"Crusade" instead of "Jihad?"

I noticed that, not sure how i feel about it. Not sure if it's an attempt to be PC, or just a result of teh word "jihad" being now tied so closely to real-world terrorism.

Definitely read at least the first book, Dune, before the movie comes out.

Interesting comment: The song being played is a reworking of Pink Floyd's Eclipse from Dark Side of the Moon, which is clearly a nod at Jodorowsky's concept for his original Dune movie; Pink Floyd was set to perform music for that original and I think we may get a beautiful homage to some of Jodorowsky's vision here.

The Fremen Jihad wasn't going to be all hugs and kisses and Paul knew it.

I've never read the books, and never saw the movie with Sting and Kyle Maclachlan.  About all I remember from snippets I've seen of that one is the fat guy floating around and Sting saying "I will KILL him!"

If you don’t they movie won’t make sense. It is a very complicated story.

The visuals look very good.  It is a brutal story with a lot of pain.

Looks good, but I'm just not convinced you can condense the book into a movie with good results.

Its not about it being super high brow literature or anything, there is just a lot going on. This might have been better suited to a netflix series.

I like the 80's movie but it was a pretty poor adaption from a script that obviously didn't understand what Dune was about.  The Sci-Fi network miniseries they did were a much better take on it.

The "Jihad", in Dune-verse, is a Fremen (them being descended from the "zensunni") concept.  Paul, if he's talking prior to having lived with them, would likely use the term "Crusade" (the Known Universe at large is mostly some kind of weird Christian-derived melange).


Of course, Herbert confuses things because everyone calls the revolt against the Machines the Butlerian Jihad.


Eh.

ETA: I haven’t read the books, only watched the original film and then read up on the stories. I feared the reading the books would ruin the movie for me.

I think i saw somewhere that it is going to be 2 movies just to cover the story in Dune. Still probably not enough, but way better than doing it in 1 movie.

Both are theologically driven military campaigns against unbelievers.

In the book he constantly references the potential Fremen conquest as a jihad.  Not sure if I care if they change it in the movie.

It's always referred to as Muad'Dib's Jihad in the books.

Well, that looks amazing.  It won't take much to improve on a David Lynch film so my bar is pretty low, but the casting, tone and visuals seem on point.

Except that we have the Butlerian Jihad.  Jihad appears to be the dominant word for the concept.

Exactly.

Don't care either way though.  Both words mean the same thing to me.

The dominant religious text at the time was the Orange Catholic Bible, which was a mix of all major old Earth religions.

It was supposed to be a fusion of all significant religious thought in human history, with a strong emphasis on religious beliefs originating on Earth. These included the Maometh Saari, Mahayana Christianity, Zensunni Catholicism, and Budislamic traditions. It was produced by the Commission of Ecumenical Translators in the wake of the Butlerian Jihad.

I'm a pretty pessimistic guy about Hollywood's ability to make any movies that don't club you over the head with current day politics but this trailer looks pretty decent.

I loved Bladerunner 2049 (same director) but I'm still leery of some of the woke signaling I've seen in the prerelease press for this movie.

While I'm still not OK with the completely unnecessary gender swapping of Kynes, the rest of the casting seems pretty dang good. Jason Momoa in particular looks like a great Duncan Idaho.

Why does Hollywood insist on sticking to a now very tired and worn out formula for trailers?  Deep BOOM sounds to create a sense of dread, with an older pop/rock song, redone in a super slowed down dramatic fashion?

I love Dune 1984 (we are watching it now with our 14 year old), so I'm not so sure about this one yet.  So much CGI, the worms look fake as crap.  Maybe it's just the way the trailer is done.  I loved Bladerunner 2049 so I have hope.

It was justified. The Cathars were racists.
