Dune 2018 (19,20,21...)

[Hartzilla2007]

I haven't seen Lynch's version in years. But I understand the problems with that film can be at least partially attributed to studio interference (and that's probably been addressed already, somewhere in the last 77 pages).

The man actually filmed the book ending

So yeah probably studio interference.

Wow! Looks great!

It's not Pink Floyd's original version of the song, though. It's a new arrangement by Hans Zimmer.

Yeah, I know. I usually hate covers in trailers and films instead of using the original, but I actually quite enjoyed this version. And say that as a massive Pink Floyd fan.

Jason Momoa is going to steal the show

Not from Zendaya.

 

[fireproof78]

The main cast have somber roles. They are staid characters. But in the orgy I want the Fremen going wild. I want the sequel to have the absolute insanity of a death cult in the throes of religious ecstasy. I want drums made of human skin with Harkonnen tattoos visible being played while worshippers literally whip themselves into a frenzy screaming for their Lisan Al Gaib.

Ugh. That does not sound enjoyable, book or no.

I certainly hope so, though I was pleasantly surprised by Brolin eve in the trailer.

Overall, less enthused by this trailer.

Is it Zimmer? I assumed it was something the trailer company did.

Good point, that's possible. I just found a couple articles online which attribute it to Zimmer.

Stop hating on Pink Floyd!

Well it's not really Pink Floyd.

I just find it cringy when classic material is re-done with modern vibe.

I also really dislike the use of contemporary lyric music with the fantasy genre.

.

What says death cult bent on genocide in the name of their living God to you? I mean, they have regular crazy religious orgies high on drugs before he shows up

It's all in how its used.

In this instance, it wasn't used well.

I don't know-killing all Harkonnen while screaming their god's name?

Skin drums is a hard pass for me. Again, book or no book, it's distinctly uncomfortable, a point if near vomiting inducing illness for me. The orgies will also likely do the same.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Well it's not really Pink Floyd.

Sure it is. Same lyrics, same basic melody.

Good point, that's possible. I just found a couple articles online which attribute it to Zimmer.

Kor

I found the same results which is why I'm partially forgiving of the cover.

? It's not used at all? That's my complaint with the miniseries. They sit cross-legged and boringly drone Muad'dib over and over again.

No worries. I also understand your position better - but at the same time, that's how you are supposed to feel. You're not supposed to be "All right, go Fremen!". You're supposed to be grossed out and thinking "That's fucked up.". That's why the flaying alive and skin turned into drums is mentioned in the books.

Cool. I'm glad I feeling the right things...still don't want to see it in a movie.

But, so far, the whole film has a "fucked up" vibe so they might be hitting the right notes.

I'm just going to be boringly literal re: the music, but I thought the sun (son?)/desert eclipsed by the moon (with the shadow) was rather poignant and perhaps a nod back to series roots?

I loved the trailer. And while I thought they got the personal shield shimmer better than the Lynch version, I was confused about the gom jabbar. Isn't it a personal extension of Mohiam rather than a hand weapon? I don't mind the change. They got so much else en-pointe I'm happy for different riffs....

It doesn't look like it. It looks like she is about to use a needle and thread.

It's a thimble with a poisoned needle attached in the books. They just made it bigger here for dramatic effect.

That's the point . I think a thimble with a big-ass needle is pretty fucking dramatic and just curious. But hey, if they wanted to change it, works for me
