Dune Part Two Release Date Delayed to March 15th, 2024
The movie's star-packed cast, led by Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya, can't promote Denis Villeneuve's sequel until the labor dispute is resolved.
dammit.
Beware the ides of March.
Really sad to read this
but better delayed and good than on schedule and badspecially since it's due to marketing reasons... it's the second part to a very successful first part, I wouldn't think it needs so much Marketing but I'm not in advertising.😭 noooo
The spice must flow
Fuck
What is it with movies releasing in two parts nowadays? Saw the same thing with Across the Spiderverse, and I guess the same thing happened to Ninja Turtles, but I haven't watched that one so I might be wrong. Fast X too from what I hear.
It's an adaptation of a book. And there's a lot of stuff going on in that first book. Most people are not up for a 5 hour movie.
It's not exactly a new phenomenon. Kill Bill did it 20 years ago. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and Twilight Breaking Dawn did it 12 years ago. The Hobbit was inexplicably split in 3. Mockingjay was a 2 parter. IT released as chapter 1 and chapter 2. Add to your list Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning which just did the same thing this year.
I much prefer a multipart film over a rushed mess. Dune is a great candidate, given that it is adapting almost 1000 pages.
Okay, it just feels like we've started to see a resurgence in this type of film structure because for a while we got a lot of one-offs and trilogies a format that I perfer because there's no need to watch the next movie to get closure for the last movie you watched. Now it seems that a lot of movies are adopting this big cliffhanger at the end of a story. It may not be rushed, but it's incomplete.
Fast X yes, Turtles no. TMNT tells a self-contained story with the sequel hook being in the mid-credit scene.
I gotcha, thanks for letting me know.
If this is part of the miserly suits of Hollywoodland in the process of getting battered, I accept it gladly.
But yeah... goddamn it.FUCK
3 years between movies.. ouch. The first movie didn't have enough heart in it for me I'm hoping part 2 improves on that, but I feel like most but not all of Villeneuves movies are more cerebral than emotional.
