holy shit, Dune has been on my mind after really enjoying Part Two but I had completely forgotten this show was even a thing
The movies don't really get into this yet, but one of the central conflicts of the books is that the universe stagnated for a long, LONG time
Okay, I'm stupid. I viewed the opening of this seeing "an IMAX original", was somewhat confused but excited before the reality quickly hit! Still, it'll likely be on Sky Atlantic / NOW TV here in the UK, so I look forward to watching it later in the year.
In the meantime I'm going to imagine getting to watch a complete IMAX screening of the Last of Us!

Eh, as someone who has read a good amount of Dune books, its lore is an ocean wide and a puddle deep. So, curious how they can handle a long-form series. I feel that Dune only works in short bursts, where we rarely see the larger universe and its working.
I didn't realize this was dropping this year. Some clips definitely look like a tv show (sort of cheap) but I'll absolutely be checking it out.
I dont recall seeing a single casting announcement for this show. I wonder if it costs more or less than a season of House of the Dragon
I think a lot of, most even, sci-fis are like this. You just have to go with it.
I think the books have quite a bit of depth even if feels like Herbert was making some stuff up as he went along. That said the issue here is this is based on his son's work and the dude is definition of a hack.
have you read the pseudo canon encyclopedia? It adds a lot of context the books are missing. I'm sure none of that will make it in here though
Is Brian Herbert bad because his storytelling sucks or because his very premise flawed? Would more talented writers/directors be able to tell a better version of his stories?
After all the mess bts I'll wait for reviews to get hyped on this one
It's a six episode first season btw

He's just bad all around. I mean the prose isn't terrible but its just hackneyed generic scifi plap that shows a real misunderstanding of what his father was writing.
It certainly doesn't help has worked with Kevin J Anderson
Looks fine but yeah the book is trash so hopefully it can get some good showrunners to craft gold out of dross. If it was on Netflix or Apple TV+ I would be a bit more invested, being on HBO Max is worrying since they can't really afford to be long term right now, and I'm not sure this is the kind of show that is going to draw new subs like House of the Dragon.
On the flip side HBO really doesn't have a lot new coming this year so it may do well enough.

Which makes sense since technology has not progressed at all and in some ways regressed.
