My brother took his two oldest grandkids to see Grinch and all three of them had mixed feelings and according to my eldest Grand Niece said to her Grandad that this film was not that good and they were really down about it. I was planning on seeing it too and based on their judgment(s) -- I'm not going to bother with it.

Looks like the Dennis Villaneuve's Dune movie will go into production next month and they've made some casting news, having cast Dave Bautista recently, but what role hasn't been confirmed though some sources are reporting he will play The Beast Rabban. -M |

More Dune casting news... Stellan Skarsgard is set to play Baron Harkonnen. I really like Skarsgard, so this is excellent casting as far as I am concerned. Though curious is they will go practical effects or CGI to achieve the floating. -M |

I saw Vice and it has a cameo from Galactus. For real.

Joking aside, is there any hope this new Dune film will be the first of a series, or at least a duo of films? I still think that first book has way too much story to fit into a single movie, even a longish, 2h+ one.

I think I read somewhere the plan is for 2 movies, but I can't find where I read it to confirm. It was a while back when Villeneuve was announced as the director. -M |

Three would be better, but a duo, hopefully both long ones, is more encouraging than the single I had been afraid of.

Not many details yet. As far as the casting goes, Rebecca Ferguson, Skarsgard, and even Bautista sound all right but I'm pretty sceptical about Timothée Chalamet - as unfair as that might be, since I haven't seen him in anything. Don't like the looks of him much, though, for the character he'll be playing.

When, I was in Atlanta ... all of my friends saw a Midnight Showing of Stan and Ollie and it was unreal, fantastic, and very well made movie and I really want this movie on DVD. Highly Recommended.

Don't like the looks of him much, though, for the character he'll be playing. I don’t know, I think he’ll be a better fit than Kyle Maclachlan (at least physically). Paul is described as being small for his age, and he should definitely look young, and Chalamet does look like a kid. He was fine in the only film I saw him in ( Hostiles), although it was a small role. I guess we’ll have to see if he can project the charisma of Muad’dib, which is a tall order. I have the utmost fate in Villeneuve, though. One thing that has me worried (perhaps unduly, but still) is that Dune is essentially a story about hard core islamists waging a holy war against a capitalist system that looks a lot like our current western world (one military superpower, a few large corporations and the equivalent of the senate all pulling the blanket in their own direction). Presented like that, it sounds a lot more like “Al Qaeda against the US” than “Rebels against the empire”. Is the market ready for that? (And if there’s one aspect of Lynch’s Dune that I didn’t like, it’s that the Fremen’s islamic roots were completely evacuated. I hope Villeneuve doesn’t go that way for marketing reasons). |

I'm cautiously optimistic about the new Dune adaptation, primarily because of Villeneuve. I thought the Lynch film was terrible (but haven't seen it again since it first came out, so maybe I'd feel differently today?) but very much enjoyed the 2000 mini-series with William Hurt.
