film but if he is to adopt something, i want him to turn the "Foundation" series into film, could be a good match for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTH?hello, most people stated they want him to do something original but if he has to adapt something since Hollywood adapts a ton so it`s likely he`ll do something like that in the future, people listed some stuff. Also, the man himself said he`d love to do Bond and those movies are really the same movie over and over again with different Bond girl and villain. So they are even less original than adaptations.
