Yep. And seen the movie and both SyFy miniseries. I didn't watching that documentary on the 70s movie that never got made. These screenshots just look really generic. Very paint by numbers.
maybe they want to save the detailed shots for the trailer? or 90% of the movie is done in Post and they’re still working on it
I'm psyched about this as a huge fan of the books, but man I wish Paul was played by anyone other than who they chose. That kid just doesn't fit at all.
Nah that kid is good. Paul is like 15 or 16 in the book. He looks right to me and he can pull-off a role like this.
I recently read the book ... I hope George Lucas bought Frank a nice dinner at least once ... I think this movie could be really good, I'm just worried about mass appeal. Lucas was able to distill the ideas in Dune to something the general audience could relate to. I'm assuming we'll get sequel, irregardless of how the first one does though?
There's probably a LOT of sci fi writers who owe guys like Frank Herbert and Edward Elmer Smith a coffee or three. And they themselves owe a fair wedge to Jules Verne and Edgar Rice Burroughs. Honestly the influence rabbit hole runs deep in sci-fi and fantasy. Also man I'm looking forward to this movie.
I just don't find the actors right. Maybe in action they'll be great, but I guess I am feeling like others when Affleck was announced as Batman. Paul looks nothing like the books. Chani seems to be the only one which looks correct for once.
completely disagree. He utterly lacks the physicality needed for the role. Paul may have been raised as a mentat, but he was also trained by Duncan who would have ensured physical fitness. He's not supposed to be tall, but he is described as strong, just not overly muscular. Furthermore, while in the books he's described as skinny, they specifically say he's not as desiccated in appearance as the Freman youths. This actor is too lithe and spindly to even withstand a good gust of wind, let alone the deserts of Arrakis.
Whats not relatable about eugenic space sex nuns fighting over psychotropic petrol in an ersatz middle east with feudal economics? You deffo need to watch Chalamet in The King where he beats a man to a pulp in full plate in some godforsaken mudpit of England just to show his syphilitic dad he has the biggest dick in all of christendom. Meanwhile Chalamet also played the premier 18th century fuckboy in Little Women. There isn't much more to the character of Paul between those two roles.
I believe this is in two parts already. This is the beginning of the story he’s a 15 year old boy. Plus this kid was good in The King so it works for me. Rather have this kid than the nondescript charisma-free doorknob they cast in the TV show.
The kid could be in the gym going all Toby Maguire as we speak. So lets see how he goes in the first trailer
I have and wife has watched DUNE beyond count. It has become like a fireplace, warm and comforting, and there are few things I can stand repeated to this level. I am intrigued by a new DUNE but again may people are not into Sci-fi and the ones that are still likely to not get DUNE. There was so much symbolism that is lost on most people. I for one am disappointed the original DUNE didn't keep the Gernuy song treat scene in, for when I saw that it was like Christmas eyes.
“I always say, ‘Dune’ is a huge gigantic sadness in my life,” Lynch said last summer during the opening night of his art exhibition in the United Kingdom, “I did not have final cut on that film. Total creative control, I didn’t have it. The film is not the film I would’ve made had I had that final control. It’s a bit of a sadness.” Lynch has been a vocal detractor of his own “Dune” film since its release in 1985, going so far as wanting to remove his name off the final theatrical cut.
Didn't someone make a cut, with artboards in some scenes? Funny how some involved in a project can't take its existence and some of us can't exist as we are now without ii.
I honestly had no idea the movie had fans. I guess I figured on some unconscious level someone liked it.

Original Dune Director Plans to See the Remake - But Expects It to Fail Legendary director Alejandro Jodorowsky doesn't expect success. However, he does plan to watch it. "Dune is a book that’s like Proust. It’s science fiction but it’s very, very literary,” Jodorowsky told Indiewire. “It’s very difficult to find images to put in the film because pictures are optical."
