I don’t know about that. I can see it doing at least as well as John Carter of Mars or Tomorrowland or the Lone Ranger. I think the trick will be to spend as much as possible making the film. Whatever a reasonable budget would be? Triple it.

One little bit of confusion in regard to filmmaker Denis Villeneuve’s currently shooting adaptation of Frank Herbert’s iconic sci-fi novel “Dune” has been that of its length. Specifically there’s been talk that, much like the recent adaptation of Stephen King’s “IT,” it is going to be spread across two separate films which won’t be shot […]
Things just got shakier. The adaptation of Dune that releases next year will be a Part One that adapts half of the book, a second film covering the second half of the film will then follow later. It's a fine enough plan if you make them back to back but at the moment it seems to be unknown if that will be what happens, otherwise there's the significant risk that the first part doesn't do well enough to warrant putting the second part into production.

Trailer:
I'm honestly not that familiar with the property so this me speaking purely on a first viewing basis. It looks like it has all the smooth, classy filmmaking you'd expect from a Villeneuve film and I think many will adore it. But it reeks of being the type of film that would have tanked pre-COVID let alone now and the 'epic' last shot just made me think of the Tremors movies

But like I say, looking at this I reckon chances are that I’m going to love this.
