Dune: Part Three is set nearly two decades after Paul Atreides seized control of the Imperium. Now a ruthless Emperor, Paul must face the consequences of his reign as old allies return, terrifying new threats emerge, and betrayal lurks in every shadow. Haunted by visions of Imperial collapse and the reappearance of his long-lost love, Paul is drawn into a sweeping conspiracy, with Chani at the heart of its unfolding mystery. As rebellion brews and enemies close in, Paul must confront the true cost of power and the fate of those he loves the most.

The film stars Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Jason Momoa, Oscar nominee Florence Pugh, Rebecca Ferguson, Isaach de Bankolé, with Oscar nominee Charlotte Rampling, with Anya Taylor-Joy, and Robert Pattinson, and Oscar winner Javier Bardem.

Villeneuve directs from a screenplay by Villeneuve and Brian K. Vaughan, based on the novels written by Frank Herbert. The film is produced by Oscar nominees Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Villeneuve and Tanya Lapointe, and Joe Caracciolo, and executive produced by Joshua Grode, Thomas Tull, Herbert W. Gains, Brian Herbert, Byron Merritt, Kim Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson, Richard P. Rubinstein, John Harrison and Jessica Derhammer.

Joining Villeneuve behind the camera are Oscar-winning director of photography Linus Sandgren, Oscar-winning production designer Patrice Vermette, Oscar-winning editor Joe Walker, Oscar nominated costume designer Jacqueline West, Oscar-nominated casting director Francine Maisler, and Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer.

Why have Alia in it at all at this point? They keep sidelining her on purpose. Meh I soften up up part 1 and 2, but that bums me out.

Looks great, I'm pumped! The first two were some of the best sci fi movies in the last decade or so.
 
Oh yay, they're doing exactly what I was worried they were going to do with Chani in this movie because a modern adaptation of Dune just has to have her be strong independent woman :pie_eyeroll:

Oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, not more grumpy face Zendaya!

Put her next to Pugh and is noooooo contest.

Though this mystery is gonna be Irulan and the Bene Gesserit making Chani sterile, then presumably the Ghola plot with Duncan Idaho, right? That's where we are with this story?
 
Jesus fucking wept that looked incredible, if he pulls this off and why shouldn't he, the first two are absolute epic sci-fi masterpieces, they need to throw all the Oscars at this like they did Lord of the Rings.. dayam
 
Eh, I thought the first two were OK, then again I'm not the biggest Denis Villeneuve fan(well Prisoners was good, and Enemy was solid).

They look and sound great though and I'm sure this will aswell. I'll check it out when it comes to streaming.

If you had to make Dune into a trilogy of 3ish hour movies each, what would have been your preferred method?

First of all, I would have tried to keep the adaptation as faithful to the books as possible. Some of the divergences in the films make the story less coherent.

My biggest changes would involve the Annexes, which give the story so much texture and are absent from this trilogy. I would also lean heavily on Princess Irulan's books excerpts to help the viewer understand Paul.

Dune was originally written in three parts (three books), and it's clear to me that the first movie should have ended with the end of Book I, Paul's catharsis, his acceptance of the role he has been set up. I would start Movie 2 with Pardot Kynes' ecology annex, which is the foundation for everything happening on Arrakis from that point on. It sets up the Fremen's long term plan which eventualy converge with Paul's own plans.

Messiah is the aftermath, it's not an epic conclusion, it's almost an epilogue about the horrific consequences of Paul's actions and his love for Chani which is now disfigured into a girl-boss marital drama conflict that doesn't exist, it even undermines their relation, she's the only one who effectively still sees him as human.

I would also put a ton of golden path and Leto II hints on these movies. This trilogy ends with the most important person that ever lived being born, i would have tried to highlight that as much as possible.

This sounds like you're adding even more content, but where would you make the heavy cuts?

They adapted 350 pages into Film 1 and only 200 pages in Film 2 (which is longer), pace makes all the difference. I believe three hours each is more than enough (FIlm 1 is only 150 minutes). Between ending Film 1 plot sooner and cutting almost everything from Chani (as it is) of Film 2, there's time left to fit the rest.

Film 2 is so awkwardly paced, they pushed the entire anchor of the second part of the story (his acceptance into the tribe) partially to Film 1, him defeating Jamis, heading to the sietch and taking Jamis belongings (and wife!).

Holy shit. Did not even recognise him during the trailer :messenger_neutral:

I kept thinking, who is this then?

Looking forward to it.

Him and Zendaya starred in three movies together recently back to back to back, and then on top of that she was on the new Spiderman movie and he's currently on the new Batman.

The work ethic reminds me of 80/90s Arnold.
