Thanos, Drax, AND Aquaman in the same movie?!?
Aquaman knows it's in the middle of the fucking planet-wide desert right? Drax VS Shai-Hulud... "I have single-handedly slain the beast!"

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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 Jodorosky Dune would have been an abomination and it was rightly killed. People who saw the documentary and said "oh man it would have been so great!" are an example of how easy it is to manipulate people with a slick media presentation. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: One was defensive in nature, the other a conquest. Arguable, in the case of the Crusades for the Holy Land (the Muslims had been in possession of the Holy Land for a loooong time before the Emperor tried to get mercs from Pope Urban....which is what precipitated the First Crusade). The Northern Crusades (where the Teutonic Knights murdered the shit out of any pagans they saw) were expressly offensive campaigns, meant to colonize and convert the Baltic regions. The Reconquista was, again, only arguably "defensive", since it began long after the Muslim conquest of most of Iberia. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. |

Probably be one of those watch it on DVD. And yeah I admit I'm a Dune snob. I've read all the books at least 3 times.....DUNE way more than that.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have liked Momoa since SGA but i am skeptical he can fill the Mentat role Duncan becomes later. Duncan becomes more integral later in the series. Momoa's acting will be stretched if the directors are true to the Duncan caracter. This is especially true if they continue on with the series. I hope Momoa can do the Mentat side. Valid concern, though I think Momoa has been improving as an actor so he may be able to pull it off and the make the transition from warrior to thinker all the better. I'll remain cautiously optimistic on this front. |

That assumes that there will be movies beyond the two for Dune. Duncan Idaho as a Mentat only becomes an issue for Momoa if they do the books after. And then if he can't, they can just replace him and say it was a change resulting from how he was....found. (not going to spoil) |

I'm quite excited about this.
I read the series many times when I was a kid, and watched the movies a bunch of times. The Bene Gesserit mother in the trailer looks like an accurate homage to the original Reverend Mother. The original casting of Kyle MacLachlan never made sense to me, he seemed too old to me. This new kid looks exactly as my mind imagines. Super excited about this one. -Cav |

Dune really calls for a longer treatment than a 2 hour movie, but we'll see. I honestly think they could split it into a 3 part trilogy:
Part 1 - intro to Dune, and everything that happens up to the Harkonnen attack Part 2 - escape, hiding, etc. Part 3 - Paul turns into a man and comes back to defeat the Emperor There's absolutely no reason to deal with any of the later books. To be honest, they're just not that good. (And I say that as somebody who re-reads them every 5-10 years, with the mistaken hope that I'll be pleasantly surprised). God Emperor isn't too bad, but the rest are tedious reads, with a few tidbits here and there. By the time Chapterhouse comes along, it's just hundreds of pages of scheming nuns. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Definitely read at least the first book, Dune, before the movie comes out. 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. thats actually a pretty good question. to read the books or not. i read the first book when it was first published in the 60s. very good book. but a lot of the story takes place in the minds of the characters and that makes scripting it as a visual (movie) experience very difficult. and no one has been able to do it so far. will this new movie 'work'? who knows. obviously the CGI will be very good and its necessary for this movie, but the story itself is difficult to translate to the screen. now, as to read the book(s)? you'd almost be better off reading the first book after you see the movie to reduce the potential for disappointment. the first book is one of the all time best scifi stories ever done and sets and extremely high expectation of what the movie should be. i didnt read the second book until many years later and it absolutely sucked as far as im concerned so i did not read any of the subsequent books. and i have read a shit-ton of scfi (and other) books over the years, all of the award winners and just about anything else going back into the early 60s. the books i wanna see put to film (or a hbo series as some would do better at that format) are the red-rising series and from a long time ago, lord of light (by zelazny). frankly i dont understand why the red rising series hasnt made to film yet (though there was some early attempts) as its a tier one set of books, equal to anything extant today including RR Martins stuff. |

The butchered up Dune film from the 80s is still one of my favorites and that director hit it out of the park with his Bladerunner sequel.

I had this thought and wanted to share it. If there was ever a modern movie where they could cast non-white actors through out the film this would be the one. The known universe is more than the 3 planets that come to the forefront in the book. We see they have cast an Asian for the Dr so I kinda hope they expand on that when we get to the court with all the representatives from different worlds. The Reverend Mothers would be another excellent spot for some non-forced diversity. The Guild is yet another excellent place. Show Hollyweird how to have diversity in a cast that no one will bat an eye at.
