I think there should be a rule at this point an IP can only get one reboot every 15 years and it has to be won in a director competition because this is ridiculous! It feels surreal how many reboots and remakes they make and they are usually always for the worst.

So are you tired of them to?

    I wouldn’t really count dune as a reboot. The original dune was a complete mess and the technology wasn’t really there and no one gave enough of a shit. It’s not like a good movie was remade because they wanted to grab some cash.

      OK. Yes, back then, cinematic technology was far from capable of delivering a Dune in the grandeur the story demands. I still file it under “reboot”, as the same book has been (attempted to) filmed before.

        I’m going to politely disagree.

        Star wars managed to show that cinema can handle grandeur. 1984 Dune can’t blame the technology of the time.

          Star Wars was dreamed up by a director using the tools of the time for his filming. And there is not that much grandeur in it. Have you read Dune? That is in a whole different league than Star Wars.
