So this is fun! YouTuber Jonathan Burns of BURNS REVIEWS – who did the cool BATMAN/SE7EN mash-up that went viral a little over a week ago – has just released a new side-by-side comparison of Denis Villeneuve's (BLADERUNNER 2049) upcoming DUNE adaptation with David Lynch's famously troubled 1984 production! Check it out at the top of the article!
Here's the official synopsis for both films:
In the far future of humanity, Duke Leto Atreides accepts stewardship of the dangerous desert planet Arrakis, also known as Dune, the only source of the most valuable substance in the universe, "the spice", a drug which extends human life, provides superhuman levels of thought, and makes faster-than-light travel possible. Though Leto knows the opportunity is an intricate trap set by his enemies, he takes his Bene Gesserit concubine Lady Jessica, young son and heir Paul, and most trusted advisers to Arrakis. Leto takes control of the spice mining operation, which is made perilous by the presence of giant sandworms. A bitter betrayal leads Paul and Jessica to the Fremen, natives of Arrakis who live in the deep desert.
Meanwhile, DUNE – directed by Denis Villeneuve and starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Josh Brolin, Dave Bautista, Stellan Skarsgård, Oscar Isaac, and Rebecca Ferguson – will spice up theaters December 18th…unless there's a delay.
So what do you guys think? And which DUNE do you think you'll prefer? Either way, sound off below!
