    Frank Herbert's Dune

    This thread is back from 2 years, and we now have a replacement because Peter Berg has decided to go hunt aliens on battleships. Liam Neeson as Duke Leto! Who's with me? http://variety.com/article/VR1118013297.html?categoryid=13&cs=1

    Hey Old Guy, do you know any numbers on Doctor Parnassus?

    New Years Weekend Box Office: 'Avatar' rings in the new year with lots more money!

    That's great for Avatar, and at least we can all agree on one thing, we won't have any idea what the sequels will be about. So have any of you heard about the expansion for Doctor Parnassus (Heath Ledger's last film by the way) this weekend? It's playing in some 500 theaters and is just as...

    "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" Pre-Release Discussion (Spoilers)

    That was a hell of a trailer, too bad it's only for the UK since we got nothing here though. The film is going to be released on Christmas Day but only in a platform release(meaning only the big cities like NY and LA.) However, this can change with anyone of you. If you go to...

    The Official "Watchmen" Movie News & Discussion Thread (Possible Spoilers)

    Third... NOT!!! I'm being cautiously optimistic about this at the current moment, but compared to other teasers that came out before TDK, it blowed the roof. (TDK kicked major ass as well.)

    The Best Superhero movie of 2008: Hancock

    Heard the film just got an R-rating, don't know how that will bode for the box office. http://firstshowing.net/2008/05/06/hancock-is-a-darker-blockbuster-than-you-might-imagine/

    "King Kong (2005)" Talkback (Spoilers)

    Kong the creature was awesome, but I also thought PJ got full of himself with this one though.

    This Summer's Most Successful Blockbuster

    Too scared? Chickens... You're forgetting Will Smith, regardless of what you think of his films, they're all blockbusters(except Bagger Vance), and if a movie about a lonely man walking down the abandoned streets of New York was able to make a fortune(all by himself), then Hancock should be...

    Movies you think are underrated

    The Rundown is a fav of mine, a fun good ol' time. I guess bad timing didn't turn it into a hit.

    "The Shawshank Redemption" Talkback (Spoilers)

    Screw that, Heat would've destroyed both of those movies if it were nominated. Too bad it didn't.

    Oliver Stone's "Bush" Movie

    Ugh, not interested. I was interested on Pinkville though, though it's dead cause of the strike.

    Movies you think are underrated

    Judge Dredd was a fun one. I saw on cable a week ago called Broken Arrow and I thought that was a lot of fun, and seeing John Travolta as the villain was interesting. And I love the music, I miss 90's action music.

    Dan Simmons' Hyperion to be adapted by Warner Bros.

    Trevor Sands will write the script, who we know nothing about other than he's working on a various number of science fiction projects at various stages of developments. At one point during the last few years, it was rumored Martin Scorsese was very interested in directing it. That'd be awesome...

    "Terminator: Salvation" Pre-Release Discussion (Spoilers)

    With James Cameron 'unofficially' watching this production, the movie could be in good hands. And I believe Sam Worthington can potentially be one of the greatest talents cinema will ever have. He has found his genre in this and of course Avatar.

    What's your most anticipated movie(s) of 2008?

    Indiana Jones, The Dark Knight, and Hancock are primarily the only movies i'm really interested in. Indiana Jones for well... Indiana Jones Dark Knight because the first one was that damn awesome! And I expect Nolan to do the same here. I like seeing how Ledger would do as the Joker. And...

    "I Am Legend" Talkback (Spoilers)

    It's one of the best films this year... so long as you're not expecting it to be exactly like the book, but i'm hoping for a director's cut though. I look foward to Hancock (Will Smith superhero movie), but that's mainly because Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights, The Kingdom) is directing. I...

    Frank Herbert's Dune

    I'm not so sure either, but then again, I thought the same about Jackson when he was announced as director of LOTR, and he suprised the hell out of me. Well, we know he's been a huge fan of the novel for quite some time, so if this guy has the same passion as Jackson has for LOTR, then i'm on...

    Weekend Box Office: 'Why Did I Get Married' is new champ!

    I'm all for Gone Baby Gone next week. Mystic River was a favorite of mine and this has a more epic feel to it. Michael Clayton was somewhat numbing, but it had a great ending though.

    Weekend Box Office: The Rock follows 'The Game Plan' and lands at number one!

    Whether it's a mess or not, i'm curious about it(Texas being nuked, America being a fascist state, an energy machine that is about to rip the space-time continnum, lesbian neo-marxists, and a porn star version of The View, all seems like something out of a Vonnegut, Thompson, and/or Dick novel.)...

    Frank Herbert's Dune

    Here's another candidate that can possibly pull it off: Darren Aronofsky (with a $200 million budget that is). Seeing the Fountain is almost as exactly as I would imagine Paul being in that trance.

    Frank Herbert's Dune

    What I meant was the Spike Jonze music video "Weapon of Choice" from Fatboy Slim. He has a good visual style and I like BJM, so I think if he plays his cards right he'll pull something like this off. And here's a funny thought: Terry Bradshaw as Gurney Halleck. :p

    Frank Herbert's Dune

    A dancing Christpher Walken with the lines "Walk without rhythm, and it won't attract the worm" might get your attention. It's been proven that in either two or three hours, you just can't do the story justice. Each part in the book had it's own system of how it works and you can easily take...

    Frank Herbert's Dune

    Pre Lord of the Rings, that would've been true. Now anything's possible. Of course they would have to divide it into two or three films though. After all, the book was divided into three parts. Sorry, I can't tolerate the Sci-Fi series(had it been HBO or Showtime I might), they had all the...
