A thread about the Denis Villeneuve-helmed reboot of DUNE

lol yes there was plenty of that one particular hans zimmer noise, which really only makes sense in a theater, and even then is not quite what it was a decade ago

I did think less soundtrack than sound design (and as such enjoyed it). It really almost wanted to be the anti-Toto soundtrack, barely anything resembling a hook!

it's pretty amazing that Toto brought way more chunky guitar riffing than you get from virtually any other sci-fi epic, who'da thunk?

Watched the new one this past weekend. It's so dull! And that scene near the end where Paul says DESERT POWER is like a Chevron commercial. Lynch Dune is 1000x better.

what was the deal with the bagpipes then?

Has Villeneuve explained why Paul no longer has a younger sister?

Because said younger sister hasn't been born yet in the movie's timeline.

He mentions he knows his mother is pregnant and there's that one vision sequence where she's holding a baby with blue eyes, which will almost certainly be Alia.

what was the deal with the bagpipes then?

Ah the bagpipes. Exact quote from the art book, I kid you not: "A week before filming the Atriedes landing on Arrakis, Denis woke up with an idea. He had been dreaming of bagpipes."

as one does

is that a Sting lyric

Would have been awesome if instead of bagpipes it was, like, a New Orleans brass band.

If I were Villeneuve I would have had some alien playing space bagpipes, not a Scottish guy from 10 millennia ago

i for one noticed how many hooks were in the zimmer score. it was v striking to me

Would be funny if it was already done, much like how they didn't announce it was Part 1 of 2 until well into the advance PR campaign.

That would kinda great.

Anyway, amazing:

In honor of the new Dune film, here’s a photo I took in 2018 sitting across from Timothée Chalamet reading dune on the F Train pic.twitter.com/yfxFSUp1lo

Chalamet in that picture about as far into the book as many make it.

Amazing picture, lol

not a Scottish guy from 10 millennia ago

In all fairness, the only thing we can be truly sure of is death, taxes, and some Scottish guy playing the bagpipes

Planned release date is October 2023. Seems quick but hey.

i wanna see more of the dune

Extended Dune.

Dune Cut: The Dune, The Whole Dune, and Nothing But the Dune (Part One).

feel like they should be able to make a dune in one year dont see the problem

Dune in tomorrow and find out!

Tagline: "It Continues."

All the sand was a total David Lean ripoff

I heard they actually used some of the same sand used in "Lawrence," in homage.

Part 3: "Dune Done"

Yeah if they ever actually get around to a third movie I can't wait for some of the attempted explanations beforehand.

"Wasn't Jason Momoa killed?"

"...yes...but he'll have a love interest!"

Anyone else notice the distinct lack of buggies in this movie? Was that an oversight, or did Villeneuve intentionally cut them out?

I thought it could have benefited from an english patient or two

*taps mic*

still the best dune imo

There's no way people on Arrakis would waste that much water. Human-sized litter boxes.

yeah but a bidet would be nice after a long day of sliding down sand dunes

you wear your litter box and then drink from it when you get thirsty

Gonna see Dune not because you all are obsessed with it but on the reco of my friend who spent money he didn't have on a huge dune mural in the garbage area behind his pizzeria inaccessible to customers because he "needed it to center himself alone before big pizza rushes"

max has some infos

"Dune" (the movie), annotated https://t.co/9qeTH7PhuR

I see no deets about Chalamet's hair.

roughly 22% of the final edit consists of Chalament glowering smoldering and byronesquely into the camera.. who knows how much ended up on the cutting room floor, we'll have to wait for the box set

They're going to release a director's cut that's 30% longer just by making it 30% slower.
