Dune Club II coming soon: Dune Messiah. Good, they skipped that one in-between.

Honestly, this sounds really bad.
Star Wars is for all ages and certainly for adults, too. The idea it wasnât is a classic reflection of a half-grownupâs ignorance. Entertainment and reality are not the same and people wishing it was make me wonder if they donât just seek to be entertained by reality.
Iâm hoping that if, or when, they reboot Dune that it is then not some attempt to copy Game of Thrones, because the later is often seen as being âfor adults onlyâ when really GoT is just the attempt of one writer to combat said ignorance and viewer expectations by being random.
The recent trend in film and TV to make something seemingly for adults is starting to turn me off. I actually loved Star Wars: Rogue One for depicting sacrifice in an entertaining way. Sacrifice is not something that should only be seen as being tragic, and every time it is it gets interpreted as âfor adults onlyâ.
Lynch is an Avant Garde film maker, not a fiction filmmaker
This is the problem of modern film industry, PG ratings. Producers want it as lower as possible to gather the crowds. So most scripts suffer a lot from that thinking.
Star Wars are also rated and I think itâs somewhere 10 or 12 so not for all ages. After watching episode 7 and 8 of the saga and Rouge One, I hope Dune reboot will be similar to second franchise.
I donât even discuss comparision SW to Dune, itâs light years distance. SW have not enough spice to even get close to Dune 
A bit of avant garde in art, costumes, sceneries? I have nothing against it.

But is it really the ratings that deserve the blame? If I was to watch only adult-rated movies then Iâd basically be watching porn and bloody horror films.
I believe a story worth telling is one that can be told to many, and in many ways. And when a film has been given a high rating then it is more often than not just a bad film in my experience.
So I donât see ratings at fault. These only do what theyâre supposed to do, being just ratings, and itâs the producers, who fail at making good films who also try to work around ratings, instead of trying to produce better films.
What about story that is already liked as determined, as whole, scenario that is devoid of nonsense and plot holes, and is de facto canon and completely superb to any machinations that anyone could do with it? But then again maybe the best way of doing it would be to just read book with ilustrations. Or comic book.

For some producers may this actually be the best way, meaning, they shouldnât be doing films. But the adult-rated film market isnât exactly small either, but has plenty of customers.
Ye gods, this video. How can you pronounce Denis correctly and go on to say Vill-uh-noov?
In any case, I really enjoyed The Arrival and have yet to see Bladerunner 2049 (câmon already Netflix). Dune has been done and redone so Iâm split on this being a good idea, since theyâre never going to capture the nuances of the novels. But for a âcondensedâ version, I suspect Villeneuve is probably the best man for the job.
Jodorowskyâs Dune. How a movie gets made or didnât get made. Well, a documentary got made.
