Get. HYPE.

Can't see how this will be long enough. So much to show and tell!

It's supposed to be three parts

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I read the third part is planned to be the first beats of Messiah. Essentially the complete arc of the life of Paul Atreides.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like it would be wrapping up the Paul Atreides story, and laying the groundwork for the Emperor of Dune Saga in the last 15-30 minutes of the film. That should still be enough time to deal with Paul Atreides.

The only certainty I read is that Villeneuve doesn't want to do children of Dune or beyond. But producers want mini series out of those and a Bene Gesserit prequel series that's already on the works.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I'm with @dustyData, I understood part 3, if it happens, would be Messiah. Villeneuve talked about it recently.

I need to re-watch part 1 then I'll be ready...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Fuck yeah this looks epic!! I will absolutely be rewatching part 1 the day before just to catch up and get myself psyched.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm hoping for an IMAX double feature as I never saw the first in IMAX.

My husband and I both love it but he’s a bit obsessed so we’ve watched it several times now. Was on HBO max or whatever it’s called now for a while? Watch it four times to make sure the metrics are good. Got added to friend’s plex server? Watch it again. Muck with the speakers a bit? Gotta test them, what better to test them with? Oops, watched the whole thing. That said, my reaction upon seeing this trailer was “Man I gotta read the book again before March.”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I love it too but this sounds so much like a friend of mine who must have watched it even more than I did

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I really hope that Villeneuve will get the chance to turn all the books into movies. He gets the vibe of Dune, and the last two books would make for some epic films on the big screen. But to get those made, Villeneuve would first have to do the impossible and somehow turn God Emperor into a movie that wouldn't tank the franchise.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I’ll be happy even if he stops at Messiah, because at least he can end Paul’s arc and realize Frank Herbert’s message about the dangers of messianic figures. GEoD is definitely a difficult task to translate to the big screen. I think it would work if they take Children and God Emperor to the small screen as limited series shows.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

As far as I recall from some interviews of his from the summer, his inclination is to end the story after making it a trilogy with Dune Messiah. So, practically he is focusing on Paul's story.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

It would be great if they can achieve that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Uuuhh, I like the idea of a limited series. Maybe a >!new Duncan!< as the main character each episode.

Awww yisssssssssss

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

In all honesty, I much prefer the original film with Sting. This looks fucking awesome though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Nah. The william Hurt miniseries. But this one's gonna be gorgeous.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Very different to the other trailers, a lot more focus on their relationship than I expected.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

A power involving sound.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Really love the music in this one. Bringing in the piano really hints with the deeper emotional themes pulling at Paul, who is diving into a world that's entirely new to him but might find himself gasping for the air of the world he's lost.
