Get. HYPE.

Can't see how this will be long enough. So much to show and tell!

It's supposed to be three parts

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I read the third part is planned to be the first beats of Messiah. Essentially the complete arc of the life of Paul Atreides.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Sounds like it would be wrapping up the Paul Atreides story, and laying the groundwork for the Emperor of Dune Saga in the last 15-30 minutes of the film. That should still be enough time to deal with Paul Atreides.

The only certainty I read is that Villeneuve doesn't want to do children of Dune or beyond. But producers want mini series out of those and a Bene Gesserit prequel series that's already on the works.

I'm with @dustyData, I understood part 3, if it happens, would be Messiah. Villeneuve talked about it recently.

I need to re-watch part 1 then I'll be ready...

[-] Decoy321@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Fuck yeah this looks epic!! I will absolutely be rewatching part 1 the day before just to catch up and get myself psyched.

I'm hoping for an IMAX double feature as I never saw the first in IMAX.

Awww yisssssssssss

[-] Muffi@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago

I really hope that Villeneuve will get the chance to turn all the books into movies. He gets the vibe of Dune, and the last two books would make for some epic films on the big screen. But to get those made, Villeneuve would first have to do the impossible and somehow turn God Emperor into a movie that wouldn't tank the franchise.

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

I’ll be happy even if he stops at Messiah, because at least he can end Paul’s arc and realize Frank Herbert’s message about the dangers of messianic figures. GEoD is definitely a difficult task to translate to the big screen. I think it would work if they take Children and God Emperor to the small screen as limited series shows.

[-] Muffi@programming.dev 1 points 10 months ago

Uuuhh, I like the idea of a limited series. Maybe a >!new Duncan!< as the main character each episode.

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

A power involving sound.

[-] Jayb151@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

In all honesty, I much prefer the original film with Sting. This looks fucking awesome though.

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

Nah. The william Hurt miniseries. But this one's gonna be gorgeous.

[-] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 1 points 10 months ago

Really love the music in this one. Bringing in the piano really hints with the deeper emotional themes pulling at Paul, who is diving into a world that's entirely new to him but might find himself gasping for the air of the world he's lost.
