Wowzas!
Bootlegged video and awkward angle of the teaser, announcing the trailer coming September 9th.
Will probably be taken down soon.
Be sure to have a look though, you get a decent impression of the music, atmosphere and setup. I think itās going to be immense.
E P I C
The box scene gave me tingles - Kwisatz Haderach!
Iāll wait for the full trailer, so I can watch it in 4k
Full trailer tomorrow!!
Shit I totally forgot haha
Epic
Hollywood is getting ridiculous now.
Weāve had like 3 hype trailers just for the fucking trailer.
Exactly my sentiments haha
Was that a trailer for the trailer?
Sigh
Maybe they need to hype it more because of covid
@Cristo Finished the book yesterday. Got me hyped for the film - looking at the cast Iām optimistic theyāve picked the right people. Brolin as Gurney Halleck is a great choice, and Oscar Isaac looks a really good fit for Leto. But my favourite is Javier Bardem as Stilgar. What a boss casting choice that is. Thoughts on the book:
It must be that Iām used to reading long ass epic fantasy series - the ending seemed a bit rushed to me (although still a satisfying conclusion). It was kind of disappointing that there wasnāt a final boss fight against Fenring. I suppose I was expecting there to be a prologue / short chapter where your boy Paul is actually Emperor. Overall though was a really great story and I totally respect that this was written in 1965. Paulās ability to see the future was one of my favourite elements of the book. Feel like a lot of novels have used that concept in the years since this book came out.
I think you need to read the sequel haha
That covers some of the stuff you mention in the spoilers.
But yeah as regular reader of fantasy series, I really didnāt think it was a hard book to get through and I really donāt see why so many people think it would be so hard to filmatise it.
I honestly think you could do it just in one epic movie with a run time of like 3hours and 20 minutes.
I donāt feel like 2 movies is necessary but itās a couple years since I read the book so maybe Iām forgetting some of the longer sections that you wouldnāt be able to cover in one movie.
Fuck I had no idea there were sequels, what a spaz. In that case I got some more good shit to read!
The whole universe-conquering jihad shit - love to see how all that pans out
Thereās about 5-6 books in total but only the first 3 were written by Frank Herbert and the other 3 were written by his son and widely considered to be subpar.
Iāve only read the first 2 which I thought were fantastic.
5pm UK time for the trailer
Means weāll get at least one more teaser for it
There are 8 books. The first 6 were written by Frank Herbert. It was only the last two which were released posthumously by his son, based on Franks notes.
