A thread about the Denis Villeneuve-helmed reboot of DUNE

Dune + Nude = Dudenune

J/K I've seen this. Solid.

Dune nude Darude *Sandstorm intensifies*

PS apologies if I was rude Silby. I get your argument now, but I did enjoy the movie. I'm not a hardcore bookfan though so nothing to ruin for me.

Naw you’re good. I’m not even a colossal fan of the book either I haven’t read it since I was a teenager. Among other ways this could’ve been better is if they had made it one four hour movie

It must be true

yesss

Dune, where the mythic meets the epic, and they both meet the gothic, and they all sit down together and chat.

A trailer for a trailer appearing the next day

once again, the sand is the real star here

sand-wise, this makes Lawrence of Arabia look like Waterworld

And here we go

this year.... ride the worm

we're going on a worm hunt!
we're going to catch a big one.
what a beautiful day.
WE'RE NOT SCARED.
uh oh SAND!
deep grainy sand…
we can't go over it.
we can't go under it.
oh no!
WE'VE GOT TO GO THROUGH IT!

— from a child's history of muad'dib, by the princess irulan

In 2023...the worm will turn

Looks like the worm ride is the main part of the movie, sandwiched with some boring palace intrigue and pensive desert musings

And some explosions, no doubt

needs more gholas, tleilaxu face dancing, stone burners, things of that nature

Some damn Navigators

gotta wait for Dune 3 for that stuff

I caught Covid at the last movie, that's what I remember most

im waiting for dune 5

not sure why he says "it's a birthday cake" at the start of the trailer.

I think he's implying "eat my dust" 'cuz he's gonna ride that sandworm so hard later in the trailer.

I know the subject material dictates but, it's so very brown.

this was a weird quote for someone who wants to Be the Kwizah Haderach

"I don’t like sand. It’s coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft, and smooth."

Dune 2? Yeah look what I’m Dune 2 ur mom

They said, Kwisatz, Haderach
Living in the sand dunes, it's'a where it's at
It's like trying to find gold in a pre-spice mass
It's like trying to drink whiskey
Ohhhhh from a bottle of recycled sweat

Okay so

Dune II delayed to March 2024, actors' strike related

Sucks but not surprising at this point. Also grimly hilarious that both films got delayed by completely separate events. I think Villaneuve said delays with the first helped post production so maybe similar here.

Well, whenever we get it -- HOT BALISET ACTION

Bring it.

fffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ....

yeah pretty much

Still no Alia. Yet.

Needs more parasol

GHOST RIDE THE WORM WOOOOOO

I've been waiting for the second part to come out so I can see both of them together; still haven't seen the first. I have a hard time with Chalamet in general. His vibe throws me off. I saw a Willy Wonka prequel ad which made me want to hurl things at the screen.

Rewatching the Lynch Dune and I'm always surprised by how bonkers it is. For every big weird scene that is burned in my memory, there are a dozen small things that take me by surprise. It's not good but it's fascinating. I wish Lynch could have made a sci-fi movie that wasn't anchored to such a laborious plot.

Chalamet is fine, good even

Generally I weary of AAA film adaptations that are all-focus on “doing justice to the novel” rather than “creating a new and exciting work of cinema”, but I’m still gonna go to this and prob marathon the Peter Jackson LOTR films (extended) on Christmas Day too
