Warner Bros. Delays 'Dune: Part Two' to 2024 in Hope of Hollywood Strikes Ending Before Press Tour
Warner Bros. announced Thursday that Dune: Part Two would be postponed until 2024. The official social media account now lists the release date as March 15. | Entertainment
Nah, if it's delayed, fine. I just want to know if it'll be a fantastic sequel like Empire Strikes back, Back to the future 2 or The Two Towers or something shitty like The Last Jedi.
Trilogies can only go three ways: greatness, mediocrity or scorn and the second film is a BIG indicator of that direction. Put it this way, a really bad second film can kill future installments like Pacific Rim 2.
Pacific Rim 2 had a lot of problems going for it, in particular the director/writer and producers.
The director/writer:
The producers:
Of those seven the last three were more to do with financing the film, del Toro's name speaks for itself, Mary Parent and Cale Boyter were also producers for the newest Dune adaptation, leaving John Boyega.
Easier to just quote an earlier post I made about this,
One of the worst things about Pacific Rim is that it may be the closest we get to a live action Neon Genesis Evangelion and as it managed to kill itself with Uprising even that hasn't gone very well.
That's probably a blessing, the Rebuild of Evangelion films satisfied everyone enough we don't need live action to ruin it, still have the ending song on my playlists because it was perfect to end the series.
There is also the advantage animation has over live action where it can completely suspend reality as well as explore concepts that are otherwise difficult to do well.
Pretty much, Time travel is one of those concepts that has flopped so many times in Hollywood and live action
Animated? Steins Gate, Re Zero, the entire tag of manga/manwha where you reawaken in the past.
It's a lot easier to do hard concepts and stories when it's animated because of the barrier to reality.
If people were satisfied with those I really have to question how low their barometer for quality and taste was, or if they even liked the original to begin with.
All I got from them was Anno hated what made him famous, and you for liking it (which we already knew), and he just wanted to milk it dry before burying it.
Going from memory, the problem is the original series didn't have funds to properly do it, it's why you had some scenes drawn out over the same background with only the audio changing and then led to the ending.
The end of Evangelion was made after a large amount of hate mail sent to the studio and him personally for the ending of the series and was a bitter response to all of that hate.
The Rebuild series of films actually worked when you pay attention to the titles of the films themselves. The fact that the 4th film isn't called 4 (because it's an unlucky number) and instead incorporated 1 and 3's titles (you cannot redo but you're not alone) and the additional character that actually represents his wife is good since the entire series is an allegory for depression.
The reason that thrice upon a time got a great response was because it felt like a proper conclusion and for depressed people (majority of Evangelion fans) a good message, you can't undo past actions but you're not alone so talk to someone about it. The series has been about not being trapped in fantasy and embracing reality which is actually the most anti left message you can think of so he's at least not woke.
A live action Neon Genesis Evangelion shouldn't be made by Hollywoke.
It's not a trilogy. While the maker has expressed interest in a third film covering the second book, his adaptation of Dune was always a two-parter. It's not really even a sequel, just a continuation.
Guess I was mistaken, swear I heard somewhere it'd be spilt into 3 films because of run time.
