This looks so great. I love that they are focusing on the prophecy and all that entails.
Yes!! The Dune movies are the only big movies I’ve been excited about in a loooong time. Between the crappy nostalgia remakes (which never live up to the originals) and the endless superhero franchise churn, the theatre experience has been quite dire for far too long.
I love that Villeneuve is bringing the craft of movie-making back to blockbuster movies, and doubly so that he’s done it with the Dune stories. And he’s done them justice so far, both the material and with the beauty of the cinematography.
Stop. My shai hulud can only get so erect
24 says hello
This looks glorious. Can’t wait to watch this at an odd time at the cinemas so it’s empty

They slipped in a quick glimpse of the Paul and Gurney reunion in this trailer. One of my favorite scenes from the book.
I loved part 1, it was such a refreshing movie in terms of storytelling, writing, cinematography. Super excited for part 2
Part one was the most cliche movie I’ve seen. Bad guys are bad, good guys are good, kid is the chosen one, parents get killed. Hopefully part 2 will be better.
I think you meant to write DUNC

It sounds like dune messiah will be part 3. Probably a perfect fit for these movies.
Didn’t they say it’s a two parter?
There was an interview where he said he wanted to adapt Messiah as a third film
https://nerdist.com/article/dune-movie-trilogy-messiah-denis-villeneuve/
Villeneuve revealed that he has envisioned not just a two-part adaptation of Dune, but its sequel novel Dune Messiah as well. In response to question by Screen Rant‘s Ash Crossan, Villeneuve said, “The thing I envision, the adaptation of two books, Dune and Dune Messiah. We decided to split the first novel in two, so now we are at three movies. Those movies are very long to make. For my mental sanity, I decided to just dream about three movies.”
I love this story, loved the books, the movie was visually fantastic, but it took me three viewings to get through it. I don’t know if my attention could handle the dense nature of it in a film format. Does anyone else think it would have been more digestible as an 6-8 part series? Still great to see this level of sci-fi in film.

When younger I was so confused by the Lynch version, but the visuals of gluttony, purity, capitalism, and overall vastness in the scenery fascinated me.
I do hope someday we figure out interdimensional travel so we can find a universe where the Jodorowsky film was made. Still we have some art by H.R. Giger, that looks incredible, from the effort.
It was made into a series years ago on the ScyFi channel (may be called something else outside the UK). Had titties and everything.

(Oh, only three parts.)
I’m looking forward to it.
I admit I was a tad disappointed with the 1st Dune movie. It wasn’t bad by any means, but I felt Denis Villeneuve didn’t quit communicate Paul’s plight enough, and, as much as I like Zendaya as an actress, I don’t think she was the best choice for Chani.
Then again, I realize Dune is a difficult book to adapt to a movie.
But I’ve enjoyed other work by Denis Villenueuve so I’m suspecting Part 1 was just a setup for Part 2 and the 2 parts together make a satisfactory story.
As someone who read a few of the books, I legitimately despised part 1.
I can see that. I can’t say I despised it, but I was a little disappointed. What didn’t you like?
For me, I thought Denis Villeneuve could have added more emotional weight to the story. Overall I liked the movie. If I see it in a DVD bin I’ll probably pick it up, but I’m not going out of my way to watch Part 1 again.
I did too. Crazy to think so many people find it a great adaptation cause I feel like it misses the point of what made the books so amazing by quite a lot.
Idk I reread Dune annually and thought it was about as good of an adaptation as one could hope.
im sure im gonna get shit on here but i thought Dune 1 was the single most boring and terrible movie i ever tried to watch. i was waiting for SOMETHING to happen the whole time and literally nothing happens. its slow moving people in gigantic buildings and landscapes doing absolutely nothing! like holy hell i thought i was missing something but Dune was just hours of people doing nothing. sit around and talk here, sit around and talk over here now. look my house is the size of your whole planet haha, now listen to me talk very very slowly for the next 20 minutes about nothing.
Well, everybody has their preferences, but it is a big story with a lot of background, and for people who love the story of Dune, it was rather nice to see it given adequate time. It’s a large book, and there is still stuff left out. You’re not obligated to like these movies (or the book), but if you don’t like complex stories that require an attention span, then they’ve made some Transformers movies you might enjoy. Better choice if you want all action with no world building or story.
looool i saw the movie dude it just sucks
That looked really good! I have high hopes for this!
