I’m thinking maybe IMAX for this one? I skipped IMAX for OPPENHEIMER, but DUNE: PART 2 might be worth the extra effort. And I’m kinda grooving on Christopher Walken as the Emperor. That’s gonna be a completely different version than the ones we’ve seen before.
Tag: Dune. Arrakis. Desert planet.
The DUNE: PART TWO trailer.
So far, DUNE: PART TWO is Looking good. Some changes from the book, but the themes are still there. The themes are the important thing, here.

The final DUNE trailer.
Grooving on this, ain’t gonna lie.
It promises to be interesting. I’m getting a lot of spectacle-viewing in my movies so far this year; interesting should be good for a change of pace, I think. And I don’t mind changes from the book, if they’re interesting ones. …I’m over-using that word, sorry. Anyway, it looks fun.
The Blasphemous DUNE Honest Trailer.
BLASPHEMOUS!
Mind you, it’s been years since I’ve seen DUNE. I might be remembering it through the veil of nostalgia. I certainly remember being bugged by the last scene…
…No, let’s go with my first instinct.
BLASPHEMOUS!
The ‘Latest Bite at the Apple’ DUNE trailer.
I dunno.
It’s not the casting, or even the likely changes to the plot. It’s the perennial problem with DUNE: it’s a trilogy that apparently can’t be made as a trilogy. You either end up compressing it down into a single flick, or you make a miniseries that doesn’t let you do the sweeping cinematic panoramas on a huge movie screen.
But they’re gonna keep trying, apparently. It’s like I AM LEGEND: some projects are just catnip to ambitious directors. And, heck, I’m probably gonna go see it anyway, so: good luck!
