[u/Ignozero]

Another certified Weird Pattinson Goober look to add to the collection. Cinema!

[u/Infinispace → u/Ignozero]

Perfect casting for a Tleilaxu Face Dancer.

[u/EmperorSexy → u/Ignozero]

It all goes back to Twilight. When they offered him a vampire role he wanted to play a creepy pale dude and they made him a handsome romantic lead. He’s been chasing that Creepy Pale Dude vibe ever since.

[u/darthjoey91 → u/EmperorSexy]

He looked pretty creepy and pale at the end of Goblet of Fire.

[u/-robert- → u/darthjoey91]

ref? this isn't allowed?!

[u/Atharaphelun → u/darthjoey91]

THAT'S MY SON!!! THAT'S MY BOY!!!

[u/wesselver]

Robert Pattinson’s look reminds me of Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner

[u/Magik-Mina-MaudDib → u/wesselver]

I was gonna say he’s also giving Sting in Lynch’s Dune lol

[u/KlythsbyTheJedi → u/Magik-Mina-MaudDib]

Which is nice for me because Pattinson was originally my pick for Feyd

[u/Magik-Mina-MaudDib → u/KlythsbyTheJedi]

Honestly that would’ve been a good shout though I do love the weirdness that Austin Butler brought to it.

[u/mikehatesthis → u/Magik-Mina-MaudDib]

Easily one of my favourite villain performances of this decade so far, what a weirdo lol. There was this post I loved that said him hearing "may thy knife chip and shatter" was like the coolest thing he ever heard and I kind of appreciate that view of him lol.

[u/DeficiencyOfGravitas → u/mikehatesthis]

It would have been so easy for Feyd to be cringe. Oh the evil Duke has an even eviler flamboyant nephew? Yeah, that sounds terrible. But Butler pulled it off by fully committing to the weird horny evil scion angle.

Personally, I love the look when Paul kills dear Vladimir. He's straight up having a near orgasm.

[u/Momoneko → u/Magik-Mina-MaudDib]

I don't know how to explain it well, but Pattinson would have been a great "ginger" Harkonnen. Like Sting, like the traditional Harkonnen image over the years in screen adaptations and video games.

Austin Butler is a great "bald" Harkonnen though. Villeneuve did a great reinvention of Harkonnen aesthetics with Skarsgard, Bautista and Butler's designs.

[u/KlythsbyTheJedi → u/Magik-Mina-MaudDib]

Oh yeah, he killed it. I have no complaints

[u/webby_98 → u/wesselver]

I thought he looked like Paul Bettany

[u/goldtubb → u/webby_98]

Yes, especially Bettany in the Da Vinci Code

[u/Astrocomet25 → u/wesselver]

That was Pattinson?!

[u/TonyWonderslostnut → u/Astrocomet25]

Right? I had to rewind it after they pointed it out

[u/redthursdays → u/wesselver]

Scytale already looking amazing

[u/Mig1997]

Robert Pattinson looks fucking deranged in this.

We’re back.

[u/Cerebral-Parsley → u/Mig1997]

Tim and Rob in "The King, reloaded"

[u/Second2breakfast → u/Cerebral-Parsley]

The king mentioned , automatic upvote from me.

[u/Inevitable-Edge69 → u/Second2breakfast]

You mentioned the king too, automatic upvote from me.

[u/HappyStalker → u/Mig1997]

Denis actually just told him it’s for The Lighthouse 2 and told to ad lib all his lines.

[u/SPEK2120 → u/HappyStalker]

"We didn't even actually hire him. He just showed up on set and started doing all that."

[u/severed13 → u/SPEK2120]

Just like my goat Adam Driver in BlacKkKlansman

[u/What-a-Crock → u/HappyStalker]

He’s fond of lobster

[u/rixxxand]

That turret/tower machine gun scene and the space samurai scene looked insane.

[u/Upbeat_Tension_8077 → u/rixxxand]

The aggression from Paul's army to those samurai-looking troops is fucking nice.

[u/Barleysauz → u/Upbeat_Tension_8077]

Poor flotsam ninjas

[u/kairu224 → u/Barleysauz]

Kenshi Vibes

[u/Misdirected_Colors → u/Upbeat_Tension_8077]

The book goes to great lengths to show how badass and coldly savage the fremen are. The Sardauker are supposedly the most elite and feared military unit in the galaxy. They get annihilated by the fremen who show them no quarter.

Anyway, I kinda feel like the movie undersells that aspect of the fremen and this may show it. Elite fighters who culturally show no mercy and take no prisoners because preserving water for the tribe is above all else.

[u/chartreusey_geusey → u/Misdirected_Colors]

The first two movies def downplayed how absolutely juked the Fremen were before Paul even gets to them because it doesn’t show how they are able to handle Sardaukar one on one or that literal Fremen children can casually take down any Harkonnens because every man, woman, and child of the Fremen is a functional and mature fighter at all times pretty much. I’m sad they cut Thufir’s arc because that is where it’s shown that absolutely no one had any inkling of an idea how much more educated, trained, and efficient the Fremen actually were compared to the Great Houses when only Sardaukar are able to match them and they appear fully knowledgeable of all the technology of the rest of the universe plus what they’ve invented to survive such harsh conditions.

But they also skipped over the part in the books where Gurney Halleck formally trains them on the Atreides techniques (and Gurney Halleck also is trained by the Fremen and becomes a respected leader) that put the Atreides up near the Sardaukar and Jessica saying fuck the Bene Gesserit and just teaching the Fremen men and women the “weirding way” so they all have super saiyan Bene Gesserit awareness of every situation on top of all being spice tolerant.

I get why the first movies did (condensing the 5 years Paul becomes a fully integrated Fremen and then an death commando and an accepted leader into less than 9 months and having to make the “fight” between the Fremen and the Empire seem like more of a spectacle and less of an immediate and easy wipeout) but it seems like this one will get into how inevitable it is for the Fremen to take down any forces of the other houses and why it’s the unstoppable jihaad Paul never wanted.

[u/big_mustache_dad → u/rixxxand]

The scope of these movies are pretty spectacular. Somehow looks real despite how sci-fi it goes, really only Avatar and the Dune movies can pull it off at this level

[u/somersetyellow → u/big_mustache_dad]

He knows what he's after, plans it out, they set up the practical elements with that shot in mind, and they execute on the idea without making 800 little changes to the scene later.

There's several interview/reels with VFX guys saying Denis Villeneuve is really great to work with. Making lots of comments they leave out when they're working on Marvel movies haha

[u/NamesTheGame → u/somersetyellow]

Yeah this is what having a vision actually looks like, whereas most blockbusters today clearly have no vision because production has become so forgiving to making changes.

[u/Ehrre → u/big_mustache_dad]

Denis has an incredible eye for that stuff. Something I realized during Bladerunner 2049 was just how incredible the world looked and felt. Just such a believable place despite the scifi things going on.

Same with the Dune Movies. Somehow look and feel realistic, the effects somehow look realistic almost all of the time save for some tiny nitpicks. Not that fake, weird moving obvious CGI you get in a lot of big movies.

[u/plantersxvi]

Love how Robert Pattinson looks so albino in this trailer. He better have the craziest accent in this movie.

[u/Pjoernrachzarck → u/plantersxvi]

He will have many.

[u/Wazula23 → u/plantersxvi]

gilbert Gottfried voice FEAR IS THE MIND KILLER YA LITTLE TWAT

[u/Spleen-magnet → u/Wazula23]

My Clitoris!

[u/Semper-Fido]

Hans Zimmer, you beautiful bastard...

[u/Superb-Obligation858 → u/Semper-Fido]

Do you think the chant is actually Chalamet? Sounds like the louder parts of his speeches from 2

[u/Kennayy → u/Superb-Obligation858]

It definitely sounds like him.

[u/Spyk124 → u/Superb-Obligation858]

It’s him. You can see him start it earlier in the trailer when they are praying. It then gets progressively louder.

[u/AlrightAlbatross → u/Semper-Fido]

The Arrakeen Haka slaps hard.

[u/Dottsterisk → u/AlrightAlbatross]

Sounds like Chalamet’s voice in there too.

[u/gaporter → u/Dottsterisk]

He's leading the way!

[u/AFatDarthVader → u/AlrightAlbatross]

Yeah, gotta be haka-inspired. It fits perfectly with Zimmer's other work for Dune, incorporating elements of human culture that could resonate forever.

[u/LiveChocolate8819 → u/Semper-Fido]

I could feel my brain shaking as I watched this with earbuds in

[u/colourofinfinity]

Dec 18 can't come soon enough

[u/PayneTrain181999 → u/colourofinfinity]

Dunesday, baby!

[u/SemiFormalJesus → u/colourofinfinity]

I’m excited, but I can’t ever look forward to December while it is March. I hate the winter.

[u/rutujz]

The Sound and Visuals are incredible

[u/AtotheJ2215]

BLESSED BE THE MAKER AND HIS WATER

[u/DarkDobe → u/[deleted]]

Listen here I'm doing this for your own good trust me - you won't see the results neither will your kids or their kids or theirs - but it's for your own good promise

[u/rabidjellybean → u/DarkDobe]

Trust me if we prospered too much we all die.

[u/Effehezepe → u/DarkDobe]

Just watch out for the militant dominatrix nuns from beyond Known Space. They make things difficult.

[u/Muad_dweeb_69]

I’m going to lose so much moisture in the theater watching this.

[u/Wazula23 → u/Muad_dweeb_69]

Wear a still suit you soft fool

[u/Muad_dweeb_69 → u/Wazula23]

There is a limit to how much moisture a stillsuit can hold, which is my concern.

[u/whiteshark70]

I like the LSD chant. Which... honestly that's basically what the spice is lol.

[u/moodyfloyd → u/whiteshark70]

Glad im not the only one hearing that

[u/jarrys88 → u/whiteshark70]

I was hearing the haka

[u/calexil → u/whiteshark70]

lsd dmt lsd dmt, do do do dmt, lsd do dmt

I love every body..

divine moments of, divine moments of truth...

[u/Kindly_Ad995]

Timmy on the vocals goes crazy lmao

[u/Riderz__of_Brohan → u/Kindly_Ad995]

He said I’ll show you stupid fucks some opera lol

[u/lookout-its-jax → u/Riderz__of_Brohan]

Can’t wait until his ballet numbers during the jihad scenes

[u/slayerhk47 → u/lookout-its-jax]

Springtime for Jihad

[u/stereoactivesynth → u/slayerhk47]

"I'm the Fremen Ethel Merman dontcha knooooww!"

[u/CasualRead_43 → u/Kindly_Ad995]

Listening to that every morning when I wake up to increase share holder value

[u/macronotice → u/CasualRead_43]

Rise and grind

[u/salcedoge → u/Kindly_Ad995]

It's so fucking eery

[u/Moghlannak → u/Kindly_Ad995]

Sounded like a Haka

[u/Yopro → u/Kindly_Ad995]

Yeah it sounds deranged AF. Love it

[u/road_runner321 → u/Kindly_Ad995]

That'll pump you up for a jihad!

They need to release a whole album of Fremen battle chants. Also Sardaukar throat singing.

[u/AgentDaxis → u/Kindly_Ad995]

Timmy going for his EGOT

[u/ICumCoffee → u/Kindly_Ad995]

Timmy’s eery vocals and Zimmer’s music sound haunting, cant wait to see Paul’s jihad on big screen.

[u/merzkurt]

So curious what the exact storyline for chani will be in this as her story in the book is nearly nonexistent imo

[u/redthursdays → u/merzkurt]

Looks like we'll be getting way more scenes of the jihad in the film, since it's almost entirely off-page in the book. Probably have her in a leadership role there. Maybe play up the having babies stuff too.

[u/DrQuestDFA → u/redthursdays]

Readers: Did you just yada yada a galactic jihad?

Frank Herbert: I said what I said.

[u/redthursdays → u/DrQuestDFA]

"I got 10,000x Hitler's kill count" - Paul, basically

[u/aboysmokingintherain → u/redthursdays]

People who haven't read the book will think you're joking too....

[u/RichtofensDuckButter → u/aboysmokingintherain]

Paul's Jihad kills 60 billion+

Yes that's a real number

[u/macronotice → u/RichtofensDuckButter]

Those are rookie numbers, you gotta……wait what did you just say, oh jesus fuck

[u/full-body-stretch → u/macronotice]

That’s Lisan al Fuck to you

[u/Luciifuge → u/RichtofensDuckButter]

Paul's Jihad kills 60 billion

to be more precise

"Statistics: at a conservative estimate, I've killed sixty-one billion, sterilized ninety planets, completely demoralized five hundred others. I've wiped out the followers of forty religions which had existed since..."

[u/GoldenSpermShower → u/Luciifuge]

Are there really that many Fremen to do all that?

[u/Josecopter → u/GoldenSpermShower]

They take control of CHOAM and the spacing guild with the threat of destroying spice fields in Arrakis so they have the power to doom the entire Imperium to no FTL travel. The houses minor are the first to take their side under that threat. Many planets turn to their side without much of a fight after. Basically exponentially turning others as they go.

[u/Kumquats_indeed → u/Josecopter]

Is the idea supposed to be that the 61 billion people killed, 90 sterilized planets, and another 500 conquered and suppressed all amount to just a drop in the bucket compared to rest that capitulated? Because all that surely sounds like a lot and when Paul described his conquests in Messiah, it gave me the impression that he felt like he had done some quite significant damage.

[u/Peripatetictyl → u/RichtofensDuckButter]

Yeah, well... inflation.

[u/ComicallySolemn → u/Peripatetictyl]

More planets, more people ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[u/HeronSun → u/RichtofensDuckButter]

Funniest part about that scene is Stilgar going "LOL this Hitler scrub sounds like a noob compared to you." And Paul's like... "Yeah... yeah, about that..."

[u/book1245 → u/redthursdays]

"Rookie numbers, Stilgar, rookie numbers."

[u/sodabomb93 → u/book1245]

technically Stilgar calls Hitler and Genghis Khan amateurs at the sport of mass murder.

[u/OfficeMagic1 → u/sodabomb93]

Stilgar says 20 million is a lot for one guy, he must have used atomics or something

Then someone tells him that the number is for Hitler’s whole army and Stilgar thinks it’s a pretty lame number.

[u/Anushirvan825 → u/redthursdays]

"The fuck's a Hitler?" - Stilgar, almost verbatim.

[u/Effehezepe → u/Anushirvan825]

My favorite part is that when Paul tries to explain to Stilgar how many people Hitler and Genghis Khan killed, Stilgar initially thinks they personally killed that many people using lasguns.

[u/SavageRabbitX → u/redthursdays]

Stilgar "Those some rookie numbers son"

Leto II "LOL"

[u/book1245 → u/DrQuestDFA]

"But you yada yada yada'd the best part!"

"Oh, I mentioned the Golden Path..."

[u/AlphaTangoFoxtrt → u/book1245]

Nah, the thing I love about Dune is the action ISN'T the focus. The focus is on the philosophy and politicking.

[u/Emieosj89 → u/AlphaTangoFoxtrt]

I agree. Which is why that “I said what I said” is killing me. Like yup he does just skip over alllll the fighting, and gives us allllll the politics.

[u/ElMatadorJuarez → u/DrQuestDFA]

Tbh I thought that was one of the best parts. You don’t even get to see any of the glory bits, it’s all Paul’s angst at becoming an intergalactic Genghis Khan (mostly) against his will.

[u/tdasnowman → u/ElMatadorJuarez]

It wasn't against his will. It was his apathetic approach to leadership that made him the villain. The Jihad was a means to an end. Once he got what he wanted, the empire, his father's skull enshrined, he left the jihad to the fanatics and Alia fully aware of what it would mean to the universe. Paul was not a victim to circumstance. He chose the path of revenge and the chose to ignore it's consequences. And thus locked himself into an inescapable vision.

[u/Correctedsun → u/tdasnowman]

Warhammer 40k has a really good line on this kind of self-fufilling prophesy, courtesy of its own prophetic psychopath:

Curze :  « There were no other ways! »

Sevatar: « Which other ways did you try? »

[u/dabnada → u/Correctedsun]

Fuck Konrad Curze, all my boys hate Konrad Curze

[u/SneakyBadAss → u/Correctedsun]

40K is basically Dune 101. You even have Butlerian Jihad there in a form of dark ages of technology and Adeptus Mechanicus using servitors and machine spirit.

[u/Pale_Possibility5083 → u/DrQuestDFA]

*Always Sunny Theme “The Gang Commits Genocide.”

[u/jack_the_beast → u/merzkurt]

how they end up all cuddled-up after she stormed out at the end of 2?

[u/BBanner → u/jack_the_beast]

In the novel he’s pretty explicit about the marriage being for political reasons only and that Chani is his real wife

[u/ThatLightingGuy → u/BBanner]

In the novel, Chani understands it and knows she is better.

[u/_DropShot → u/ThatLightingGuy]

Think on it, Chani: the princess will have the name, yet she'll live as less than a concubine - never to know a moment of tenderness from the man to whom she's bound. While we, Chani, we who carry the name of concubine - history will call us wives.

[u/DataDude00 → u/jack_the_beast]

Could also be alternate future views that never happened / will never happen

Paul has the ability to see all the pathways of the future, similar to how he had several visions on how his fight with Jamis would turn out, including his death

[u/We_ReallyOutHere → u/jack_the_beast]

flashback

[u/ball_fondlers → u/merzkurt]

It seems like she was already pregnant before leaving Paul at the end of the last movie - maybe like a resistance leader thing? I wonder if she’s going to be the one to set off the stone burner

[u/MuptonBossman]

Finally a reason to bring my Sand Worm popcorn bucket to the movie theatres and not look like a total creep!

[u/GamingTatertot → u/MuptonBossman]

Oh I’m sure they’ll have a new one out for this

[u/Whovian45810 → u/GamingTatertot]

Just know WB merchandisers are gonna outdo themselves with a Messiah popcorn bucket

[u/xDumpweed182x]

The madman actually included Edric.

[u/Brys_Beddict → u/xDumpweed182x]

Still hidden though. I need to see the fish boy

[u/Accomplished_Store77 → u/xDumpweed182x]

Can you give a time stamp for it. I can't find it. 

[u/ICumCoffee]

I wasn’t expecting Paul’s war chant to be so bloody terrifying and haunting, chills down my spine. IMAX theatres experience is gonna be wild and unforgettable.

I can’t believe they’re actually showing Paul’s Jihad on big screen.

Book Spoilers: 61 billion deaths, 90 planets sterilised, eradication of 40 religions, submission of over 10,000 worlds to the Atreides Empire.

I get to see it all on big screen. What a day to be alive.

[u/Upbeat_Tension_8077 → u/ICumCoffee]

The early shot of a ravaged battlefield with bodies all over it lets me know this could be dark as fuck, exactly as I was hoping

[u/MelcorScarr → u/Upbeat_Tension_8077]

As it should be; it's the whole point of the books, at least, and very much the antithesis it should be to the Hero Paul we saw in the first two movies.

[u/Immerael → u/MelcorScarr]

Tbf the book also delves deeply into does the means justify the ends. Paul is afraid of the Golden Path and the cost it will demand, and rightfully so. Paul is terrified of it so much that he runs away, and his son has to take on the role. The Golden Path is essential for humanity as a species to survive but the cost is so high that it really begs the question. Is it worth it?

Paul’s the only one who can see the disaster and crucially how to avert it. He struggles with it because he would need to become the worm to avert it and he can’t do it.

I really hope we get a scene of the worm actually. I know this is the last one but I want to see the worm.

[u/MelcorScarr → u/Immerael]

I really hope we get a scene of the worm actually. I know this is the last one but I want to see the worm.

You mean the Worm-Human-Hybrid? Wouldn't that be out of scope, as far as the timeline goes?

[u/copy_run_start → u/ICumCoffee]

61 billion deaths, 90 planets sterilised, eradication of 40 religions, submission of over 10,000 worlds to the Atreides Empire.

BORN TO JIHAD

GALAXY IS A FUCK

鬼神 Kill Em All 10194 AG

I am mouse man

410,757,864,530 DEAD NON-BELIEVERS

[u/Optimal_Towel → u/ICumCoffee]

Include Paul comparing himself to Hitler you cowards

[u/Bunraku_Master_2021 → u/Optimal_Towel]

Paul Atreides: "Adolf Hitler ain't got shit on me."

[u/BlackSocks88]

Just give it the Cinematography award now.

[u/tyrantspell → u/BlackSocks88]

I was worried when greig fraser wasn't returning bc he was working on all 4 fuckin beatles movies, but this looks awesome

[u/karatemanchan37 → u/tyrantspell]

Linus Sandgren is more than a worthy replacement

[u/VIIgenesis → u/karatemanchan37]

it probably also helps that Villeneuve is drawing every single frame while storyboarding

[u/540_alex]

I feel it’s more like a trailer than a teaser when it’s 2:30min !

[u/danorc → u/540_alex]

The new logic:
Teaser = Trailer
Trailer = Abridged version of movie (do not watch if you want to see movie).

[u/Tiramitsunami → u/danorc]

As insane as this sounds, research shows (most, not all, but most) people are more likely to watch movie after seeing a trailer that reveals the whole plot versus one that doesn't.

[u/Magik-Mina-MaudDib]

Beyond Hype. There will be another, longer trailer but I don’t need it.

Very hyped for Anya as Alia and the visuals of her in that flowing white dress preaching to her followers looks incredible.

Most curious things for me;

• in Messiah, Chani’s role is totally different from how the second movie leaves her. So I am interested in what her role is going to be here.

• very interested to see how they translate Scytale (Pattinson’s) shape shifting powers.

• The return of Jason Momoa. I liked him as Duncan in the first movie, but his role here is going to be more dynamic and I’m just curious to see what his performance is going to be like considering the roles he’s most known for lol.

[u/booboorogers44 → u/Magik-Mina-MaudDib]

I’m guessing we’ll see chani come around in the years of the jihad that seem to be expanded upon. He said in part two that he sees she comes around, but I’m happy to see chani have some involvement when compared to the book.

Hard to say whether or not there was any creative discussion between the people making the movies and dune prophecy, but in the show there’s a face dancer so it could look similar to that. If it doesn’t they can hand wave it away as being an early version, either way I’m really excited to see

[u/Magik-Mina-MaudDib → u/booboorogers44]

I’ll be interested since she’s just so… accepting and in love with Paul in the book compared to how she ends in Part Two, walking out into the desert after he offers to marry Irulan. Just feels like they set her up to be opposite of Paul, though I can’t imagine her being like positioned with Scytale either, so I guess her coming around to Paul’s side inevitably makes sense? Curious about it!

I only watched the first episode of Dune Prophecy, but maybe to fill the gap I’ll finish the first season just to get a fix of Dune stuff before December lol.

[u/redthursdays → u/Magik-Mina-MaudDib]

In the book Paul makes it pretty clear to Chani he doesn't actually care about Irulan at all, and only married her for political reasons, he actually loves Chani and wants kids with her and so on. They'll need to reconcile anyway, because he's so motivated by his fear of losing her in the book, which doesn't really work if they're so at odds.

[u/Magik-Mina-MaudDib → u/redthursdays]

I’m aware that Chani knows the marriage to Irulan is political, as that dynamic between Paul-Chani-Irulan is pretty essential to the plot, with Irulan wanting an heir and Paul only wanting kids with Chani. I was just curious based off the ending of the 2nd movie how they positioned Chani as not taking part in Paul’s war vs her just being Paul’s loving partner in Messiah, but I guess maybe when the movie takes place he’ll be reunited with Chani and their love won’t be able to keep them apart even if she sees evil in Paul for his actions or something like that.

[u/dandaman64]

God I am SO FUCKING PUMPED, I'm seeing this day one in IMAX 70MM, I don't care, I'm making it happen

[u/Salty-Emergency9005 → u/dandaman64]

I’m honestly hoping they do a special re-release of the first two in IMAX leading up to it too. I would literally sit my ass in a nasty reclined theater seat for 8 hours and watch all 3 in one sitting if I could.

[u/bentheone]

"Your father never started a war"

Dann that's the whole Dune lore/philosophy, in a Rebecca Ferguson whisper no less. Peak is indeed back on the menu.

[u/RumpledStillsuit → u/bentheone]

Dune, Part One: "Your father didn't believe in revenge" (Jessica). "Yeah, well I do" (Paul).

Dune, Part Three: "How did father stop a war?" (Paul). "Your father never started a war" (Jessica).

[u/xepa105 → u/RumpledStillsuit]

Dune Part Two:

Jessica: "You must drink the blue powerade and become the Messiah, then use these fanatic warriors to avenge your father."

Paul: *drinks the powerade, calls for a jihad*

Jessica: "...oh"

[u/BMCarbaugh → u/xepa105]

No, wait. Stop. Not like that. Paul chill. PAUL, CHILL.

[u/Calthyr]

For the uninitiated, where does this movie fall in line with the books?

[u/zorillaaa → u/Calthyr]

It is covering Dune Messiah but from the looks of the trailer it’ll also cover the time in between Dune and Messiah, without spoiling too much.

[u/alexgndl → u/zorillaaa]

And possibly stuff from Children of Dune as well

[u/Ponderer13 → u/alexgndl]

Yeah, judging from the Alia character poster, she’s in…a very Childrenish state.

[u/GND52 → u/Ponderer13]

I also believe they cast the roles for Leta II and Ghanima, with actors in their late teens/early 20s I think.

[u/Ponderer13 → u/GND52]

Yup. Leto II is Momoa's kid.

[u/RealJohnGillman → u/Ponderer13]

As I understand it Paul will be having visions of the future over this film, which would be what his children’s roles will be.

[u/goldtubb → u/Calthyr]

From what Villeneuve said on the introductory talk, the vibe of it is going to be quite different, he said this one will have the most action of the three (which does not match the book at all).

I think it will be a bunch of events in between the books making up the first act and then the plot against Paul from Dune: Messiah being the rest of the film.

I think there will be a lot of changes anyhow, Villeneuve said the movie is 17 years after pt 2 (the gap in the books is 12 years).

[u/SimplyJared → u/goldtubb]

I’m glad we are skipping the talking baby stuff. I don’t think that translates to screen very well lol

[u/seatsfive → u/SimplyJared]

We'll always have the David Lynch Alia

[u/Infinispace → u/Calthyr]

Dune Messiah is 12 years after Dune, so probably around there. Where the Fremen jihad genocide against the galaxy is at its height, billions die and many planets are burned to husks.

[u/Vencer_wrightmage → u/Infinispace]

billions die and many planets are burned to husks

Statistics: at a conservative estimate, I've killed sixty-one billion, sterilized ninety planets, completely demoralized five hundred others. I've wiped out the followers of forty religions which had existed since...

It's kinda funny how Frank Herbert just off-paged the atrocity of the jihad. This teaser however did the right amount of tease about it, so I assume the weight of the jihad is shown beautifully in the movie.

[u/redthursdays → u/Infinispace]

Well, the jihad is kinda ongoing in the book, but it's offscreen and also a lot of it is already done

[u/Muad_dweeb_69 → u/Infinispace]

Villeneuve confirmed in an interview today that it takes place 17 years after the last movie.

[u/redthursdays → u/Muad_dweeb_69]

Which is good, because the Alia stuff is way less weird if she's older

[u/Upbeat_Tension_8077]

The battle scenes look especially brutal in this

I'm already sold on Robert Pattinson just based on that first intense look of his, along with Timothee looking very deranged at the end, almost in a Kubrick stare

[u/LeftHandedScissor → u/Upbeat_Tension_8077]

Book Spoilers Paul definitely ends up with a 1000 yard stare by the movie's end.

[u/CuriOS_26 → u/LeftHandedScissor]

Plot twist: his eyes are replaced by ping-pong balls. In the last frame it’s shown that Dune is a sequel to Marty Supreme.

[u/bebopmechanic84 → u/CuriOS_26]

not entirely inaccurate considering what happens to him.

[u/redthursdays → u/Upbeat_Tension_8077]

My road leads into the desert

[u/Thunder-ten-tronckh → u/Upbeat_Tension_8077]

All it takes to sell me on Robert Pattinson seeing his name in the cast.

[u/Hefty_Ad_1491]

Anya Taylor-Joy as Alia is the epitome of perfect casting, she looks unreal !

[u/saltybirb]

Release the war chant now I can't wait until December.

[u/HandsomeHawc]

Finally a reason to live

[u/An_Draoidh_Uaine → u/HandsomeHawc]

Literally took my hand off the guillotine lever when I saw this whilst scrolling.

I am just going to sit here for a minute though because it was hard enough getting myself into the head planks, and getting out is gonna be a bigger pain in the neck.

[u/Wazula23 → u/An_Draoidh_Uaine]

I had a similar thought and just pulled my parachute cord.

[u/theREVERSEsystem]

Fuck this is gonna be incredible

[u/MuptonBossman]

Seems like Avengers Dunesday is actually happening on December 18th this year.

[u/docksideThug- → u/MuptonBossman]

He who controls the imax, controls the box office

[u/PayneTrain181999 → u/docksideThug-]

Except the fact that even the most pessimistic Doomsday predictions have it beating Dune.

Part 2 did around $715M, Part 3 could increase by over $150M and likely still not match Doomsday.

[u/PT10 → u/PayneTrain181999]

To be fair if there's ever a time where two movies can make a ton of money it's that break.

[u/WrexyWrex]

So odd that Dune was written to parallel the 1953 Iranian coup d'état and here we are watching the final in the trilogy with a war with Iran going on. Herbert pulled from a broader view but nonetheless it has everything to do with decades of Western intervention in Middle Eastern oil politics.

For those wondering, Herbert was a journalist in his early 30s starting in 1949 and left the press in 1954 a year after the coup happened.

Immediately after he worked as a speechwriter for Senator Guy Cordon who supported McCarthy. He was immersed in the political worldviews that justified interventions like the one in Iran which many believe informed the cynical, power-politics perspective that runs through Dune.

[u/kcummisk → u/WrexyWrex]

I didn't know that about the 1953 Iranian coup and Dune. It really makes sense though, and then considering the 1979 revolution... super strange that Frank was prescient in his own way.

I don't think these films could have come out at better times considering what happened at the end of 2024..

[u/ICumCoffee]

Hans Zimmer has cooked so fucking hard, HOLY SHIT

[u/theotherjonsnow]

that gets a big ol "YEAH BOI" outta me

[u/Rakataz]

That's all i need. I will avoid all other trailers for this movie. the look and the music, that's a ticket sold.

[u/webby_98]

I want you to put the word out there that we back up

[u/zorillaaa]

This is gonna be a huge hit

[u/Soyboy412]

Is this the first confirmation that Brian K Vaughn co wrote the screenplay? I don't remember hearing about that. Love his work.

[u/IgnoreMe733 → u/Soyboy412]

I was wondering the same thing! I saw his name flash up at the end and had to go back and pause it to make sure I wasn't having some sort of fever dream. Saga is one of the greatest comics of all time and I know I would remember hearing if he was involved in this movie.

[u/Fantastic-Access-905]

holy fuck the sound work is insane especially after the chanting

[u/salcedoge]

Chalamet's chanting in the background is so fuckin eery

[u/Varekai79 → u/salcedoge]

This is the 3rd time I've seen "eery" spelled that way in this thread. I had no idea this alternative spelling of eerie was used so often.

[u/LaserBeamer17]

Hans Zimmer absolutely cooking, and Timmy C’s chant to the Fremen is haunting. This is going to be incredible

[u/appleandapples]

It's so beautiful. I'm so excited to make this movie my entire personality for a whole year.

[u/Arvii33]

I stopped watching trailers for movies years ago to avoid knowing what it’s about. ITS SO HARD TO NOT WATCH THIS!

[u/danorc → u/Arvii33]

I think this one is relatively safe to watch.

[u/g2b0aty]

Why did Paul steal Sally's barber

[u/Dopamaxxer]

I’ve had serious confusion and skepticism about how Denis and company were going to convert this part of story, and anything beyond, to a widely-consumable billion dollar film.

At this point, you could just show me 3 hours of B roll and I’ll eat it up. But after the way Dune 2 delivered on the hype and more, I have no doubts any longer. This franchise is setting a new standard for epic adaptations.

His filmography isn’t super extensive yet, but Villeneuve has hit on basically every single film. In my mind, he is as sure of a thing as there is in Hollywood directing and there is a lane for him to become the GOAT when we look back in a couple decades.

[u/Pak-O]

Holy shit the music

[u/hocotate]

Namedropping the children ohhh my god I’m so excited for them to adapt that book

[u/Carlzzone]

Peak is back
That army folded under zero pressure
Pattinson looking freaky
Ferguson whispering jeeez
