You see little woman? Dudes fanfuckingtastic in that. Plays a 14 or 15 year old in that and times jump to him in his 20's and he does a amazing job in both time frames. Go see that movie if you haven't it's pretty damn good!
Yes, we found Blade Runner incredibly boring and a slog. Super excited for this though!!!
True. Mostly Marvel and Pixar. Star Wars came with a ton of baggage far before Disney aquired it.
It is gonna be Zendaya who is gonna pull millions of fans to watch the movie. Forgot to mention Jason Momoa too.
The fact that they thought that telling you the plot of the movie was a spoiler speaks to the marketing failure of BR2049. There is no reason they couldn't have said they were looking for the child of Rachel and Deckert in the trailer. The movie was sold on "hey look at how cool this looks" and if you have no connection to the original why would you want to see that movie?
People only watch event films these days. That's the problem.
Most people only go to the theatre to watch superheroes or star wars. Maybe take their kids to see an animated movie but that's it.
His movies tend to be very dark and drab. And not just visually.
Boring?
Those are his two best films btw.
Could be. but on the other hand it's going to be a long ass sci fi movie, like his last, which had a star filled cast too.
Uh not true
Knives Out and A Star is Born (off the top of my head) were a massive box office success and they're hardly what you'd call an event film
I haven't seen it. My wife mentioned it though. Might check it out. Thanks.
I love the BR world. Blade Runner is one of my favorite movies of all time. Arrival, I don't know what I expected. The big reveal was kind of underwhelming to me.
Also, I don't know who's complaining about Chamalet... I had to look up who he was when I heard he'd been cast, I don't think I'd even heard his name before. I sure as hell haven't seen him in "everything". I watched The King to get a feel for whether he could pull off a character like this, and the answer is absolutely "yes", he's a fine actor.

enemy, go watch it.
A bit confused by the complaints that Chalamet looks too old. He is a lot more boyish looking than MacLachlan and easily passes as a teenager, while being the hot young actor at the moment.
If you still want to try watching Villeneuves films, I would recommend watching Prisoners (if you like crime/thriller). Its pretty different from Sicario. Doubt Arrival is for you if you didn't like BR2049.
The political posturing in Dune (the original novel) is so thin as to be non-existent. You practically know the names of only two houses and everything else is the vaguest of allusions. There are words to the effect but it's all shallow background noise.
For better or worse, they're very different things. I definitely wouldn't try to sell someone on Dune with this comparison.
I am ridiculously hyped for this movie (these movies? Please!) though. Villeneuve and this cast are going to nail it. Zero doubts. Pls actually come out this year.
You think they choose a frame explicitly not on Arakis so people would know they can't predict the look of the entire film based on a single picture?
They don't even need to unveil anything from Arakis in tomorrows Vanity Fair piece. They could still focus on the opening and the Atreides family preparing to leave their homeworld.
very much so, one is a big spider, the other a big pebble.
Boring?
None of his works had the visual spunk that is needed for Dune, so I am hoping I will be wrong.
Bladerunner was visually the most daring but even there he made the world look bleak and without life, especially compared to the original.
Official title treatment:
Looks like something fox would cancel after 8 episodes
It may be the point but it's still uninteresting to look at.
Just because it's thematically appropriate doesn't make it any less bland.
I know it's not a lot to go on, but the big slab sided Highliners above Caladan give me hope that he'll go after the unexpected baroque and arthouse extremes that both Lynch and (nearly) Jodorowski were excited about.
Man what a take... blade runner 2049 - uninteresting to look at?
The houses Harkonnen, Atreides and Corrino take center stage in the first book but the other houses are represented through the guild - itself the real power behind the throne - and the other real power brokers are the Bene Gesserit, the Bene Tleilax and the Fremen under Paul. The politics are dense and constant across the whole series and the geopolitical allusions through energy and drug wars are deeply embroidered and reinforced. If you removed the Sci fi it would be a political drama imo.
Compared to the original? Hell yes
But everyone and his mom has tried to emulate the original so I guess I can applaud him for trying something different.
If watching Arrival all you said was look at that pebble in that scene........ IDK man.
Joke post?
Also, how dare he make the Blade Runner world look bleak and without life.......................
I think it's worth watching for the costumes and set designs, but as a film it is rather boring.
It completely fascinated me as a kid though because I hadn't seen anything like it.
Lol no. I'm a huge Lynch fan but his adaptation of Dune is pure garbage.
