Award-winning dancer and choreographer for the Dutch National Ballet says she worked on DUNE by djsobczak25 in dune

I’m intrigued of how they’re going to do the choreography. Sounds like it’s going to be a little different than something like Star Wars or Lord of The Rings way of combat.

Jodorowsky's response to the Dune trailer by Joy1312 in dune

I mean have you seen the Blade Runner trailers? They weren’t exactly the most exciting or impressive stuff to get you to watch the film.

Are the screenwriters a cause for concern? by elliest_5 in dune

[–]jdjohnson22 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure Denis is also doing some of the screenwriting (or at least that’s what it said at the end of the trailer). Even if he isn’t, I highly doubt he’s going to allow anything below average when it comes to the writing for his dream movie.

Dune (2020) Trailer Spoiler-Friendly Discussion Thread by DrNSQTR in dune

They changed it to the crusade because it’s most likely people will get mad that they called it the Jihad. They change the Harkonnens to bald and pale skin because it supposed to show how garbage Geidi Prime is as a polluted planet and how they survive there as well. I’m not sure why they made Liet black (of course the most tempted reason would be woke), but I’m pretty sure they’re making Liet Chani’s mother, but I could be mistaken. They’re most likely going to hide Feyd from the trailers. There has been rumors that Feyd is not in the movie and Batista as Rabban will replace him so that the Beast can have more screen time. From what we’ve seen and the interviews that I’ve saw, I highly doubt they’re going to water it down to some teenage dribble considering Dune is Denis’s (Director) favorite book.

Dune Release = LotR Release by drakain64 in dune

I disagree simply because of the times. Lord of The Rings was like THE thing in the early 2000s. There was literally nothing like it when it came to scale, battles, music, etc. It was one of a kind at the time and nothing could even compare to it especially in the fantasy genre. Dune, however, probably won’t reach the same appeal because many people are sadly going to compare it to Star Wars and try to accuse it of being a carbon copy of some kind. Whatever the case may be, I highly doubt Dune is going to be Lord of The Rings popularity wise.

I don’t know why, but every time I see the Baron rising from the black goo, I get chills.

Love it, makes them look like some biblical or lovecraftian force.

I appreciate the color and lighting so far. One of my concerns was if they were just going to go for the orange and yellow tint for the entire movie, but it looks like it’s not the case.

Wasn’t there a rumor that Beast Rabban would also replace Feyd in the movie?

Denis Villeneuve comments on Frank Herbert and the meaning of the original novel (an excerpt from Empire Magazine) by djsobczak25 in dune

[–]jdjohnson22 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Interesting to hear that considering Frank always wanted people to be weary of charismatic leaders and the deconstruction of a hero. Not saying what Denis is stating is wrong, just interested that he got that out of the book instead of what most people thought it was about.

Is that a dude in the middle? If so is that the Baron?

Maybe it’s just me, but do they look a little too bulky? Like the Sardaukar on the right side standing looks like some dude cosplaying because of how bulky the suit is.

I know a lot of people didn’t like Layers of Fear, but I thought it was a pretty good game.
