Dune (Denis Villeneuve, October 1, 2021) Movie • Page 8

i think we still might. it's extremely late in the year and was always planned on being the big prestige end of year blockbuster. maybe they push it back, but i think we'll still get it

and if anything, it'll clean up more at the oscars than expected before

 

I just fear the other films getting pushed to Nov/Fall that they might move this to March/April.

 

I really hope we still get it.

 

It was long since done with production. If they could finish post remotely (which is certainly possible), there’s a chance it could be finished in time for its release date. Only problem there would then be whether it needed any reshoots. Also, just because it’s ready for its release date doesn’t mean it’s going to come out. They’re not going to release it if the theaters aren’t open yet still.

 

*looks at release date: December 18th, 2020*

*cries*

 

I would be prepared for this to not be fully over until early next year at the earliest, barring some miracle cure being discovered.

 

Yeah theaters not opening at all the rest of this year would be crazy

 

That photo might be a crumb but it is the crumb that I needed to keep going. Need a trailer so bad.

 

Seriously can’t wait to see how vibrant and alive Arrakis will be compared to the Atredeis homeland

 

Ugh really hope this doesn't get pushed back.

 

I don't love it

 

It reminds me of a TOOL album.

 

I quite like it

 

I wonder if they're going to drop a trailer soon? I feel like with the movie's release so far away, they might actually start trying to market it on the off chance that it actually still comes out on time.

 

Vanity Fair said they're going to post a deeper diver on the movie tomorrow.

 

My guess is Dune either comes out as scheduled or it is moved to May. I imagine they’re going all or nothing on it at this point.

 

Like I said yesterday, it all depends on whether they needed to do reshoots or not first of all, and then whether the post-production work can be finished remotely second of all. There's a chance this movie isn't even done in time for December if they still needed to do literally any amount of reshoots, let alone the delay happening because movie theaters are still all closed.

 

I'm gonna be mad if it's able to come out but they replace it with a Marvel movie or some shit

 

i’m less worried about the theaters not being open. i have to imagine every studio is coming up with a contingency plan for VOD since they can’t just delay everything indefinitely.

but the reshoots part is a very real concern

 

Also apparently the Trolls release was surprisingly lucrative, it’s definitely weirdly gonna be seen as a huge test case. What a blah movie to be inadvertently historical.

 

You'd have to think Trolls is lucrative because children are home from school...and people working from home are doing everything they can do entertain them.

Dune wouldn't have that kind of audience.

 

I mean regardless, studios are still watching it super closely.

 

Dune is going to eat up the annual winter MCU/SW/blockbuster audience with nothing else in that space. You’re definitely fooling yourself if you don’t think this movie would have been huge in theaters, and will probably be huge if it goes to VOD at the same time, with nothing else coming out.
