IMAX confirms that Denis Villeneuve’s Dune 3 is to release in 2026, though there might be a question mark over its Dune: Messiah title…
If you download this PDF report from the Q2 2024 IMAX Investor Presentation, there are charts showing which films are being produced with IMAX in mind all the way through to the end of 2026.
IMHO Villeneuve has made two damn near perfect Dune films so far, roll on the next.
People get hung up on deviations from the books. Duh, it’s a different medium. That’s like complaining that a painting of a sculpture doesn’t capture the far side of the sculpture.
The second one put me to sleep.
Legit it felt like an extended montage, not a movie.
I wanted to like it so much.
I never find movies boring unless they are straight up bad. Slow pace doesn’t bore me at all.
It wasn’t the pace being slow, it’s that instead of content being present - the viewer is left to fill in the details of what has happened. I watched it more than once to capture all of the film. The narrative, in my opinion, skims the surface of what’s going on. We skip large parts of the story.
The second one was mostly action. Personally I thought it was a lot more entertaining than the first one.
I have a feeling this is something that will be debated for a long time lol
I love that analogy. 👏
