I mean, Dune is the LOTR of Sci-Fi right ?

So a 3-Part movie a la Peter Jackson with today s technology and a great filmmaker at the helm, who would not want that ?

 

Not really. LOTR is all about likable characters. Nobody's likable in Dune so forget LOTR boxoffice unless Denis injects warmth into characters and casts actors who project it.

Britain's best director isn't even a full Brit. he's an Irish-American (Nolan).

Canada's pretty much New Hollywood now. Makes sense that their filmmakers would become more skilled at working the system

[shayhiri]

The Shay can hereby GUARANTEE to all interested parties that the francophone director should be the LAST to thank if this turns out good.

 

It would be the writing, the setting, the actors, THE LEGEND that is Blade Runner - that all make this good.

 

What the Shay expects from Monsieur Villeneuve (guy sounds like a Bond villain, doesn't he) - is just to not fuck things up (too much).

yeah, Canada gets it. No wonder TIFF's the most important pre-awards festival cause the audience pulse is compatible with Hollywood, unlike Cannes or Venice. 

 

@shayhiri damn you decoded the mystery! Monsieur Villaineuve is going to play Bond villain not direct.

I think some  might be conflicted because having a Dune trilogy would take up a significant chunk of Denis' time, for a director in his peak form, the trade off would be a few really fantastic original films I suppose? Kind of like how some people think of Avatar 2,3,4, and 5. Though I would much rather have Dune series than Cleopatra or a Bond movie done by him.

Although Dune, the novel, is divided in three parts, I think it could work quite well as two movie adaptation, with the first movie ending when Paul and Jessica find the Fremen

[FantasticBeasts]

This is so breaking out. It will be big.

Warner Bros are only distributing it due to their output deal with Alcon so while they'll won't make much money from it, they'll still get to be part of a critically acclaimed film. Sony I imagine are hoping to least break even with it as they contributed around $100m to the budget with Alcon the remainder. 

Does that mean WB will get the state side profit? Because if so, they will make A LOT of money, seeing how the didn't actually pay for the movie, only for the distribution.

The profit won't solely go to WB; the production companies will get some of it and maybe Villeneuve/Ford/Gosling if they have backend deals.

WB will get a distribution fee and small percentage of the profit but Alcon will get the majority since they financed it.

I'm planning to watch the first film for the first time this weekend. I'm pretty excited

Regal's doing a double feature on Thursday.

 

Would be cool but Indians playoff baseball is cooler
