If This Actually Happens I Would Lose My Mind - Blog Posts

Tim posted screenshots from METROPOLIS back in Nov 22, 2019. As of Feb 10, 2023 it's still up there.

If the rumours are true and Apple has Sam Esmail helming a tv series with Timothee Chalamet in it then the world as we know it will change forever that wd be okay i guess 😅.

- Sam is a razor sharp writer (MR ROBOT) and intrepid filmmaker (COMET).

- And Apple's FOUNDATION shows they can do sci fi fantasy & adapt stories by updating them with just the right amount of respect.

- And given that Freder has that saviour thing going on as well, I cant wait to see how Tim makes him different from Paul Atreides.

I wonder if they might gender flip the story so that the rich kid rebel (Freder) is a woman and the working class saint (Maria) is a guy. Not for any reason other than those few minutes that the saint is shown as a seductress. And i think showing people getting whipped into a sexual frenzy over a woman is so eyerollingly cliche. Throw Timmy into that role and ... well... if ever there was a man who could seduce men and women into comitting sins... (Btw this film came out in 1927, nearly a century ago!!!!😲)
