Introducing: The Dune Film Trilogy?

 Extra Large Movie Poster Image for Dune (#18 of 19)

I'm now about over 3/4 the way through the 4th of 6 books in the Dune Saga; and I always thought that it would be neat if they did a trilogy of films, which covered the first Dune book (which is big) as well as the second one, Dune Messiah (regular length book).

Here's hoping that those plans will happen..... 😁🤞


Here's an excerpt from this Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_(2021_film)

May be an image of text that says 'InFebruary 2021 Eric Roth stated thathe written treatment the potential sequel. [122] an screening One lending credence plans August 2021, Villeneuve was optimistic about the sequel happening [123] it.[124] That same month also confirmed writing sequel had begun.

Depending on your screen, that may be a bit tricky to read.

I've got my tickets to see Dune ("Part 1", as it seems) in Cineplex's UltraAVX format. That, and Landmark's Xtreme format are both the Canadian equal to Dolby Cinema, in that they both offer Dolby Atmos. I'm unsure if they offer Dolby Vision, as both Dolby Atmos & Dolby Vision together 'make' Dolby Cinema.

Either way, make sure you get out and see the film (or stream via HBO Max). Dolby Cinema (or UltraAVX, or Xtreme) is THE best way to see this film in cinemas, so try for those formats if you can.

Either way, this looks to be one to see on the big screen. And, if you watch it at on home on HBO Max, I urge you to use non-TV speakers: a home theatre system or even a soundbar (an optical one starts at about $150 - $200) would be a huge step up. I've got a pretty basic LG one, which uses optical, and I've got everything set to stereo, PCM or LPCM when and where possible, and it sounds pretty good. So if you're still using your TV's crappy speakers, now is the time to fix that.

The Tolkien Signature Paperback Collection: Master Listing

Image
  Recently, HarperCollins has been re-issuing most of the Tolkien titles in a new paperback style. Since that a vast majority of these share ISBNs with other covers, eventually the older covers will be replaced with the new. I wanted to provide head's up for that. If ordered via Amazon UK, Blackwell's, or Waterstones, you'll very likely have the newer/Signature cover. If possible, it may be best to actually visit  the bookstore so you can see which one they actually have on their shelves.   This post is a Master Post, collecting ISBNs of the titles released in this style. I have made them into 'groups' or 'sets' for ease of reference, as well as possibly assist in purchasing them, if one were to get more than one book at once. Over the course of time, this post will get updated. Once a new title comes to this format, I'll do a separate blog post focusing on that title; and provide it's ISBN, cover art, and description. Enough of these have come out t...

An Update

So I bet you're wondering how The Saga of Kalvel is coming.  It's going well, but slow. I'm not putting into as much time writing the series as I'd like. It's still being thought of in my head, and I'm only able to get to it part time, but I'm still planning and writing at the same time. This weekend I'm hoping to binge through some.  I'm working on the third chapter for one character, and would like to start the first chapter for another character. I begun as early as Dec. 2011, and my deadline is August of 2016, but so far I have approx about 40 completed manuscript pages that I'm thinking of going back to until the first draft is completely done.  Now. That's manuscript pages.  If I were total everything I'd ever written about Kalvel, it would be closer to around 100 (give or takr about 15 either direction, some things are in various states.) I've said before and again that the most difficult vo...
