I think we could use a really good and faithful remake of Dune. I'd go see it.

This looks fucking awesome!!!! Why isn't this more famous?? How is the movie? The trailer surley teases for a fantastic old-school sci-fi at its best!!!

A brilliant movie and history!!!

I think the reason why this flopped is that just like the book, this movie is better enjoyed in a comfortable chair in your living room. As a blockbuster movie to excite and entertain with popcorn and a pop it's not that good.

@dvsxavier but I don't think that movie adaptions even should be completely true, blade runner is hardly true to do androids dream of electric sheep....

@dvsxavier

yeah, I know....it's "Alan Smithee" who made the extended version....but with dune, the problem is deeper....david lynchs original version was a lot longer than the released version, but the company forced him to cut it, he did...but he also opposed the extended version, I'd die to see his original cut, which will probably never be released..

yeah I think i prefer the "final cut" of blade runner...

That's freakin' awesome, had to be science fiction and had to be Lynch ;)

@majakovskij61 Movies adapted from books rarely hit the mark. It's NEVER a true adaptation. But there are films like the Fight Club, Shawshank Redemption, and even the Watchmen that are superbly directed and enjoyable to watch.

@majakovskij61 You should know this, but David Lynch disowned the extended cut. Frankly, I agree with him. I still feel his version is better.

Producer's shouldn't direct, that's why they're called producers. It's rare to have box office success like Geroge Lucas. Dune didn't make money much like Blade Runner. (You probably enjoy watching the producer's version of Blade Runner too.)

You're free to disagree...

Frankly, I prefer the Directors' cut to Dune and Blade Runner.

@Kemonokami agree....it's a good allegory for both the oilwars and the oppression of arabs....

[majakovskij61]

@dvsxavier i disagree.....the extended version explains a lot of things necessary for the story...have you read the books? my point is that people who haven't read the books will probably feel confused when watching the original.....

[majakovskij61]

@vetegrodd I think it's not more famous because it was a disastrous flop, by box-office standards, though.....

needless to say, it's a cult hit, getting more and more followers, it may not reach up to blade runner standards, but hopefully close to it...
