DUNE Community |OT| Fear is the Mind-Killer

[Pavemaniac]

Interesting quote, translated from an interview in the latest edition of Il Venerdì di Repubblica:

"I wanted the film to be believable, I didn't look for exoticism. I wanted everyday light, not perfect sunsets or sunrises. I wanted it to be accessible and understandable. Only then would viewers focus on the characters and their relationships, without being distracted."

I've read a lot of criticism that the film doesn't look 'exotic' enough and/or that it looks very washed-out and dull. It seems Villeneuve was aware of what would be expected by some with a Dune adaptation but purposely chose not to go down that route.

I agree with his decision.

 

[west]

About the color temperature. Arakkis should have a white sun right? It's mentioned in the books, there is so little water in the atmostphere that the sky is not blue, rather almost black in the day and the sun is white not yellow. So the cold colors in the movie is more correct than the posters.

Dune 2 is not a sure thing – but director Denis Villeneuve is optimistic

Exclusive: "There’s no such thing as Dune 1 and Dune 2. It’s Dune: Part One and Dune: Part Two," Villeneuve tells Total Film

www.gamesradar.com

"There's no such thing as Dune 1 and Dune 2. It's Dune: Part One and Dune: Part Two," director Denis Villeneuve

...

"So the first thing was to prove that there was a beautiful, popular movie that can exist, and I think that I proved that – everybody at Warner Bros and Legendary, they are 100 percent behind the project. They feel that it would need a really bad outcome at the box office to not have a Dune: Part Two, because they love the movie. They are proud of the movie, so they want the movie to move forward. And they still did half of it. So, you know, I'm very optimistic."

...

As for Villeneuve, he's currently hard at work on that return trip, praying to the makers that enough people share his dreams. "I'm writing [Part Two] now, and I feel like I'm eight years old again," he says, flashing a childlike grin. "That's very uncommon for me. It's the first time I've experienced it where I'm watching one of my movies, and I have a moment of deep gratitude, of deep joy, and I say, 'Thank you, life, for having allowed me to bring that to the screen.'

Here's a new Japanese Trailer with new footage for you.

- YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

The scale is mindnumbing!

 

[Tuorom]

omg I'm so excited for this damn movie

Bardem as the Fremen Naib Stilgar, so good

Zendaya actually seems to nail it as Chani

I can't get over the casting it's amazing

 

[Mobius 1]

A few new shots in the Japanese trailer, worth watching if you are dying to see more of the heighliners.

 

[Wollan]

The Japanese trailer is great. Uses the superior trailer music. Cool new space shots too.

Film is premiering September 15th in my country! Waiting for tickets to go on sale.

 

[Wollan]

Norwegian promos (four of them), several new glimpses. An amazing vista scene on Caladan with a space ship in the sea:

"I'm 99.87% certain that Epstein didn't' kill himself".

 

[Wollan]

So many regional trailers dropping these days with new glimpses of footage. Don't feel the point at posting them all since the movie is 'around the corner' but it's looking fantastic. They really play with scale in this film but also moving-camera shots (and handcam) when they want to bring it closer. There's one scene that looks to be very spoilerific and that's not 1:1 with the book (more due to lack of detail) but looks very promising.
What's interesting this week is that we should get our first in-detail reviews after the movie has its world-premiere in Venice this Thursday. Hype!

 

[Penny Royal]

Just found out Dune has been delayed (again) in Aus until December.

IMH I'm disconsolately kicking a can down the road with my shoulders slumped.

 

[timeforsana]

 

[Gemüsepizza]

Lmao, just saw this now... what the hell is wrong with those release dates?

Germany / EU:
September 16

USA / UK:
October 22 -> 36 days later

Australia:
December 2 -> 77 days later

Still not sure if I should watch it in theater or wait for the home release. The decision for making part 2 surely won't be just based on box office performance, right? Would be kind of silly in these times...

It's Warner Brothers.

It absolutely will be, and they won't acknowledge their own insanity and idiocy as part of the problem either. Sending the film out with release dates like that is sending it out to die.

 

[Video Kojima]

Just FYI we US and UK folks have to wait another 5 weeks because of James Bond. Meanwhile everyone else gets to watch it Mid September.

Unbelievable.

Dont think 'everyone else' is quite right.

If you look a few posts up you'll see it seems Australia is set to get it in December. Although a lot of Australia is in lockdown so wouldn't even be possible for those places to probably see it in cinemas there mid September.

 

[luca]

I'm gonna have to keep an eye out for tickets if it really premieres here on September 16.

 

[Deleted member 198]

I wonder if someone at WB thinks the staggered release will help build word of mouth

 

[Soundscream]

Waiting till October sucks....but at least I can't really be spoiled in this instance.

It absolutely won't, and they know it won't. This will really hurt the film - it's going to be pirated to fuck and back. I honestly think Warner wants this to flop so they don't have to make a sequel at this point.

Even if not staggered, releasing it on HBO Max at the same time means death by piracy. It will be on torrent sites 2 hours after the premiere. WB really is run by imbeciles.

 

[Video Kojima]

Staggered releases never work and undermine word of mouth. You think Twitter hype will mean anything , 5 weeks later?
Unfathomable to not just release it all on the same day.
Also James Bond will probably get another delay.

 

[rsfour]

Feels bad, I could watch it next week at TIFF, but the prices are brutal.

I don't have any numbers, just anecdotal observation of rampant piracy, especially outside the United States.

On another note, the first impressions and reviews for the film are due in the next few hours. Strap in.

 

[Indy in the Fridge]

What is the easiest way I can differentiate between Duncan Idaho and Gurney Halleck when reading the book? I struggle to separate them since their roles and demeanors are really similar.

Gurney Halleck is the one with the baliset that sings the songs.

 

[Wollan]

Apparently the first screening of Dune in Venice (world premiere) finishes in 12 hours 15 minutes from now (1:45 am PT, 10:45 am CEST/local). So that's the first possible moments we can start to see impressions dropping on Twitter.

 

[Zebesian-X]

Is it even possible for the general public to buy tix to a TIFF screening? I'd definitely be willing to make the drive but I suspect it's all sold out by now right

 

[cognizant]

It is amusing how little a character Duncan Idaho is in the first book. Of all the cast, he's the least developed by far. It's fascinating how he ends up in the series.

 

[Wollan]

The Sketchbook soundtrack (explorative music that didn't end up in the film) is now live on YouTube:


I hope the full movie soundtrack is half as alien and spiritual like this.

I actually wonder if he has more than a page of dialogue.. He does play an important role but yeah; I remember him being mostly present through references. But given the importance of the character to Paul (especially in later books) it makes sense to have more focus on him in the movie.

 

[Wollan]

First impression I believe. This reviewer went immediately from watching Dune to watching Spencer so I guess this is all he had time to write in-between (some other reviewers are now watching Dune second showing after having watched Spencer) :
