they should have let HBO do it, turn it into a big budget series similar to GoT or even Mini series
HBO next big budget production aside GOT, Confederate and Westworld is Watchmen sequel. The idea is to use the social/political story platform to react to the era of Trump's shitshow administration.
DV's Dune adaptation still too early to tell whether it can materialize as all boils down to Universal and Legendary willing to pull the trigger or not.
Why trailer cut & editing looks dated la? Bgm didn't make any impression...I didnt expect it to be as loud as TENET la..with the BGM screaming "LOOK HERE...I AM HERE..THE BGM IS DOPE!!! CHECK ME OUT!!" but considering DUNE's budget, u expect some level of epic orchestral or at least mildly pulsating bgm...😏
Sigh....!!! Dude that's Han Zimmer rework of Pink Floyd's Eclipse. It's a nod to the failed adaptation of Jodorowsky's Dune. Pink Floyd suppose to score the music on that failed movie. It's effing Pink Floyd and show some respect boy!
Didn't change the fact trailer was so-so. It reminds alot of Star Wars: Force Awakens...and it was dogshit. Bored TF outta me. This one seems in-line with it. Maybe for veterans it would be fun or even evoke nostalgia. Not criticizin it or anything. Just sayin with it's budget, trailer cut & editing could've been tighter. Peace yo
That's your lowly opinion and doesn't mean it's the consensus. In what reality does the name Hans Zimmer and Pink Floyd music right constitute as low budget or lazy effort? Unless you're living under a rock, hasn't it been the trend of reworking classic songs for trailers is all the rage. How is this any different from The Batman, Death by Nile, WW 84, etc... I am not criticizing you for disliking the trailer, but mischaracterization of no budget just because the bgm selection not up to your standard. Last I checked...360k likes vs 10k dislikes. Not in any metric form that the trailer is as disastrous as you perceive it to be. Correlation does not mean causation.... If you equate Dune to Star Wars TFA, then you have no idea what it is all about!
Woot...they included a prescience vision at the end of the trailer. Since they are splitting the movie into two parts, the final battle is in the 2nd portion and won't be in the first movie. So a little heads up. Fingers crossed can watch this at cinema by the time it drops.
Dune for dummies. A run through of who's who in the Dune universe. Hope they get to make Part 2 otherwise will be a real bummer. Book 1 is the more linear hero's journey tale, book 2 onwards is where the mind fuck begins and hard to fathom casual viewers ready to embrace where the story heading.
Thanks to my finance minister, she got me into a close door screening by WBM.Pretty sure during the Oscars, Dune will dominate all the technical aspects. The nature of the first movie is all about set-up and you don't get to settle into the meat of Paul's journey of becoming Space Jesus yet. Also the Emperor and Feyd Rautha has yet to enter the picture. Overall the movie only manage to scratch on the surface of things to come and a bummer should the sequel forthcoming, it'll be another 2 to 3 years of waiting. In post GOT era, the uninitiated viewer will compare this as Stark vs Lannister, Kwisatz Haderach a rip-off of Azor Ahai. Just wish the movie emphasize a little more on the role of Bene Gesserit in the grand scheme of things. Now the ending is hanging and some key players not in the play. Aesthetically this is an improvement over David Lynch's failed 84 version, Bad as it may of the old movie, this new version is not as rich with the world building aspects. Also don't go in expecting SW kind of spectacle, after all this is still a Dennis Villeneuve film. It's a thinking man sci-fi and not some popcorn cgi orgy. Although an incomplete experience, still go for IMAX as they try to recreate some epic cinematography scale like Lawrence of Arabia. Too attached with the books and can't decide yet how good is this until the second part come out.
If you're smitten by the movie, do seek out this GN if you don't want slogging the ori dense book. It's supervised by Brian Herbert, the son of the author. I've read about 20 pages in, it's very faithful and definitely will gives you more context of Reverend Mother Helen Mohiam and more interaction with Baron Harkonnen. The book also ends similarly to where the movie ends Either get it on comixology, Ebay and of course some scallywag named Jack with a certain bird surname.

Do take note Dune is those prestige film that does not appeal to the lowest denominator. Those couldn't appreciate it simply their taste of watching nuanced storytelling and finer filmmaking not fully developed. Then again Dune is a very complex act to follow. I cannot fathom they are able to do Book 2 onwards on film and breaking the meta of a conventional protagonist. It went from Space Jesus to Space Hitler. Frank Herbert is all about illustrating the shortcomings of a messianic figure.
One could argue Frank Herbert was making a statement about crude oil (spice) in the middle east and how the occidentals (the royal houses) are using the commodity to enrich themselves while in the middle east, only a few, benefits.
No need to argue, the danger of Messiah is the core message. Environmental, imperialism, economic supremacy, religion, and good old feminism are the subtext. It began with a concept: to do a long novel about the messianic convulsions which periodically inflict themselves on human societies. I had this idea that superheros were disastrous for humans. - Frank Herbert https://www.oreilly.com/tim/herbert/ch03.html
good news indeed, but gotta wait until 2023 before we can watch in on big screen
WB should have green light the idea of filming part 1 & 2 together, not only it will reduce the production cost and time, the fans can watch it in cinema sooner as well
as most of the multipart epic movies are filmed in the same production cycle nowadays, I was surprised that Dune haven't done so...
oh well, that's WB...
Nah, it's Legendary cause they took 80% stake in financing Dune because they literally owned the rights to Dune. Back to back they didn't have a giant hit after their divorce from Universal until Kong vs Godzilla. Also DV track record in opening big numbers pretty much non existent. WB is in Netflix mode, they are hungry for content to feed HBO Max.
DV did vaguely said he likes The Messiah chapter, it may end up a trilogy with Leto Atreides II to bookend the ending. Also HBO wants a Bene Gesserit show from DV.
The 84 Dune opens up my mind to sci-fi not just pew-pew like Star Wars. It led me to Moebius, Heavy Metal comic books and Nausicca. Terrible as it may with the messy narratives, you can't deny all the wonderful weird things of David Lynch. It's a very truncated experience to say the least. Yeah I did bought a blu-ray when physical copy still a thing. Dune book 1 audiobook clocks in around 12 hrs. So can imagine the compromise it takes to cramp everything into 2 hour plus movie. Then again purist blowhards will nitpick down to the most minuscule detail. Some shitheads already complain '21 Dune for not showing the events exactly like the book. It's a movie A D A P T A T I O N numbskull!!!

Screen legend Christopher Walken is Emperor Shaddam. Florence Pugh is Princess Irulan and newcomer Austin Butler is Feyd Rautha. https://collider.com/dune-part-2-cast-christoper-walken/ Florence Pugh is quickly becoming an A-lister. Austin Butler looks promising in the new Baz Luhrmann movie biopic about Elvis.
