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.

Chalamet's hair as far out of the cap as I would allow.

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*

I said

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"

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.

Dune slowed down 800 times

dune now with more dune

i honestly didn't think that the movie was slow paced at all. it was pretty propulsive, with set piece after set piece, from the gom jabbar scene up to idaho's last stand. it did slow down a bit when he integrated with the fremen, but i recall the novel slowing down at the point as well.

Hmm, I don't think it was particularly boring, because there was so much novel stuff to keep my interest, but I recall more than a few scenes literally in slow motion.

they used slow motion in a movie?

yes but the rest of the movie was at the speed of old timey b&w movies to make up for it

I feel like the book makes clear that Jessica bears a son because she loved Leto and he wanted a male heir, but the movie makes it sound like her pride is based on her thinking she could/should bear the messiah.

it feels like there was quite a bit cut from the final scene between leto and jessica, could've used a little more focus on that instead of the intercutting with sad paul

Zendaya is from Oakland.. 007 director Cary Joji Fukunaga is from Oakland.

We're hot right now

this was great!

goole!

the NYAA HEEEYYY vocal stab during the gob jabbar scene made me laugh

thinking of Steppenwolf kicking in when paul sees the wormrider made me laugh

there's a lot about the book i don't remember, like how paul handles meeting chani for the first time. and i honestly don't remember a thing about leto's father and the space bull!

no navigators, no feyd rautha. otherwise it was solid dune, i give it dune/dune, looking forward to more dune.
