LAS VEGAS—Debuting the high-budget sequel at this year’s CinemaCon, director Dennis Villeneuve confirmed Wednesday that Dune: Part Two will pick up right where viewers fell asleep during the first one. “I think audiences are going to love this installment, which continues the epic tale from the exact moment 30 minutes…
Dune in the style of French New Wave. Just a bunch of mundane conversations laden with layers of metaphor and subtext, and a bunch of unhinged, non-diegetic cuts to paintings and ordinary household objects as puns and visual metaphors for the dialogue.
The movie will run four and a half hours and only about fifteen minutes of it will not involve someone monologuing at length.
this is how god emperor was meant to be
Only if those 15, non-monologue minutes are spent watching a character slowly do a mundane task morosely with no sound but the ambience of a distant storm.
I think this would work particularly if every aspect of it is taken super seriously as an arthouse project, but Jason Momoa is directed to act like a big dumb action hero and filmed accordingly.
