Hello,
As you know, this website is partially for my MMORPG, but it’s also a fan page of sci fi and creativity.
I’ll drop some more wow factor about myself and where God’s placed me before I get to the Dune2 fan script:
Dune 2 the video game came out in 1992. I knew RTS was the future. So I trained to think two thoughts at once, and manage my base and army at the same time despite beating the game repeatedly already. I emailed Westwood who made the game,”Make Dune 3. Add regenerating spice and multiplayer you’ll have a hit.” As many of you know Westwood debranded from Dune, and made Command and Conquer. I was correct, it would be a hit. Less people know that Blizzard was under tremendous pressure from this move to not release Starcraft in an inferior form. They did a complete overhaul of the game to what it is today. You can read it on history sites.
Would Westwood been bold to make Command and Conquer without my email of confidence? Maybe… But Blizzard was ready to release a half butt version of Starcraft which would have not gotten big. God places you in neet places in life… I may have been the catalyst domino that helped Starcraft and Blizzard as a whole become what it is today. It’s funny that I was later #1 in the world at every Blizzard game I played, helped them make their anti cheat systems which I called Player Policing and Todd Cadwell later took to League of Legends and renamed it Player Tribunal… That’s a more apt name since some gangsta style players don’t want to be known as police. Okay, extreme arcane video game lore aside, here’s my idea for a Dune 2 movie scene:
Scene Pivotal: …after Harkkonen razed Arrakeen by crashing an Ordos cruiser into the middle of the city then following with dropping shock troops, the Atreides are forced to retreat into the desert, seeking out to join the Fremen again.
Paul Atreides,”We must summon the worms to gain the haste by which we need to both tactically retreat and gain the favor of the Fremen. While I have not fully been taught the technique of convoking them with the chime, we will all perish if I cannot.”
Paul pulls out a gimmering metal chime with adornments holds it above his head as his followers are awed by it’s shine.
A soft rock montage ballad of hope and concern begins
Paul pulls out an accompanying bronze baton and raises it above his head too. The crowd cheers. While holding the chime still above his head, he dramatically takes the bronze baton down then swings up striking the chime once to a clanging sound.
silence is heard. Even he cheering crowd waits, some feel the sound, bending their ear if they can hear something, after a some fleeting moments and a good wait, they look to Paul Atreides confused to their leader
Paul looks dejectedly to the chime and baton and begins to speak,”House Atredies, I have not the training for this. We’re out in this desert and even if Harkkonen wasn’t chasing us with storm troopers, we don’t even have supplies. Unless someone knows how to do this, we’re done. I’m opening this up to discussion.
Bruce played by Christopher Walken speaks up,”Look, you got a dynamite plan to use the worms to win. We have to walk with rhythm to attract the worm.”
the crowd mumbles to themselves
overhead is,”What does that even mean?”
another says,”We’re fricked.”
Yet another,”Who is this lunatic? Is he some sort of lunatic?”
Paul calms the crowd,”Wise sage, what does it mean to walk with rhythm.”
Bruce(played by Christopher Walken),”Worms have class and style. They’re like women. They don’t want rode by someone with no class, no sophistication, no rhythm. When you play. Play like you’re making love to the instrument. Try again.”
the crowd has a couple snorts, muffled laughs and people trying to hold it down, with covered faces
Paul feeling the crowd also as if Bruce is weird, but realizing he’s in too deep with this guy to back down, nods trying to save face and lifts the chime up some and begins a slow yet reserved rhythm. After about 10 seconds he stops
The crowd is looking back and forth to each other with wide open eyes realizing they’re about to probably die in the desert sarcastically smiling at each other
Paul,”The worm didn’t come. That was supposed to work right?”
Bruce(played by actor Christopher Walken),”It doesn’t work for me. I gotta have more worm bell!”
Paul replies,”I tried Bruce! It’s not happening.”
A random stranger from the crowd chimes in,”We’re staring at our only home Bruce. And I think if Bruce wants more worm bell, we probably should give him more worm bell.”
Another guy shouts yeah,”If we’re gonna die, we might as well die laughing. That random stranger speaks for all of us.”
some laughs are heard, and the guy who shouted that got shoved
Paul is half angered, half inspired and begins really going at the chime for almost 30 seconds. Then he stops and throws down the instruments and stares at it like why am I doing this and stops. Paul looks with his head hung sideways at Bruce like a king ready to drop justice. Bruce stares right back in Paul’s eyes… silence looms
Then someone says casually,”The sand is shifting!”
A shout is heard,”THE SAND! It’s moving the worms!”
Bruce(Actor played by Christopher Walken) still staring at Paul directly in the eyes says with a wry smile,”Guess what?!? I got a fever, and the only prescription is more worm bell!”
Paul’s head straightens as he starts banging at the chimes and then a worm erupts from the sand and he jumps off tossing the chimes to Bruce. Bruce plays em like a master dancing as he does, another worm jumps up, and Bruce gets on like he’s riding a break yo’ back bull at a local dive bar while Fatboy Slim’s Weapon of Choice begins playing
I’m sorry if this ruins anyone’s viewing of Dune 2, it’s hard to get ahold of leaked scripts like this. /s
