this looks good enough to me though. seems like they might have successfully threaded the needle re:depicting the tech & imagery described in the book faithfully without making it look completely ridiculous and camp

new trailer is much more exciting than the previous one

smart business move to make it so brown and dark that you need to see it in IMAX to make out wtf is going on

The best part of casting a not-fat, not-gay actor in a fat gay role is them talking about how arduous the process is. Did they have to wear a fat suit?! How awful! Did they have to flirt with a guy?! The indignity! pic.twitter.com/Fn0Q3N5ylY— Guy Branum (@guybranum) July 22, 2021

Has anyone ever seen Stellan SkarsgĂĽrd make any facial expression besides the one in that photo? Share your testimony, if so.

Pretty sure I remember him doing that face at various points in Hunt for Red October thirty years back, so no.

When a film costs this much, are quips demanded by the studio? Bladerunner 2 didn't have quips.

What I am curious is where they will break at the end of the first movie?
Jessica taking the water of life...then Paul riding the Sandworm for the first time?

io9 can exclusively reveal that the Oscar-winning composer of Dune (and a few dozen other iconic movies over the past 40 years) was so inspired when he looked at the upcoming behind-the-scenes book from Insight Editions, he decided to write some musical accompaniment. this is 100% horseshit right? zimmer has an entire stable of ghost composers that write practically everything

Hmm, could work. (Certainly there's shifts in POV in the second half of the book but I can't recall how many are Chani-centered?)
In a recent interview with La Repubblica (translated by IGN), Denis Villeneuve revealed Zendayaâs character, Chani, will be the primary protagonist of Dune Part II:Iâm honoured to present on-screen two talents [TimothĂŠe Chalamet and Zendaya] that are so explosive, and I canât wait to shoot the second part of Dune to get them back together. Knowing that in the next chapter Zendaya will be the protagonist of the story.

Dune seems to inspire some odd movie stuff, anyone remember that document they handed out in the lobby to help 'explain' things when the Lynch one came out?
― earlnash, Friday, 20 August 2021 02:24 (three years ago) link
Yes, I remember getting one of those when the movie came out
― Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Friday, 20 August 2021 02:25 (three years ago) link
Also there was a range of action figures marketed very much at kids.

i saw the trailer in the cinema and man it looks really po-faced. i almost said âpoe facedâ get it ahahahahahalots of earth tones. very tasteful, very jil sander.

This will get a lot of decent to very good reviews and nobody will remember it in five years.

But the quipping, which is worse than humorless
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Thursday, 26 August 2021 11:21 (three years ago) link
the quipping clearly an attempt to counteract the crushing weight of self-seriousness which as you say is even worse
just a trailer though!
― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 26 August 2021 11:26 (three years ago) link
So crazy that a movie set on a desert planet would have a lot of earth tones. Imagine!
People want to pre-emptively hate this movie for the dumbest of reasons.

That second sentence wasn't directed at just you though, it just seems like there are so many people just looking for any excuse to hate this pre-emptively.

I liked Bladerunner 2 fine and I don't understand the hate for Villeneuve but I really do hate that kind of jokiness, it definitely put me off a bit.

for a truly faithful adaptation, each screening of dune should have someone dressed up as princess irulan sitting in the front row, and she would pause the movie every five minutes to read a paragraph or two from one of her dozen books
