, executive vice president and general manager of WarnerMedia direct-to-consumer, were all present for the conversation. The trio stressed that despite the fact that the company is operating in the shadow of yet another disruptive merger, they are focused on positioning WarnerMedia as one of the victors in the streaming wars.
“I think the teams are favorably impressed,” Sarnoff said. “He was authentic and approachable. He said he doesn’t really understand our businesses in the studios and networks group … he doesn’t understand the scripted side, because Discovery is primarily in the unscripted business.” Kilar spoke for himself, Sarnoff and Forssell in saying, “leaders need to lead. They need to set a vision, set a context for that vision and ultimately install confidence in those two things. I’m very happy to report that it’s working in terms of the results of the business. There’s an understandable level of uncertainty about what happens a year or two from now. In terms of comfort today, and how we’re doing and the effectiveness of our strategy, it’s very high.
“In terms of those three streaming services that we think are winners, we are going to be one of them,” Sarnoff said, pointing to the breadth and depth of company’s upcoming slate, which boasts five DC movies and the “Game of Thrones” prequel series, which she pegs as another four-quadrant draw. The opening title of the movie proclaims that the project is “Dune Part 1,” and Villenueve’ previously toldthat he’s optimistic he will get to shoot a sequel to Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel. But is the WarnerMedia team ready to officially announce the green light for part 2?
Why she can't tell the truth, she will the one of the firsts to be in firing line once DiscoveryIncTV Zaslav takes control...
WB clean your house.
As great as this movie was, and as influential the books have had on the sci-fi genre, it would be criminal for WB not to greenlight a sequel. They should be working on the whole first trilogy. This has LOTR/Star Wars potential in cinema

I still think the Dune books would be better served as a mega-series as opposed to movies.
if you can watch it twice.. i watched in imax on Thursday and on hbo max on fri
The films visuals and art design were truly extraordinary. The sense of relative scale between objects, the realistic depiction of how enormous ships in orbit would be seen from the surface of a planet. Amazing. Everything else sucked. The dialogue. My god...The awful dialogue.
JimVejvoda They should just spend the money to make more. WB is standing on the precipice of making the sci-fi equivalent of TLotR. The world is better off having it than not.
If they don't make a sequel I'll be annoyed.
It's a new Harry Potter level franchise for the company and HBO Max - is that not enough?!
Just part of Marketing Strategy..they will give green lit for sequel..
Dawg pre-production has to be already underway, noo way someone isn't writing the sequel right now. Idk why they playin around, this should've been green lit as a trilogy or something! Has WB not been watchin this film over the past yr &sayin ooo yea this is a franchise!? Wtf
huh
it’s an absolute tragedy that a dune trilogy (or beyond) hasn’t been green-lit yet. these should be filming back-to-back already.
Stop Ann. Dune almost everything on HBO Max.
In this case Dune will be judged on BO alone & I am confident will do well. Good quality gets results. Crappy half-baked stuff does not. RestoreTheSnyderVerse The 1 thing Sarnoff and Co cannot fake is BO ReleaseTheSnyderCut into theaters.
Discovery Another extremely popular WB movie set itself up for a sequel... it would have done gangbusters at the box office. It's called snydercut 💯🔥
Just green light it.
Sadly I don’t think people to day will get it and part 2 is doomed.
Wait a minute! you mean to tell me that their business decision is based on money!?
Boring movie
Saw it in the theater today. I thought it was a masterpiece!
WB has no idea what they are doing, do they?
Seems like they made the film only to hint a beginning of part 2 towards the end...
'The production is so amazing and the storytelling is so compelling that it’s not going to be judged on box office alone'. Translation: The box office sucks and you'll never going to see a sequel.
😥 rip Dune part 2.
No shit... it’s a story cut in half... not even really a ‘sequel’, just the rest of this story lol
This is probably going to be some LGBTQ bull crap.
If you want to see the 'sequel' watch the Lynch version. It is better, provides a richer understanding, and truer to the book. This film is missing the total weirdness that has shaped humanity due to eugenics programs run wild.
That's what I thought about Man of Steel, and we didn't get a solo sequel to continue Cavill Superman 's compelling story...
Dune Part 2 better get greenlit! Or Imma be big sad
Yeah, they can't adapt the entirety of the book within the runtime HBO mandated. It's a huge fuckin' story and I mean huge. The only other way to do it justice is to make it a long running high-production TV series.
They only filmed half of the book, yeah it's compelling to film the other half🙄
GREENLIGHT NOW!!!!
Seems like they made the film only to hint a beginning of part 2 towards the end...
Now is on Discovery hands. I don't know if the company is going to invest so much without box office potential. The HBO Max thing was terrible for box office, look at the Suicide Squad, 55 million at the domestic box office in its entire run.
Will this movie release already 😖 I feel the promos for this have been going on for a year
CEO is talking like an artist, shit must be all over fans already
Please make the sequence 🙏🏼
Just sell the rights to someone else. Fucking WB should have greenlit part 2 already. When is Discovery taking over? Damn.
🙌
If dune doesn’t get part 2 it should be a crime and should be stricken from award shows if there’s no commitment
Covid saving the movie
