Looks good. Hopefully this spin-off hits the mark and provides further world building.
kinda off topic, but are there any sci-fi franchises that are universally accepted right now? I get that "universally accepted" is probably impossible right now
Maybe CBM's can fall under this category, but even Marvel movies have fallen off...if this show lands, can Dune really be the next big thing in terms of sci-fi franchises for the next decade or so?
trying to engage in convos...not sure how I even see this myself at the moment, but in terms of big franchises none of them are really delivering (Star Wars, Marvel, Star Trek, etc...).

Not too recent but both Blade Runner movies were great but not box office hits. I think there's also an anime but I haven't watched it.

LOL at Denis also being the director behind the second BR film. Same composer. I preferred the original more. But liked the tone, atmosphere and soundtrack of the second movie.

Just watched Dune 2.
Twas decent, but some pacing issues for me, and like most movies, these "bad" guys they introduce are gobsite. Rabban was a coward, Feyd-Rautha was meh.
Harkonnens got washed at the last battle so easily.

I wanna see it, but good luck with a Dune movie past part 3.

Are they making enough money to justify a Part 4?
At least WB will have a skeleton to make future movies. Another great director/writer comes along, you could easily have another trilogy.

I was actually supposed to go to an event for it in NYC this Thursday but couldn't make it. Think it was a screening

It could be a search function issue but it seems like most of the new shows/movies regardless of the streaming service aren't being discussed on NT anymore.

Has anyone watched Dune: Prophecy?
It’s been renewed for Season 2.

I like the show. Not in love with it if that makes sense. Not the way I got into the movies right away. It's a different medium and it's not directed by Villeneuve so I had to adjust my expectations.
The happenings got me interested in the intrigue as the season went on. I feel like the show will get better as the seasons progress if it gets there. Don't feel the hype for this even something like Westworld had. I hope the show can be successful enough to survive past season 2.

Yea me too. I like the show but I believe they will find their footing hopefully in Season 2 but we will see.
I would like a series centered around the war against the “thinking machines” and how they survived and moved on from that technology. Would be really interesting to see.

Yeah that seems interesting to me but for some reason sci-fi tends to yadda yadda yadda pass that part.

Probably be too similar to other shows/movies I guess.

I enjoy this season. As a non book reader the universe is just so interesting.
