I'm looking forward to Dune in Imax, and I like Marvel movies and shows, so I don't see any need to turn this into one vs the other.
But yes, this is the THIRD adaptation of the first Dune book, so I think it's totally fair to call out that it's not totally "original".
If it WERE original, Frank Herbert fans would go crazy that it's not a "faithful adaptation". So as much as people say they want originality, they don't want "too much" originality.
This is the context of the quote, sounds way less inflammatory than just reading the first sentence no?
"Perhaps the problem is that we are in front of too many Marvel movies that are nothing more than a 'cut and paste' of others,"
"Perhaps these types of movies have turned us into zombies a bit… But big and expensive movies of great value there are many today. I don't feel capable of being pessimistic at all."
"Just think of the golden age of Hollywood to see that commercial films can make a different artistic proposal and, therefore, political. I have never felt like a loss or an impediment to have a generous budget to do what I wanted to do. Upside down."
"If we're talking about Marvel, the thing is, all these films are made from the same mold," he said.
"Some filmmakers can add a little color to it, but they're all cast in the same factory. It doesn't take anything away from the movies, but they are formatted."
too many idiots here
best director working today. He's entitled to his opinion just like Scorsese etc. Marvel certainly has a formula, it makes them a ton of money, but I wish they would allow their directors more freedom to be creative, the ones that tried like Edgar Wright ended up leaving.
wasn't the book written before all of that?!?
