Last November we had the opportunity to attend an exclusive twenty-minute screening of ‘Dune: Part II’, the highly anticipated second installment of the monumental adaptation of Frank Herbert’s science fiction classic that Denis Villeneuve is carrying out. Of course, it is early to give an opinion, but we can assure that there are reasons to think that This new installment could be even more stimulating than the first. We tell you why.

My friend, it lasts two and a half hours and barely covers the first third of the first book. If it were any slower it would just be hours of shots of a rock being eroded by wind.

And they would call that, "The Making of (a) Dune".

I'll see myself out.

[–] ours@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

If Villeneuve is still the director, I would be watching it anyway.

Ssssh don't give them any ideas for the third installment.

[–] Beetschnapps@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Yea but it could have hit 3 hours if they had written in Legolas.

I wouldn't mind some 'uncomfortably long' shots of rocks or something after the more storyful scenes. Like a 20 minute segment with no dialogue. We don't get enough of that.

Would go great in a spiritual scifi whose protagonist is a planet.

Yeah it's time the Slow Cinema movement turned its eye towards sci fi. :D
