Yeah, we could be getting approximately 4,5-5 hours total of Dune with this and Part 2.
I, yet again, pray for the Makers at WB/Legendary (or whoever makes the decision).
2.5 hours is a good runtime. It should give Villeneuve enough time to cover the first part of the book comfortably in his style, and it's not too long to alienate the casual viewer.
Rides entirely on how well this performs. last I read a script for part 2 wasn't even started.
Over the past 5 years of insane stories, it really just seems like Warner Brothers is an absolute mad house.
It's poor decision making. There is a proven record of filming larger projects like this at the same time, and they're dealing with an accomplished director with a fantastic track record. Yet they're happy to waste money on Zach Snyder cut nonsense, twice.Definitely not the same financial commitment but it shows where their priorities lie.
It is the stupidest decision in modern film. Either you have confidence in the project and reap the cost benefits of filming back to back or you don't have the confidence in which case you don't green light in the first place.
Well said. If you have confidence, you greenlight and film them back to back which saves on cost. I'm so worried we never get a finished story from this.
I simply cannot shake the feeling that Warner has already made up its mind to not greenlight the continuation from both the standpoint of commercial projections for the first film and the "broken" relationship between the studio and Legendary Entertainment/Villenueve over the HBO Max "day and date" streaming fiasco.
The film would have to significantly exceed Warner's internal rate of return for them to overcome the opportunity costs of funding the second film.

Yeah they really fucked up if this is the proper fight and not just the earlier confrontation in the Cave of Birds or whatever.
HOLY SHIT these look good.
Glad they didn't went with the usual blue and orange filter for these.
I bet this is earlier.
Depending on how they slice this, the final Jamis confrontation could be the climax of the film.
A question about this fight in the books.
Wasn't this fight inside a cave, in the dark illuminated only by glow globes? and weren't they both almost naked without stillsuit? OR Did I misunderstood those details?
if it is exactly as I remember it, then I feel they might have wasted some potential with that scene; especially the rawness that could've been exuded out of that scene, just by imagining it.
Edit: ohh! it may be the first confrontation instead of the second one. Although I don't like the change to daytime; unless we are being misled by they doing some cinematography magic similar to the 1917 movie's chase scene where they filmed it in plain daylight and edited it to night.

I'm not sure when others around the world are able to visit their IMAX (New Zealand and Australia surely have by now? Twitter doesn't show any impressions however) but the UK is having IMAX showings today in ~4 hours 30 min from now.
First 10 minutes of movie + new trailer. Looking forward to Twitter-Impressions(tm).

The eyes argument will rage on eh?
If people need an example of how challenging fully colored eyes can be for dramatic acting, look at the Engineers from Prometheus. It looks great but definitely can obscure subtle expressions, and it may look unnerving to some. And when you realize that later in the story most characters will look like that… I think the compromise here is perfectly fine. List-Kyne's looks amazing.

Sounds like the movie has a narrated opening in the fashion of LOTR, though more centered on the current situation (no history lesson on the Butlerian Jihad etc.), to give the basics.

Trailer's out for everyone tomorrow!
(I've heard this change is to get out ahead of the Olympics, but I'm not 100% sure. It was definitely originally slated for Friday).

Wait WHAT.
What half? Do you mean only Dune and not Messiah? Or half of the first book itself?
