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

This looks glorious. Can’t wait to watch this at an odd time at the cinemas so it’s empty

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

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.
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.
This has me unreasonably excited.

The man seems to have some Broadway musical background.
Shaddam Corrino IV, The Padisha Song And Dance Emperor!
awesome, really looking forward to that, actually hoping there will be a double feature with part 1 + 2 in cinemas because I missed part 1 on the big screen due to the pandemic
They slipped in a quick glimpse of the Paul and Gurney reunion in this trailer. One of my favorite scenes from the book.
Can’t wait. I’ve read all the 6 original books and the two written by his son to close the main storyline. This will be epic!
"Who rules here? I rule here! I rule on every square inch of Arrakis! This is my ducal fief whether the Emperor says yea or nay! "
Looks like a really good delivery of this line.
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.
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.
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.
