I didn't even know this movie was being made so I saw the trailer because youtube. If I didn't see that Villeneuve was directing the movie that trailer would have killed any theoretical hype I would have for it. They should try having more than one hue in a scene.

Simiain posted:I mean, as opposed to what, the Wizard of Oz technicolor of Arrival or Sicario or bloody Bladerunner??? Just because Villeneuve is know for a very specific color usage in his previous films doesn't mean that he has to continue doing so. If he were to direct the Wizard of Oz and chose to use a drab palette so that both the ruby slippers and emerald city were as desaturated as this thing that would also be questionable. This extends to other choices like clothing, etc. Most of the non-fremen characters in the book are a bunch of royalty, feudal warlords, their retainers, and witches. I don't have the imagination to visualize how those sort of characters would look thousands of years into the future but I do know that they would look, if not gaudy (for our standards), interesting as gently caress. What is the point of being given a setting that gives you a shitload of freedom to let the imagination go wild if you're going to go for a boring aesthetic? a boring aesthetic that doesn't fit the setting.

Simiain posted:OK, but you also say Villeneuve films are not defined entirely by their looks. I like plenty of other aspects of his direction (as well as the projects he chooses to direct), which is why even if that trailer visually looks (to me) like poo poo that doesn't fit the setting, I am willing to believe it will be a quality film.

Hashtag Banterzone posted:The Bene Gesserit, the Spacing Guild, the Fremen, and the Atreides were always going to be pretty drab and monochrome. Color doesn't really fit their vibe. Look at this dude:  Does he seem like a weapons master in the far future or a modern guy in slacks and a french breton shirt with a large fitbit at a posh hotel? bawfuls posted:Do we also hate the generally dark and drab look of the Lynch movie? Cause everyone wears black in that and it’s generally brown/black. Nah, they may be wearing black lifesaver vests but they pop. And the palette is quite warm. trucutru fucked around with this message at 05:18 on Sep 10, 2020 |

Prolonged Priapism posted:He looks like an older soldier wearing the shirt that goes under his dress uniform. Because he's stripped down for a training bout. No. They don't, that's the issue I have. Sure, they have personal sci-fi shields, but otherwise they don't look like dudes in the far future at all to me. And even more so since we're talking about a neo-feudal future, there is even less reason for them to look so "normal".
