Comparing it to Flash Gordon certainly doesn't give me much hope, as it's honestly one of the worst films I've ever seen, and I've witnessed some trash student films in my time lol.

... but how about Flesh ... :LOL:

I'm pumped to see this but I can't shake the feeling it's going to do poorly at the box office. Hope I am wrong!

Depending on how things go (when we can see movies in theaters again)... It feels like Q4 of 2020 is going to be very crowded. Everything seems to be getting pushed to the end of the year.
It could hurt films like this going up against other titles that were suppose to be Summer Blockbusters.
 
I enjoyed the David Lynch movie and I'm really looking forward to this.
But 'Dune' is a franchise that I feel will have a limited appeal outside of sci-fi and novel fanbase and the negativity of the Lynch movie will weigh on this remake.

I'm assuming this will get bumped to 2020 to make way for something more profitable!
