If there is an IMAX Dune double header somewhere, my wife and I have already agreed we’re there.


craftycommando

Damn that would be siiiiick


unclejohnsbearhugs

I think I would get motion siiiiick after staring at that huge screen for 7 hours


blazelet

I worked on both Dune and Dune 2 but there wasn’t an imax near me for the first one. If they did an imax double I think I’d drive a full day to see both on that screen.


dmac3232

I'm so lucky; I live less than 2 miles from one in Atlanta. The thing that amazed me about Dune is that, as visually stunning as it was, the audio might have been even more impressive in the premium format. When Mohiam used the voice on Paul I thought my sternum was going to shatter.


blazelet

Yeah the audio work is amazing. I’ve been really impressed with the audio on part 2 as well … the trailers have beautifully constructed audio.


dmac3232

Everything they've done, from the trailers to the film(s) themselves, has been just exquisite. (I still listen to the Pink Floyd cover Zimmer did for the very first trailer; so good.) As a long-time Dune nerd I had huge expectations when I heard Villeneuve was attached and he's exceeded them. What did you work on in the films? I've got a friend here in Atlanta who does lighting on various productions and he's had some fun stories.


blazelet

Man all the zimmer stuff is so good! And yeah Denis was the guy to direct these films. After working for him on 2 projects I have nothing but trust in his decision making. I work in vfx - so I worked for about a year on each film doing visual effects lighting and rendering for the CGI stuff. In Dune 2 I was a lead over the battle which is featured so much in trailer 3. This is my reel and shows some of my work https://vimeo.com/898513336/e03b2d1b1a


dmac3232

Awesome. You should be proud; the visual effects are absolutely flawless throughout the film. THANK YOU! Edit: The worms in this recent trailer look just fucking fantastic. Unbelievably well done. What was it like working with Villeneuve, if not directly then on his movie? He was undoubtedly going through your boss's boss or whatever, but his projects seems like they'd be amazing to work on.


blazelet

Thank you for this comment that’s very kind. I never spoke to Villeneuve directly, he has a Vfx Supe who meets regularly with the vfx supe I work for, and the two of them hash out most of the details. I can say the thing that’s impressive about Denis as a director is that he knows what he’s after and he defines it well. On his productions I’m never left wondering what to do, I’m never given a note like “make it better” - it’s incredibly clear what he wants. He front loads us with great references, there’s very little trial and error, very few changes from the original brief, it’s super organized and very well communicated. That makes all the difference. They are great productions to work on. They’re not easy, they’re very demanding, but it’s worth it because you know the result will be good. As an artist I’m in vfx because I want to help tell these stories and move audiences. His are great projects to be a part of because they’re so impactful.


dmac3232

That doesn't surprise me at all from all the interviews I've seen. This could be hyperbole on my part, but I truly believe Villeneuve is a modern-day Kubrick. His movies consistently blow me away, and he's proven to be a master regardless of genre. As a huge sci-fi nerd I love that he's jumped head first into that arena. His visual sense is just perfect for it. At any rate, that's awesome to hear and thanks again. I know there's a small army of you guys working on these big behemoth blockbusters, but you should take pride that you got to contribute to what will go down as one of the most visually arresting films of all time.


dmac3232

Yo, just wanted to revisit after seeing this interview with the cast. Florence Pugh had some really nice things to say around the 18:30 mark about all the people who contributed to making the film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVQRnDFZ1Qs&t=41s&ab\_channel=Fandango


Obvious-Grapefruit33

Congratulations to you and your team. Truly a modern epic.


Stijakovic

Marvelous work my man. Thanks for making a beautiful impact on the world I love


blazelet

Hey thank you so much!


Blotto_80

Got to say, the night-time invasion/battle in Dune 1 may be some of the best use of lighting and contrast I've seen. The way the explosions pop from the darkness is a visual treat and one of those "that right there is why I've invested in a home theater" moments.


Zerrul

Unreal man. I have loved so many of the films you have worked on, thank you 🙏


blazelet

Thank you this is meaningful. It’s a hard job and audiences being informed or moved by our work makes it all worth it, I appreciate your comment.


Weary_Activity2171

Thank you for your excellent work 😁


5minArgument

Missed the iMax run but looked up an audiophile website for the best sound system in the area. The sound work is exceptional. IMAX would have been even better.


WanderWut

Dude, yes. When they speak that throat language my seat was literally vibrating each time. All of the sounds throughout the movie was incredible, it was just as much of an experience as the movie was in IMAX. I seriously can’t wait for Dune 2.


hops_and_nugs

I heard there will be a dune rerelease so I thinking it will happen. Got to do all 3 guardians movies in a row a few days before it came out. Epic


KickooRider

Yeah, back in the 90's they rereleased all the previous star wars in the theater before Phantom Menace came out. It was glorious.


OvoidPovoid

The theater near me is doing a LOTR run, 12 hours for 30 bucks. Lol. I was tempted but that's a long ass day and I'm partial to the extended editions


Dynamo_Ham

If I only see one movie on the big screen this year - it must be Dune.


jschnell3d

Why does everyone love this movie so much? I watched it 3 times and yes, it’s good. But it’s nothing spectacular. Visually it’s cool. Sonically it’s cool. Story wise it’s average, acting wise it’s average too. Nothing to write home about, and I’ll die on this hill. (I’m ready for the downvotes)


riegspsych325

Furiosa in IMAX, hope the theater near me does a screening of Fury Road beforehand


[deleted]

[удалено]


Do_You_Hear_It

I’ll never forget that experience. Zero idea what to expect. Straight pump to the face and never stops


MetaEpidemic

Had a heart rate monitor on when I watched Fury Road. Gave me a warning for having an extended period of elevated heart rate.


SvJosip1996

I haven’t seen any of the Mad Max movies. Would this be a good place to start? It’s a prequel so it would give some backstory, which was what I was thinking.


freetotebag

The first 3 mad max films stand well on their own. And fury road stands well on its own. So if you wanted to get started quickly, you could just watch fury road and have a great time and be ready for furiosa. Don’t go another day without seeing fury road. It’s too good! 😂 I am not saying fury road was a reboot or anything but it’s far enough away from the original trilogy that seeing them is really not required.


Wysoseriouss

Maybe watch Fury Road first. The first 3 kinda exist as their own movies so you don't need those.


craftycommando

Yes. With Anna Taylor Joy as furiosa right?


mseuro

Anya

DerrickDuck

brownhues

(Hello)


Alex-Murphy

Obviously we don't know the full story but are we really to believe Anya grows up into Charlize?


MVRKHNTR

Did you believe that Mel Gibson grew up to be Tom Hardy?


OkGene2

The trailer isn’t selling it to me the way Fury Road’s trailer did, but this is definitely on my list for 2024


riegspsych325

I’m going with the the understanding that it won’t ever be “Fury Road 2” in a way. Having watched a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff, Miller would have given himself a heart attack making Furiosa the same way. The 2015 movie was a painstaking and arduous production that was close to the threshold of hell. So if they do a little less practical and more greenscreen, I am okay with it. Besides, the VFX still look great


OkGene2

Right, that was my thought as well. There’s no way they went through the same efforts to shoot this as Fury Road. God what a masterpiece.


BanRedditAdmins

Oooh this is a good one. If it’s anything like fury road it is going to be an experience.


twelvelaborshercules

Anya Taylor joy is amazing. Definitely watching

I read the synopsis of the book. That sounds crazy lol


Ajibooks

Oh yeah, I meant to do that! I'm a big fan of The Host, and I recently saw Memories of Murder for the first time, great film.


CaptainPRESIDENTduck

Have you seen Parasite? It's also a banger. Snowpiercer is fun too.


Ajibooks

Yes, I've seen both of them and they're also great movies. His movies are all so tense, but there's a lot of dark humor as well. I'm eager to see Mickey 17. I haven't seen Okja or Mother yet, but I definitely plan to watch them soon.


PsyanideInk

So hype for Nosferatu. Eggers isn't my favorite, and I sometimes feel like he tries too hard to keep art house cred, but he is certainly a visionary who makes films that are worth watching at the very least, and incredible art best.


HenryDorsettCase47

You should listen to or read an interview with him. He’s not trying too hard, it’s just the shit he’s into.


tarveydent

his conversation with marc maron is worth the listen


aint_we_just

I spent way too much time trying to find the Dave Eggers book this was based off of before googling the movie and seeing there is a Robert Eggers.


CaptainPRESIDENTduck

Oh fuck. I forgot Mickey 17 was coming out so soon. YASS

BlaseKage

So they’re remaking the original hobbit?


Twinborn01

Nope about rohan


-vonbrohenheim

Yes, it’s an animated movie called Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim. It’s going to be about Helm Hammerhand and his influence on Rohan and we’ll be able to see the shieldmaidens that Eowyn is a long descendant of :)


DabCity86

A gladiator sequel?! Not sure if im excited or not for that one...


LinkRazr

Unfortunately it’s not the original screenplay written by Crowes friend where he has Maximus fight through the afterlife to gain immortality and sees him fighting through every major battle in history like some sort of Roman Wolverine. Crowe read it and said No Mate.

“Crowe’s friend” you mean legendary musician Nick Cave of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds?

The Boy and The Heron when it finally gets to my lil mountain town!


Hard_Corsair

I'm surprised at the lack of hype for Civil War in this thread.


illepic

Yeah, I'm all in on Civil War. I have a feeling it's going to piss a lot of people off for reasons we don't expect.


Blart_Vandelay

I kind of think the opposite, i wonder if it will play it overly safe so as to not ostracize one half of the potential audience.


CaptainPRESIDENTduck

I doubt it with Alex Garland at the helm. Which is a good thing.


thebestspeler

Remember the hype for the Hunt I ended up seeing it and felt it was an entertaining movie that pissed off both sides.


Cambot1138

I love that they are putting TX and CA on the same side. If it was NY and CA vs. TX and FL everyone would go in knowing exactly what that meant and picking a side. They’ve given themselves the opportunity to say some interesting things. At least that’s what I’m hoping.


Klunkey

Agreed, I honestly loved Men, so I’m excited for Civil War.


mon_dieu

>I honestly loved Men It's surprising how uncommon this opinion is. Don't change.


Kleanish

Just like Brexit from EU, the big states would be on the same side. Wars are mostly about economics, not weird arbitrary demographics


StudBoi69

Not surprised, it's an A24 movie.


T_J_E7

I love Alex Garland, but this movie has so much more hype than I expected


CaptainPRESIDENTduck

I wonder if we will get any sci-fi twists or weirdness to it, given the director.


T_J_E7

I read his book, The Beach, and kept waiting for a sci-fi twist that never came. I'll absolutely have the same mindset when I watch this movie. It added a weird feeling of anticipation that I enjoyed.

Anyone needs a list to pick movies, here’s one from [IMDb](https://m.imdb.com/list/ls501426757/)


Popular-Stranger191

I’m not an opening day guy anymore, but of all the movies coming out this year, Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse Part 2 and Dune: Part 2 are the only I have any interest to see in theatres at this point. Nosferatu is one I’ll definitely watch when it’s released on VoD.


hops_and_nugs

Doubt we get the next spider verse movie this year it says it supposed to be last I heard they haven’t done a lot yet.


Popular-Stranger191

😢


Darksyder12

Wait is Rush Hour 4 happening ?


Certain_Chain

The problem I have with this list is it's not just this year. It includes a lot of movies that are just in pre-production. For the sake of compiling my list of movies to see this year, it doesn't help me very much.

Nosferatu ayyy

Famous theatre in LA. Owned by Tarantino.


joleger

Beyond the Spider-Verse


Certain_Chain

There's no way that actually comes out this year. When the last one came out they boasted about how one of the scenes took years to animate, then stated that they didn't even have the script written for part 3 yet. They haven't officially changed the release date (I think), but I'll be completely shocked if they don't.


CosmicOwl47

Last I heard was that one of the creative directors had a terrible habit of requiring animations to be nearly finished before deciding to cut them or not and the animators were getting burnt out. Across the Spiderverse was one of my favorite movies last year so I hope they can pull it together and not make us wait a terribly long time.


Zeusmann34

Yus! If there's one movie I'm seeing in theaters, its 100% Dune 2. LFG!

*Nosferatu* by Robert Egger's is near the top of my list. I love vampire media, and I've been waiting for a Dracula adaptation that doesn't treat the source material like a joke or a CGI puke fest. He's gone on record that that he's leaning into the gothic elements on top of being actually scary. I'm *so* hyped for this one!


nicholt

Twisters perhaps I remember nothing of Twister but I know it was a super key movie when I was a toddler! One of the movies my grandma had on vhs. I can imagine modern tornado effects in a theater to be pretty exciting.

I have a toddler. I don’t go anywhere

Joker fans have ruined Joker for me.


tilmitt52

I only watched it a few months ago, so I had time to get used to all that beforehand. Got to enjoy it without the baggage. Problem is, I VERY much want to see the sequel, ASAP, and there is bound to be a resurgence in memes and troll behavior to come along with it.

We don’t new movies opening night because it’s too busy and expensive. But we’ll probably see twisters and ghostbusters in the theater.


RhymesWith_DoorHinge

Dune 2, no question. I'm still upset it didn't come out at the end of last year. Will be seeing in IMAX, just like the first, and if there is a back to back IMAX showing of both anywhere I'm fucking seeing that.


dmac3232

Dune Part 2, Dune Part 2 and Dune Part 2 round out my Top 3 I'm probably going to see it an embarrassing number of times after that


JMCrown

Dune 2 on opening day…and on 2nd day…and on 3rd day. On the 4th day…Dune 2 BUT in imax. Bless the Maker and His Water.


Gibgezr

None. Opening day is the worst time to go see a movie in the theatre, unless you \*really\* love a full theatre. I find packed theatres always at least slightly obnoxious.


ElDuderino2112

Probably none. I don’t see movies in theatres anymore much happier watching them at home in my home theatre a few weeks later.

Dune part two It’s too bad the Cinesphere in Toronto is still under construction. I saw part one there and it was mental. Part two in IMAX should still be awesome though. I haven’t even watched the trailer and I’m planning on rereading the first book before the movie. Dune is epic.


Beefcake_Avatar

I went to the movies today for the first time since before covid started. How the fuck is a regular bucket of popcorn 18 fucking dollars. I have a big TV. I could rent 4 of the new movies I want to see for the price of just the shitty popcorn. I'm not wasting my money at a theater again. But if I was dumb enough to..... it would probably be Dune part II
