My completely baseless guess: it will be plenty artsy/weird, but this is an extremely expensive movie, and they need to try to sell it to a wider audience.

CitizenVectron Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 It's going to be a classic Villeneuve movie, but that's the most Hollywood trailer I've ever seen (including giving away stuff later in the movie). I understand why they do it...but it wasn't a great trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand why they do it...but it wasn't a great trailer. My assumption is that they have to at least attempt to market this from an Epic Sci-Fi Adventure perspective. I really don't like Jason Momoa's nor Josh Brolin's presence in the trailer especially. Maybe the way it's edited but they both gave me serious PG-13 Bro Edge vibes. Also thought the music was ultra Hollywood and lame. It's Villeneuve, I love the guy, so I'll watch it no matter what and I can't imagine him dishing up cheesiness at this point. I'll fully blame the trailer for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury33 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I dunno that looked pretty awesome to me. Combined with the first trailer I’d say the vibe feels right. And most importantly, piecing things together so far, the story feels like it’s going to be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 My understanding is that the film will take certain liberties for purposes of the story (example, a longer time spent on Caladan prior to the departure, more action on Arrakis for this part of the story compared to the novel).

The trailer clearly tries to make Dune palatable for casual audiences, which is the smart move since the film itself (given the teaser trailer) will be weirder, which you can definitely see in flashes even in this trailer. It looks really good - the dialogue had pretty cool/strong one-liners I liked, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Without actually reading any of the reviews and only looking at headlines. Still super psyched. Sounds like he doesn’t contain the story as well as he should but once both movies can be viewed together itll be a full on epic. For people like my wife who haven’t read the book gonna be a frustrating experience though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneticBlueprint Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 When reviewer consensus is positive it's a 99/100 chance I'm going to agree. When consensus is that something isn't good or is mediocre or is outright bad, I could still end up liking it. Hoping that's the case here. But it's more like a 50/50 chance.
