This looks so great. I love that they are focusing on the prophecy and all that entails.

I might need to rewatch the first movie before seeing this. I watched the movie before I read the book and I feel like it made little sense and they barely explained anything. I can’t recall them even mentioning why anybody wants spice in the movie. Which leads me to believe that the movie is really for people who have already read the book and know the details of why anything is happening.
I definitely remember them trying to explain it at the beginning of the movie, saying it’s necessary for space travel. The movie is just so information dense it’s easy to miss the details. I read the book years before watching the movie and I feel like I caught the large plot points.
I will definitely watch it again myself before watching the second.

That Alan Smithee has made a bunch of amazing movies
I didn’t think the first Dune movie in this series was that good and the reason why was probably as you explained it. I knew there was this rich universe lore behind the series but as someone who hasn’t read the books it didn’t really gel that well or make much sense.
I think I was expecting something like LOTR or Star Wars and I don’t think we got that.
You probably expect this comment, but I highly highly recommend reading at least the first book if you haven’t already. There is a reason why there are so many movie adaptations…The book is just THAT good. It’s cheap and reads quick.
I read the book recently for the first time and then watched the movie. The entire time I thought this is awesome to see these scenes from the book but I would have absolutely o idea what’s going on if I didn’t just read it
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.
I’m upvoting this, but I also won’t watch the trailer since I already know I’m going to see this movie.
Same here. Part one was enough of a trailer for me to decide to see part two. Well that and knowing the story from the books.
It’s been years since I’ve stopped spoiling movies for myself and I no longer watch trailers. I do like to jump into discussions about the trailers to get the general vibe.
But it’s so satisfying to discover the whole look and every beat of the movie for the first time when actually watching the movie. Yeah, I’ve read the book, and seen Lynch’s adaptation and even the TV series but I’d rather wait.
Yeah it’s funny- the trailer “spoils” the plot but only if you already know the whole plot from the books and can pick out the major plot points during the fast-moving trailer. If you don’t know the story, you will probably only see some cool action sequences and character shots with some impactful dialog.
Stop. My shai hulud can only get so erect
24 says hello
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.
Movies can be cliche and still be good and refreshing. A simple story structure often allows for a great narrative and interesting character moments
Yes that is what it appears to be. The movies are very much for the people that have read the books and know what is going to happen. They had to make a choice and I suspect filling in all the nitty gritty for the average viewer would end up with a 20 part movie, so they decided to make it the readers, not the viewers. If that pays of for not we’ll have to wait and see.
I am a person that read the books and I am so hyped about what are we going to see!!!

The man seems to have some Broadway musical background.
Shaddam Corrino IV, The Padisha Song And Dance Emperor!
Definitely looking forward to part 2. Part one just looked so beautiful, so picturesque.
They hit on all the plot points and it felt like they didn’t leave out any of the details (from what I remember from reading the book).
I only watched the movie once, but IIRC they missed a fairly substantial subplot about Gurney Halleck strongly believing that Jessica had betrayed the Atreides. Other than that, I was pretty happy with what they did and didn’t decide to cut for time.
Also Thufir.
Imagine that… fooling a mentat. Unbelievable.There was a few things like that or the dinner I thought they could add in only at the cost of removing some scenes of Xendaya in the desert, but I have a feeling there was a requirement to have a certain amount of her for press materials lol.
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 think you meant to write DUNC

Oh man, I am so hyped about this movie I’m having trouble choosing what to have for breakfast. It is time to reread the book and rewatch the first movie. Again.

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.
would have been a great TV show
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.)
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.”
Any chance for God Emperor of Dune?
I haven’t read that one, but isn’t that one of the super weird ones?
Yea, it’s pretty weird but also perfectly inline. Granted it jumps forward like 3400 years or something, and Leto Atreides is a freaking worm…
I know some people don’t like the books that Frank Herbert’s son wrote, but I like all the lore that was in the Legends of Dune series and explanations why the Atreides and Harkonens are rivals.
Messiah is the sequel novel to Dune so Messiah movie would probably not be part 3… more like Dune 2 Part 1.
I’m so pumped for this, the emperors ship / fight looks exactly how I imagined.
