God, I hope not.
shareLet's hope it is a flop, the original was, and the story sounds fucking boring.
The 1984 David Lynch movie is a classic and very, very good. Frank Herbert's novel is also quite good. This new story might be good but I doubt it.
shareThe 1984 David Lynch movie was so bad it was good.
It's a bizarre film for sure... and I don't even know if I would classify it as "so bad it was good", because acting wise and visually, the movie was and still is quite stunning. It's easy to forget that it's filmed on sets, and it actually looks like an epic sci-fi story unfolding on a foreign world.
But it's hard to get into, only a few characters are relatable, and the story beats aren't entirely cohesive, but it is entertaining and has some highly memorable sequences. Also, Sting was super awesome in the film.
Frank Herbert's novel is outstanding. They wouldn't have tried to make two movies based on it if it wasn't.
Not a reboot , not a remake and nothing like John Carter , do you realize this is an adaptation from Frank Herbert's novel?
