Yeah, the trailer is so fucking good.

I'm still reading the book again and really enjoying it. God I can't wait to see Denis V's adaptation.

My Dune boner throbs and grows with every passing day.

Spoiler:
i think it's possible that rabban dies early. if not, he barely escapes

i don't think that this film can't simply end with an hour+ of non-climax screentime. you can certainly get away with that in a drama (irishman, amirite?), and in the concluding act you can drag the post-climax out for infinity if you want (return of the king, amirite?), but you can't get away with that in act one of an action scifi. there is a substantial series of events from the time of duke leto's assassination, up until usul/muad'dib is named, and then until jessica takes the water of life. tbh i think leto will be dead @90min into the film, with another hour/hour and a half to spare.

I think rabban will be used as the sacrificial lamb to rectify this and keep with movie-making theory and tradition of an end-of-film climax and significant win, with muad'dib leading a fremen raid on some approaching invasion force or outpost which rabban is overseeing. sure they could just end it with their first raid on some harkonen spice harvesters...but where is the sense of fulfillment in that? what if the first star wars ended with the rebels blowing up some minor property of the empire, providing a barely noticeable inconvenience to the emperor?

rabban is a minor character (in the books especially). apart from serving as a disposable pawn in the baron's scheme to place feyd on the throne, and giving a backstory to gurney halleck, rabban really doesn't do shit.

Do you even Dune, bro?

you shut your cvnt

Not even sure if Dune even comes out this year.

It's still scheduled for Dec 18th 2020.

Yes for now it's staying but with the way this year has went its not a sure thing right now.

Of course, second wave of covid-19 could close down enough theaters that they shelve it until 2021.

i will pay out the ass if necessary, to view it streaming on december 18th. i think it's possible. but also possible they postpone, as they avoided tagging the date at the end of the trailer. seems like they're leaving the option open

Dunno man, can't wait to see this, but I also want the big screen and booming sound of the theater experience to break my cherry.

i used to say things like that in the 90's when we didn't all have cinema-quality screens in our homes

I got a big TV and some pretty decent sound. Still not the same for a film like this.

know what my home theater doesn't have? covid

Yup. I definitely want the best theater experience possible with this bad boy.

delayed...until LATE 2021. Noooooooooooooo!!!!

F**K! Shit! Piss!

Probably for the best if we ever want a sequel to be made.
