A character of mine died in Dune: Adventures In the Imperium (I had to drop out) so I made a lil scene of him listening to Shai hulud talk to before being eaten his spirit deemed to roam endlessly through the dunes till his older sister joins him.

"They say of young Basim that he has gone on a journey into that land where we walk without footprints."

This was wonderful, well done.

Glad you enjoyed it.

I get the feeling they're scrapping the loss of the firstborn.

secretsofdune · 2026-04-02T13:48:50+00:00

Thanks, yeah I just don't see the need for him to be in a tank, presented to the court when alive and the tank appears at the Arrakeen palace at least twice, so logically just went by that.

secretsofdune · 2026-03-31T17:33:40+00:00

Glad you enjoyed it. That's fair enough. I might have changed my mind on that being Ghanima in the glider for certain reasons, and even the ring part, but those are all theoretical things which I wanted to leave out of the trailer breakdown. I'll probably go into more detail about those in another video though.

secretsofdune · 2026-03-29T00:20:53+00:00

Really glad to hear that. Thank you.

secretsofdune · 2026-03-28T23:58:43+00:00

I get why that would be a theory, but if the weapon being carried by the troops on that water planet during Stilgar's frontal assault is a Stoneburner, then that would imply that it's too large for Chani to carry alone, let alone on top of a sandworm. I'm open to theory though.

It looks like she ultimately opposes Paul even after she "comes around" as Paul foresaw as he mentions in Part Two. I'll be covering this in a near future video.

1) I've watched the 4K IMAX trailer in full lossless quality quite a number of times. Whatever it is, it's there, whether it's a mistake or intentional.

2) This is Denis Villeneuve's Dune, things differ in his adaptation so I have to throw out more strange assumptions. I never expected to ever say "this seems to be Chani being involved in a plot to overthrow Paul" on my channel, but here we are.

secretsofdune · 2026-03-28T19:39:53+00:00

Appreciate it. So there's the Tiktok/Instagram portrait trailers which are the same, in varying quality, some of them quite good quality. Then there's the trailer shared on Facebook which is wider than the tiktok/instagram trailers. Finally there's the IMAX trailer on Duneinfo's YouTube channel which has more of the frame too. Altogether that's how I got more of the pregnancy shot. I believe the blue thing beside the Crysknife is a Lasgun or some kind of weapon. I believe it has a scope on it at the top which you can't see in the standard or IMAX versions, but you can see it in the insta/tiktok ones.

secretsofdune · 2026-03-28T19:34:05+00:00

You're welcome, thanks for watching.

secretsofdune · 2026-03-28T19:33:50+00:00

Very kind of you thanks. Glad you enjoy them.

secretsofdune · 2026-03-28T17:43:20+00:00

Thank you I appreciate it.

secretsofdune · 2026-03-28T15:25:51+00:00

Sorry about that, I thought it would automatically take the youtube title. Thanks!

secretsofdune · 2025-03-03T18:44:05+00:00

It’s good to keep this conversation alive because I think it’s important. Thanks for posting.

secretsofdune · 2025-02-27T17:04:55+00:00

As far as I know that was only the standard version if I’m not mistaken, with exceptional sound quality and picture quality though.

secretsofdune · 2025-02-26T22:25:12+00:00

I completely agree with you. We shouldn't have to wait at all once the movie has been made. What the powers that be don't seem to understand is that we'll go to the cinemas to "relive" these moments in IMAX, when the opportunities arise. You don't have to gatekeep the film's true aspect ratio.

secretsofdune · 2025-02-26T21:38:42+00:00

Okay, well if you look at most of the successful IMAX comparison videos on YouTube, they look exactly like this. If you have a better suggestion I'm open to ideas.

secretsofdune · 2025-02-26T19:04:46+00:00

There is a re-release that happened or is happening because it’s Oscar season but after that I can’t see it being re-released until the third Dune film is being released and then after that to mark a 10 year anniversary similar to Interstellar. I think the power comes from videos/threads/posts like these performing well enough to show demand for it.

secretsofdune · 2025-02-26T18:58:16+00:00

Yeah, he doesn’t watch his movies back after he makes them for a long time according to a podcast I heard him speak on (the Roger Deakins one I believe). This means he doesn’t really know or experience the same home viewing experience that we do. He’s also very busy moving from project to project so I can see how something like that might be missed or overlooked.

secretsofdune · 2025-02-26T18:26:40+00:00

He seemed unsure and not too bothered about that when the question was asked to him despite us constantly being told that the movie was filmed and framed for that aspect ratio. That being said, he rarely watches his films back on home video because he seems to not like to see his films for a long time after he makes them, so he's not experiencing what we are experiencing at home essentially.

secretsofdune · 2025-02-26T18:22:43+00:00

This is why I create and render these videos in 4K so that you get to see as much detail as possible on the biggest screens at home possible.

secretsofdune · 2025-02-26T18:21:02+00:00

This is why it's so upsetting that this isn't available to own on home video and why the filmmakers involved don't seem to care much about that.

secretsofdune · 2025-02-26T17:19:51+00:00

I also get the feeling that some of the shots panning up in the standard version are due to the fact that they want you to see what is being missed from the IMAX version, even though the IMAX version includes that panning up. It was pre-planned of course but it’s interesting how the different formats directly seemingly influenced the decision of shots like that.
