Wait. Is this movie only half of the book?

The Baron’s whole plan makes no sense without Feyd Rautha.

Yeah it was announced to be only the first half of the book a long time ago. It seems likely the movie will end shortly after paul is accepted by the fremen. (due to jamis having been cast in the film).

And they’re not filming the second half simultaneously?

Nope, the script for the second half is already a work in progress though. They could get warner bros/legendary to agree to film both parts simultaneously. But apparently there is some kind of contractual agreement for the second part. If this first movie tanks, they could try and wiggle out of that though.

So then it’s practically confirmed: there will be no second half.

It's releasing only in theaters at a time when theater patronage is very heavily down(thanks COVID!) and is a FX laden film?

Same reason, I think, most people expect New Mutants to bomb while the films that are doing theater and On Demand/home rental/purchase(Bill and Ted Face the Music, for example, is already available to own while also in theaters) combined releases are doing much better.

I thought the same thing when I read that they were not filming simultaneously.

We really do not need a Heroic Origin story anymore...... the flaw of so many films lately.

Whether this film gets delayed or not relies on the performance of Tenet in the united states. Right now that movie has done 'okay' overseas. Dune wasn't a cheap movie to make and needs to make back it's budget and then some. They might be really stubborn with this movie and insist on it being only in theaters. Hell even at the end of the teaser trailer it says in bold letters "only in theaters". Interestingly the teaser did not give a release date for the film.

I watched Tenet partially just to get a glimpse of the teaser. Turns out it WASN'T included in the screening in my region at least (Athens, Greece). I then had to sit through a 2 hours movie where I had absolutely no idea what was going on 90% of the time.

Yeah it was set for select screenings of Tenet only, take from that what you will. I'm not a big Nolan fan so leaving the house to see Tenet isn't even a consideration for me.

I can't believe that major studios are still pinning hopes on cinema take in the current climate, and if that's their decision point then there is no way these big budget blockbusters are going to continue outside of Netflix/Amazon.

Who is going to be the first to do some kind of 'pay per view' of a more expensive film and have that distributed through cable or internet view?

I would pay a cinema-ticket price to see this film on early release. I won't be going to the cinema to see it as much as I want to see the film and think it will be awesome on the big screen with TFX, it's just not worth the risk at the moment (I don't think I'm the only person to think this way!)

Disney and Amazon have already done it

yet Cinema is not dead, at least here in Austria people are still going even with CoV restrictions
the main problem is just that there are not enough new movies to meet the demand as everything is hollywood focused, a lack of US "Blockbusters" is a problem

some cinemas now show TV-movies just to have something new to offer

My local Cinema (2-screen, rural area) was doing a "Pay to Host" scheme where local people would pay a few as a sponsor, but then show any movie they wanted.

There was Jaws, Empire Strikes Back, The Showman, etc. It was clever, but now that Unhinged and New Mutants is out, they have stopped this practice. Too bad.

I wanted to pay to host Starcrash. Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!

Legion of harkonnen troops assemble on...giedi prime? If that is truly the baron then he's massive. Only way I could imagine that is if he's floating with suspensors, and his cloak is so long that it hits the floor creating this towering silhouette.

I hope they kept the "polluted gak hole" look of Geidi Prime. I actually liked that about the Lynch version.

Also, I hope they went with the book version of the Baron's suspensors where he is just using them to walk normally, not to literally float. It was rather silly in both the Lynch and the TV version and came across as rather insulting towards the Padishah Emperor, what with him being forced to look upwards at the Baron at times.

My secret fortress at the base of the volcano!

2 things:

First, what the heck is with that Harkonnen symbol? What is that supposed to be? The Harkonnen heraldic emblem was a gryphon, according to the 5th Dune book (Duncan sees it a few times in the hidden bunker he and what's her name hide out in and comments on it).

Second: Why aren't the Sardaukar wearing blue? If they are supposed to be in Harkonnen uniforms, they should be in blue. That was established in the original novel, for crying out loud. I mean, I guess I'm glad the Harkonnen uniforms aren't in red like the video game and TV miniseries versions, but I'm worried that everything military seems to be brown and grey in this. I guess they are going for "realism" but that wasn't a factor in the novels. The novels were Machiavellian space feudalism infighting and the color pallette the author described to us reflected this.

Although, the Sardaukar uniforms in the novel were grey, so they might not be in Harkonnen uniforms in that still image... but then we are left with the question as to why Duncan seems to be wearing one.

/throwshandsupinfrustration

Whatever. As long as they do a better job with the plot than the first miniseries did, I guess I'll be happy-ish. I just wish the movie wasn't so visually dull-looking.

Because everything is bombing. No one can make up the costs involved when movie viewership is down about 96%.

Gonna be honest, 'button trivia' isn't the direction I'd go with movie criticism. Its not particularly tolerable with civil war re-enactors, for a novel its pretty completely irrelevant.
The color scheme isn't exactly laden with meaning. If that's the most egregious change, its a pretty good job.

Spoiler:


Paul looks like he is going to need sunscreen factor 500 if he wants to survive in the desert.

If there's one thing I don't like about the stillsuits it's that some parts of them (the gloves, the shoes) look too mass-produced for a nomadic culture.

Hey, if David Lynch managed to cast Sean Young as Chani...

I'm really, really loving the cast choices - makes me wonder what on earth the previous two productions were thinking! The only oddball decision that Villeneuve has made has been for Liet Kynes and I'm totally cool with that.

Remember that the Fremen did possess manufacturing capabilities in their sietches. There was some bits in one of the novels about "offworlder" stillsuits versus Fremen-built ones. I wouldn't be shocked if the Fremen ones had some parts they traded for or had smuggled in from offworld as their manufacturing couldn't do it in mass quantities.

Sure, but Timothee Chalamet is so pale he kinda looks as if he is ill at times. It's almost as bad as Daniel Radcliffe.

It does give him an otherworldly touch though so I guess that's a plus for the role. I think face-wise he would make a great Eldar character in a potential 40k movie.

Given how absolutely vital the stillsuit is to survival, I would expect it to be the one thing the Fremen would mass produce to an exacting standard. And it's one of the things they would want to make themselves so as not to give away their numbers.

He looks kinda like a young Loki.

Edit: Apparently he's like 5'11" 150~ so he's very skinny. That definitely adds to the sickly look since his cheeks are so sunken. He's no Tom Holland.
