Vanity Fair: More DUNE First Looks
- Thread starter Kenzodielocke
- Start date
Weird to see Rebecca Ferguson play Timothee Chalamet's other when she's only 12 years older than him.
Don't really care for the majority of Villeneuve's work, but BR2049 is as close to being a masterpiece as a sci-fi flick can be. I have high hopes for this. Costumes are beautiful for sure.
As far as the cast is concerned, I think it seems pretty promising. Rebecca Ferguson is going to steal every scene she has. Still can't decide whether or not Zendaya can act. She is pretty bad in Euphoria and good in Spider-Man.

I never set foot into the world of DUNE... wondering if I should read or wait for this movie. Looks interesting

The article says WB agreed on telling the story in two films like it did with "It". Up until now the line from the creatives has seemed to be "If part one is successful we will get a part two", but I wonder if this is the first confirmation that the second part is coming.
Going by the article it was what Villeneuve wanted otherwise he would have stepped out.
Ha! It's actually the only film of his I don't love, even if there are things I like about it. It's my main cause for concern, because I have found his smaller scale intimate movies more appealing than his one other big sci fi blockbuster. I will keep an open mind though.
It's never come off like that to me. They've never said we'll only get the second part if the first one does well. That's entirely on people who've by default been thinking this, because that's what's made sense. I've always felt like Denis made sure Legendary would agree to do both parts before he even got off the ground.
Josh Brolin... Incredible.
I wouldn't regard her work as poor in any film or TV show, still, I'd actually be closer to invert that sentence. A role like MJ in Spider-Man could be played as effortlessly by many actresses, not necessarily popular or highly-talented; her Euphoria's role however is much more complex than anything she's done until now, if anything, it served to show she's ready to tackle dramatic characters with fine results, as long as it fits her age and background.
Tbh Dune's story doesn't interest me as much anymore. Especially after knowing that it's Leto's story and his goals are what ends up being the main and most prominent story in the whole series, and it doesn't look like they're interested in ever making movies about those.
Reminds me of a cross between the armour used by Zod etc in Man of Steel and the Iron Man Mk2.
Yea that caught my eye too. That almost sounded like a confirmation that the 2nd movie is locked in.
Aquaman.
It probably is. They got the writer's room ready last November to do the second part. Spaiths was already focusing on it while he quit the HBO series.
I'm loving what I'm seeing here so far. Villeneuve has been on one hell of a hot streak for ages now and it feels like Dune will be another gem from the man. Hopefully we'll get a trailer soon.
I certainly hope so.

Looking good. The only thing I can criticize is the room their standing in looks too plain in that third shot if it is indeed the palace on Arrakis. No way Harkonnens would have any room so unadorned.
- Nose plugs are in!
- The blue-eye effect is more understated than Lynch's (doesn't seem to 'glow').

No glowglobes? Wow Denis has no respect for the loredigging that lamp
(glowglobes may be Fremen tech actually I can't remember for sure)
OP you forgot one image
Man, Denis looks like he's in the zone in this picture. lmao His eyes are intense!
Suits look great.
Could have sworn you were trying to slip in a prequel trilogy pic here.

Honestly? Kind of feel the same way.
These stills don't look bad, but they do give off a very "cable show with a mid-high budget" vibe.
One thing I'm really interested to see as far as the look of the movie goes is how they are going to make it look futuristic.
These days every movie/TV show tends to rely on holograms and all forms of UI/HUD interface etc to give that futuristic look, but in Dune even the simplest form of computing is forbidden so what we will get is going to be so wildly different from everything else.

Well, there are machines, just no computers, AIs and shit. You still got spaceships, etc.
Man, I can't think of any cable show that looks as well shot as this.
Same.
When a poster mentioned that Momoa is in the pic I was trying to find him, eventhough the poster labelled everyone in order. I had to squint to recognise him lol
I think it will be something that hardcore sci-fi fans will love. But for the general audience, it might as well be Jupiter Ascending or something
Yea but all mechanical, nothing digital but still futuristic, meaning they won't even be able to rely on the usual things that we see in sci fi these days.
Like the spaceships are navigated by humans at the end of the day, so it'd be like a futuristic machine but without even the most basic form of computer.
That's every single pre-release still in existence though. Kind of hard to judge the movie based off these pictures without proper cinematography and color correcting.
That said, yes this movie will still bomb hard.
