Dune will struggle to make money. It must have cost a fortune.
Honestly it is one of the most beautifully realised films I’ve ever seen. It isn’t light in any sense though and the source material is far better suited to a mini-series.
It’s not hard to see why Denis Villeneuve wanted to do it though. I have been fascinated by it since I was a lad and it seems impossibly huge to contemplate making profitable films from.
I just want to see the details thoroughly explained and shown in a way that no film ever will.
He did give it an admirable shot though, so hopefully he gets a crack at the second half.
I really need to see more sandworm action and a guild navigator up close.
