Prometheus planet is... Arrakis!!!

If they had filmed in Morocco perhaps have seemed much to Arrakis. By the way, I wonder if the worms of Prometheus made ​​spice with their poop LOL

The mini series was a good effort, but ultimately a failure. The more years go by the more I think the aesthetic for Dune that Lynch achieved was pure genius. Just get Lynch himself to whack in some modern, high-quality CGI for a few scenes in the 2nd half of the film and you would have a v. popular DVD re-release.

@alteredstate, love both versions...

No one could have done that better than Lynch.

It would have been good. The artwork was good. Though im not sure about Dhali being the emporer

I tried, but I found the effects was a bit cheap. I was looking forward to the movie they were going to make, but strangely it's been shelved. It might be due to George Lucus making a life long career of ripping it off.

lol i wonder how ridley would of handled it he was on board to but decided on blade runner instead. The film version i mean.

Dear Ridley: Please direct the future remake of Dune... From all your loving fans worldwide.

Read the book, it's by far the best work of scifi ever. This thread has made me smile I assume the squid is the sandworm, is shaw therefore a bene jessurit witch? And Patrick Stewart is the head statue. Lets hope Sting doesn't turn up, Joking aside its definately Arrakis

mmm some thoughts have a certain sound.

Fear is the mind killer

did any of you guys see the mini series with william hurt did you like it?

So the Baron was really transforming into a xeno over time... GOT IT! http://movieclips.com/rzgbP-dune-movie-baron-harkonnen/

so, the Davids= the mentats? lol quote from Lynch's Dune: It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.

I second the above ^^^^

Man, I do love Dune! The first time I watched it I was 8 or 9 and I just fell in love right away! (it was also the case with Alien, only Alien was waaaaay scarier) It was a "non-comercial" movie with a very deep political story (the movie failed to show it 100%...) that was doomed to fail. Just too complicated for the mojority of movie viewers looking for some dead aliens. I'm happy that the movie has gained some status with Sci-Fi fans over the years. Well, I don't know if the blue guy is on spice (or steroids; he IS pretty buff! I'll have some of what he's having ;) ) or the Baron was turning into a xeno... but he sure looks like he's bumped into one, head first!! I guess this is one that could easily earn a remake, IMHO.... but then again, no remake if the powers that be don't see a profit on the horizon. Anyway, June 8 is just too far away... missing some (new) good Sci-Fi ;)

agree, Lynch was just perfect to direct this.. must have been a real pain in the arse to do it, because Scott quit.. I love it. [URL=http://www.imagebanana.com/view/9rv3vtsu/08dune7.jpg][IMG]http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/9rv3vtsu/thumb/08dune7.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
