Seriously though. They’re putting it on hbo?

We’re never gonna see the second part made now are we?

In a recent interview, the Warner Bros CEO pretty strongly implied we’re getting part 2. I think part 2 is almost a certainty. I’d love to see at least five movies covering the next few books but that’s probably a pipe dream. HBO Max series might be a good bet.

I think it being on HBO Max is actually a good thing. You’re more likely to pull in an audience that isn’t primed to seek out Dune in theaters. You’ll get bigger numbers that way. I plan to play it on repeat for 30 days to pump up the numbers.

That’s good news.

HBO isn’t everywhere though. It’s only launching in Europe this season I think.
So how is it they make the money back and a profit enough to do the second?

As for the other books I got stuck on the one after dune. It’s really trippy and Paul’s a prick who hates his sister and loads of galaxy mapping mind trip stuff

Is it filmable? Probably. Will anyone who hasn’t read and is devoted to all the books know what’s going on? Very Probably not

If you think Messiah is hard to film, just wait until you read God Emperor wherein the main character is a sandworm.

You just sold me on that. I’m in

It always bothers me in fantasy/sci fi when a character says something like, “let’s get outta here” which is such a 20th century phrase. Takes me out of it.

Paul does this.

Spoiler: show

I agree with Burt 100% about where they ended it. That is a huge risk to do it that way considering they haven't even gotten the green light for another movie. Yikes. Just imagine if this flops and they don't do another one.
