- ovi256 16y agoIt's safe to say that the new Hollywood remake will be quite successful, but never influential.
- hugh3 16y agoWhy's that?
- sabat 16y agoTwo (fairly bad) versions aren't enough? They need to trash it again?
- stcredzero 16y agoI think a Dune project aimed squarely at capturing Jodorowsky’s original vision would have tremendous traction. It would be perfect for the 3D techniques developed for Avatar. The techniques in Pixar's palette would be awesome if turned to this purpose, especially if they used a different art director for each planet/culture. Lord of the Rings was covered by Bass and Rankin and Ralph Bakshi animations before WETA's LotR movies. It was LotR that finally did full justice to those properties. (Though I really like Bakshi's movie. He just didn't have enough funding to do 3 movies.) If I were a Pixar competitor, I would look seriously at Dune. The religious/economic/political issues Dune covers would really resonate right now.
- jcl 16y agoFWIW, some Pixar guys are currently looking at John Carter of Mars (although it's going to be a non-Pixar film). Like LotR, it has a mottled history of attempted adaptions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Carter_of_Mars_%28film%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Carter_of_Mars_%28film%29
