Looks like there was extra wood veneer left over from the Wallace Corp. HQ sets from Blade Runner 2049. In that context, it read as "this many has enough money for real wood", in this it reads as "Production designer Dennis Gassner really likes Danish modern".

Great that they cast one of the dullest actors alive for the lead role, very promising.

villeneuve isn't great but I'll still watch this. there's not going to be a "very good" sci-fi movie made by the Hollywood studios ever again so we can make-do with this

he's about the only star who can play a teenage boy right now? very unsurprising casting

I’m super frustrated that COVID is going to most likely keep this from being a date night movie for us. It’s totally up our alley and we’re obviously long overdue to just go out and see a film without dragging the kid along, but instead, you know, the usual mom and dad trapped in the house shit that we’ve been doing for six months. Sorry, this probably belongs in one of the COVID threads or some “first world white people problems” topic.

not really a big fan of how they took an already white-folks-heavy cast and then washed everyone’s faces out for this pre-trailer so it looks like they’re all literally the same shade as chalamet

I haaaaate Chalamet. His voice alone has un-sold me on this.

not sure i can handle two hours of meaningful chalamet stares
probably marks me as naive, but I was honestly not expecting so much fanservice, even in a trailer!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 9 September 2020 16:31 (four years ago) link
yeah i imagine that Floyd cover was a nod to Jodorowsky's Dune, huh.

I kinda appreciate how we finally get ornithopters that actually LOOK like ornithopters, in my mind.

They at least evaded the problem the DeLaurentis production had with footage of sandworms deemed pornographic.
Honestly, it still seems too indebted to the 1984 release. Like Deneuve's 2049, a depopulated version of the original. I honestly don't know how one could honor the innovations of Herbert to written sci-fi (a focus on ecology, an interest in non-Western human culture/history) without taking pretty strong detours from the source material, and this isn't that.

from a scan of the wiki page, doesn't seem that way.

it's gnna be five films, the middle three nothing but worm stuff back and forth, back and forth, the worms getting bigger and bigger

This looks pretty cool despite the muted color palette, but it will take a lot to outdo the Lynch version, warts and all.
