IT'S TRUE... IT'S DAMN TRUE

Looking forward to Paul shitting all over Shaddam/Sardaukar/Harkonnens

Christopher Walken... I really don't know what to make of this

Not a fan of this at all. Walken is a great actor but he's horribly miscast as Shaddam.

^Agree with Ares, I love Walken, just don't see him as the emperor. He's also pushing 80 and likely missing a step or two, he seemed off in his Severance role.

I'd say Gary Oldman, I know, I always name him, Mads Mikkelsen (aged) or even Lee Pace (aged), Pace already done a similar role in the Foundation show.

Meh. Part one was so incredibly ****ing bland and sanitized I have zero interest in the sequel.

Got it to work on some other browsers. Still not a fan of needlessly long links.

Anyway, this is good news. Even though I'd still be looking forward to it even if they cast someone completely unknown as the Emperor.

Our new Emperor, ladies and gents (and transes..?)

Fatboy Slim's Weapon Of Choice Music Video Predicted Christopher Walken's Dune 2 Casting

More of a self-fulfilled prophecy, though.

I can see Christopher's hair being made into a crown although the original emperor was kinda balding.

I would love to see Millie Bobby Brown play either the daughter of the emperor or the sister of Paul.

This movie became dumb after Part 3. Children of Dune.

Austin Butler is impressive, I must say. He's probably going to kill it as Feyd.

However my friend just tells me that people are worried that he's still going to sound like Elvis because he did during his golden globe speech... haha..

PqNARwvFV3k

I hope he does Elvis moves during the fight scene.

I re-watched Dune Part 1 the other night and I forgot how goddamn good it is.

The sound and music is incredible.

My body is ready for Part 2.

My nipples are HAAARD!

Butler is going to kill it. Part 2 should have loads of action in it.

If they follow the books, Feyd will have dark hair.

^ I've seen reports that he will be bald.

Apparently some footage was shown at Cinema-Con recently.

God! Damn! It! He should have hair!

But I get they probably want to go with the aesthetics of uniform bald Harkonens.

Feyd will be bald in this but hopefully is charisma and ruthlessness are kept.

Is the first Dune movie worth watching for someone who thought the actual book was kind of shit? Read it recently and I do not relate to the adulation for it at all.

Some teaser images have been released by Vanity Fair.

Feyd has been kept appropriately mysterious, but yeah, he does look bald.

It's fairly close to the book, considering how long the book is and far closer than the 1984 David Lynch film. So if you think the source material is shit, you'll probably think this film is shit.

Then again, there's a lot of hardcore Dune fans who did not like this film, so it might have the opposite affect on you. Watch the first 30mins, that will give you a taste.

Looked through the vanity fair pics and I thought they were looking good until I saw Irulan. WTF! They completely butchered her. I wonder how Shaddam is going to look now...

How does one butcher the lovely Florence Pugh?

She looks fine. Just nothing like what Irulan should look like. I thought she was miscast from the beginning.

She's a good actress (and lovely to look at) imo, I think she has it in her to do the role proper, assuming she's written properly.

Kind of amazing how people are so concerned about what complete non-characters like the Emperor and Irulan are going to look like. The Emperor shows up at the very end of the book to be made to look like a complete moron by Paul. I don't know why Walken can't play such an insignificant role. With Irulan there's even less there in the first book; IIRC she has like one line lol.

Is the second movie going to also go into the events of Messiah (which to be fair I have no read)? Or is there planned to be a sequel covering its events (considering that Paul becomes big Hitler in the sky in it I kind of doubt it) Because unless it is they could get basically anyone to play these complete nothingburger characters and it would not matter.

Simple. It's because I enjoy the characters. The length and importance of the role is irrelevant to me. If it's a character I like I want them done right (or what I consider right). On the other hand, if it's a character I don't particularly care for, like Feyd-Rautha, that I don't have a problem with them changing them up. And, yes, Irulan has a far larger role in the latter books and they have talked about potentially creating a movie adaptation of Messiah.

Irulan could be in her casual dress and wear more regal clothing later on.

IOW: If Dune parts 1 & 2 bring in enough money

Which I hope they do, love to see a twp part of Dune Messiah.

I believe the two films are just covering Dune.

Maybe a hint of Messiah at the very end, or en credits scene, as a teaser to a possible sequel.

Denis V. has stated that the ultimate plan is to round out a Trilogy, the third film being the 2nd book, Messiah. It's actually a pretty short book. I honestly wonder how they'd stretch it out into a feature-length film. Seems it might need some adjusting.

But anyway, yes, he wants the actors to age a bit between films 2 and 3, though, as I think 10-12 years passes between the two books.

Chamalet is 27, he'd be the right age if they starting filming now.

Make it happen, PL.

Bit of makeup and he'd look mid to late 20s easy.

I'm planning to limit myself to just the first half of the trailer.

I doubt they'd be revealing TOO much at this point, though, because it's not out until November.

Way9Dexny3w

Going to shit on the Marvel's hard

As much as it'll look spectacular, as pt1 did, it would do much at the box office ($500m as an estimate) because it's just too hard sci-fi for general audiences.

Looking forward to what Villeneuve will do with Cleopatra and Rendezvous with Rama.

I'm liking forward to the prequel trilogy, the Butlerian Jihad and the rise of Chat gtp

While Butler looks creepy bald and no eyebrows, still wish they had giving him hair and made Feyd look like the proper pretty-boy, in stark contrast to his brother and uncle. I think Lynch's film got the contrast right the first time around.

Watched the first 45 seconds.

I don't feel the need for more.

Will wait until November.

My friend tells me there is a little bit of Walken as the Emperor.

There is.

I've been stroking to the trailer all day.

One of the few movies I'm actually looking forward to.

Yeah, I enjoyed 1, it wasn't the first half of the book really, but, it was clearly a labour of love.

This film will wipe its ass with The Marvels. Disney should write that pile of shit off as a tax write off Batgirl style.

Ladies and gentlemen, your Emperor...

That's very much true. Which will make it all the more impressive if James Gunn can make a good film with him.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck, it's delayed until 2024.

It was supposed to come out around my birthday. 😩

God damn casualty of the strikes.

Only in the sense that it's essentially impossible to promote without press tours by the actors and director. The movie's finished. They just don't want it to lose money because the 1st one barely scraped a profit.

You're thinking of Baron Harkonnen, he's the fat one.

Emperor Saddam was described as a slender man with thin features. Like a bird of prey. Charles Dance should have been cast as the Emperor, he'd have been perfect, even though in the book the Emperor looks half his age.

I getchu. Maybe he will be okay, we will see

I would have been totally pleased with Charles Dance as the Emperor. He's one of the few who probably would have been better than Walken. Hugo Weaving would have been potentially another.

I agree. But I think we shouldn't complain. Villeneuve more than earned our trust with Part One.

U2Qp5pL3ovA?si=MZt_fsvXWJQaj_O0

Looks great.

Though Chani bitching about the prophecy seems kinda strange considering it serves as the foundation of Paul's power.

Paul is a better fighter than any MCU Avenger.

I just busted a hot load to this trailer.

Looks amazing.

I feel bad for the people that didn't allow themselves to enjoy the first one and won't allow themselves to enjoy this one

Little over a month before Disney Star Wars fans commit mass suicide

Why would Disney Star Wars fans do such a thing?



My nerd loins are on fire for this.

But I fear I'm going to be a bit busy around the time this comes out (we'll likely be moving), so I hope I'm still able to find some time to get out and see it.

Due to the quality. The first film won 6 academy awards while Disney Star Wars is more worried about putting a chick in their films and making them lame gay and lame.

Yeah, we're lucky complaints of the "White Savior" motif didn't cancel a Dune Reboot.

(I know it's actually the opposite of that, but you don't know that until Dune Messiah)

Messiah will turn the whole savior thing on its ass. Paul is no hero.

Your incel is coming out again. Tuck him back in, okay?

Ray being female didn't wreck the new SW trilogy, being unoriginal and bad writing did. If Rey had been a a dude named Ray instead, he still would have been a rip-off of Luke, Jakku a ripoff of Tatooine, the First Order a ripoff of the Empire, Luke a broken loser, rehashing the same main villain etc. etc. etc.

Rob stop making sense or something

I'm not sure what video it is, though, and I don't want to go looking for it too hard...

What's amusing and kind of frustrating is people comparing it to the first one. I mean, the first one wasn't finished. It's the set-up without the finish. It's not like it's some improvised sequel... it's the rest of the story.

but I guess there's bound to be some clueless people out there...

It true that some couldn't get over part 1 only be part of the story.

It's ok they can go watch trash like Disney Star Wars.

Reviews are out. ****ing stellar.

My boner is ready. Let it come.

Yeah, reviews are through the ****ing roof.

I just got tickets for the fan premiere Sunday the 25th. I didn't know about it until today!

How did you pull off this eldritch witchery?

I only see tickets for the day before for early shows.

I don't know much about it, except that it's a single show on the 25th at 7 pm. IMAX only.

Some special early fan premiere. My city usually sucks, but at least we have an IMAX screen. (it's inferior to other IMAX screens I've seen).

I mean, it makes sense and is only fair, since it was supposed to come out in NOVEMBER ffs!

I'm going on the 25th also. There might be screenings avaliable just checking your local cinema

Shit, I haven't even seen a trailer. But I did watch Paul riding the Sandworm scene and it got me pretty hyped because it was superb.

@Leech & Rob.

You remember that fan-edt of the original Dune movie that we talked about some time ago?

Thank you

I think that's the version I watched a few years ago because my friend suggested it.

Shit, I haven't seen the actual Lynch edit in probably 20+ years.

I've not watched Spice Diver, I just might this week.

**** it, I just re-watched Part 1 again in preparation.

My body is ready. Part 2 is gonna rock.

F*ck, it's great.

It's the first time I've been genuinely impressed with and enjoyed IMAX, the nuance with the sound effects and music. And the visuals here are of course spectacular. Incredibly well done. Denis is a cinema god and makes it seem so effortless. God. Damn.

Part One truly is the appetizer and Part Two is the main course.

Amazing film that won't be topped this year. Disney Star Wars is bargin bin trash compared to this.

Oh yeah, in fact that is how I described it to my wife after it was over: it's like Star Wars, but not for kids and written better. So basically like Star Wars, but doesn't suck.

The only movie this year that is likely to even come close to this is Furiosa.

The lasguns shit all over SW blasters. Agreed about Furiosa. I expect it to be good considering what it's following.
