DUNE (Remake)

[P@t_Mtl]

Best way to make Dune, a HBO series with 13 episodes for each book.

I did enjoy the David Lynch movie, somethings I did not agree with, like some of the actors were actualy to old for the characters they were playing but it was a good interesting movie.

The mini series from a few years back had more flesh on the bones and so made things more interesting.

Now and HBO series would be the way to go on this. They would need a huge budget for this, though. Don't want to make it look lie a sci-fi, sorry I mean syfy original.

Obviously works in reverse.

I saw both, but the original movie will always have a special place. I love how it looks, how it feels, the actors, and everything else about it.

A remake would be fine and I'd probably enjoy it, but the original movie will be tough to beat in my eyes.

Even a Lynch failure is more mesmerizing than most directors' great films.

You know what I just thought about - I would love to see a remake of Dune directed by David Lynch. A reimagining of it with today's technology and the same trademark Lynch weirdness. That's the only Dune remake I could get behind 100%. I know it will never happen.

Im a fan of both the Lynch film and the sci fi version. Both capture the look and feel of the novel, but in different ways. The mini is much truer to the novel but the way Paul and Leto r written always struck me as off key. The characters seem truer in the Lynch version but so much of the plot is left out it usually just inspires me to reread the book.

As for Berg, I like some of his work, especially the Kingdom. I really see no need to remake this movie. The novel is so dense it needs the larger canvas that tv offers.

I love the movie but I find myself enjoying the miniseries more. I can't wait for the miniseries to be released on blu.

A HBO miniseries would be best probably.

I also think a similar style miniseries for Terminator, set in the future war post Salvation would be nice. Kind of like a futuristic Band of Brothers.
