Actually still got that mini series on VHS tape boxset (3 tapes), so it must be quite old. Might be worth 50p on ebay LOL.

Took some videos down to the local tip recently.

'Where do these go, in with the books or do they have their own bin?'

'Chuck'em in the hard plastics skip mate.'

I've managed to get my hands on a copy of the original movie, and I won't lie, it's hard going. It looks amazing, but the pacing is so slow I'm finding myself switching off and watching something else instead.

I think they went slow so you could get up to speed with the 'Dune' world of planets, the history of spice and how it controlled that part of the universe, and specifically who is who, without having read the books.

Its the atmosphere, the sets, the worms, the music, that make the film. It does fall down in places with some ham acting and some badly acted fight scenes, but overall quite a decent film to watch.

Deep interview with Denis Villeneuve about Dune. Set aside an hour.

Second trailer has dropped. God, it looks so mundane... How to turn a classic sci-fi novel into something generic.



If you're wondering what puts me off first, it's the cliched Hollywood dialogue rewrite.

Was The Sphinx part of the script-writing team?

To understand Hollywood scriptwriting, you must let Hollywood scriptwriting understand you…

If you think the dialogue is cliched, check out Hans Zimmer's trope-tastic sound desi... er, I mean score:



Desert = wailing woman.

Every time.

Sounds like he's been listening to the last few albums by Gary Numan and raiding Michael Cretu's Enigma back catalogue...
