I was about to hit dislike just because of Eric's comment about Tremors. But I just like these guys too much!

@@StellarLeader Pretty sure Eric was joking.

Also long before the Sarlak (sp?) pit. Many people will think that shot from the flying craft is an homage to Return if the Jedi. TRUE STORY: When the Lord if the Rings movies came out I heard someone say they were decent movies but some plot elements were obviously ripped off from Star Wars.

@@omarholder9036 Probably, he admitted to not know much about Dune anyways. In any case, I was not actually mad or anything like that

@@StellarLeader same as per that and a few other seemingly dumb comments so I tried to educate in a few comments and give them the benefit of the doubt. I think they will love it.

Well, Game of thrones is based on medieval events, but I agree with Star wars and other things 🙂

@@crisc1049 Well. Dune is based on a Feudal System of Houses. And it was written in 1965. So....................

@@crisc1049 Ras is probably referring to the portrayal of political intrigue.

More like Akira Kurosawa for Star Wars

@@amrosoronar1853 many things inspired GL to make Star Wars, Kurosawa's films were an inspiration, but so was Dune, Valerian, WW2 and other stuff.

I hope so. I've also seen good directors screw up. I just hope they don't over simplify the lore but at the same time, help people who don't know about it understand what's going on.

I just fear that the movie won't make enough to warrant the sequels...

I really hope so. Dune has many many layers. Religious, philosophical, social, etc., and sometimes that sort of thing can be very difficult to deal with in a video medium.

Eggsn Bakon I read somewhere that they'll be splitting the first book into two 2.5 hr movies, so no need to worry about oversimplification

@Olivier Simon Yet, one cannot deny.It's hard to make a movie of any kind without the finances needed. I doubt he would fund his own production.

Also see where George R R Martin got a lot of ideas for Game of Thrones. At least the structure of some of the families.

Look up valerian the comic books.... which released before Star wars OG trilogy.... Lucas may deny it but then americans often plagiarise and deny. *looks at Lion King* XD

If you read the book then you will also see where Game of Thrones got many of it's storylines from as well.

Warhammer 40k as well

Richard Steiner I’m 100 pages in and i can totally see how George rr Martin got a lot of his world building and story telling style from

lmao

I love sand. F you Ani xD

SO true...Lucas has mentioned that many times

That is a complete lie. It was not inspired by Dune and George Lucas has never once mentioned Dune as an inspiration - and he has mentioned almost a dozen other properties including Lawrence of Arabia (which Herbert said inspired Dune) as inspiration for Star Wars. Stop bullshitting.

@@Tyrantofthewind you must be trolling..."Star Wars shares many similarities with Frank Herbert's Dune,[16] including the desert planet setting with a moisture-based economy, spice smugglers, obese interstellar antagonists, and a mystical mind control-using sect with great influence over galactic politics - Herbert himself once enumerated 37 similarities.[17] The influence was even more distinct in early Star Wars versions, with Princess Leia guarding a shipment of "aura spice" instead of the Death Star plans. The script for Jodorowsky's Dune was circulating in Hollywood at the time of Lucas' early work on Star Wars" trhats from wikipedia for quickness and personally ....now in print I have read lucas mention Dune in Starlog when I was a kid and as an adult a tv interview he mention Ferank Herbert etc give me a break

@@mikalmos369 1) Moisture farming on a fucking desert planet? My god. Almost like being a DESERT PLANET would necessitate such a thing. And Dune's economy is not based on moisture farming it is based on Melange. They use moisture farming to survive. Tatooine is controlled by a crime syndicate. Their economy is based on illicit activity and mercenary work. 2) Herbert was insanely jealous of George Lucas success, and thought Lucas "stole" from him. He died shortly after the release of Return of the Jedi and the less than successful adaption of his own work. Lucas has never credited him with influencing anything. Both say they drew inspiration from Lawrence of Arabia - which is a movie set in a desert. A movie that stars Sir Alec Guinness...who was also in Star Wars. 3) Spice is a general term for drug you clown. Also, the desert planet in Star Wars is a backwater world of zero important whose most important figures are crime families. The most important figures on Dune are Houses fighting a war against each other. It is literally the most important planet in the universe while in Star Wars, Tatooine is left ASAP and is insignificant to the larger plot. Anything else for me to easily swat aside with reality?

@@Tyrantofthewind the freeman collect moisture to transform the planet and more important to them than spice... and the most important people fighting on the planet were the Freeman...not the houses....the inspirations while many are not exact (like the quote from wiki, not myself if you had actually read my post completely...it was a lazy quick cut and paste which I noted in my post) is obvious and in no way theft. I don't think of it that way despite the possibility that Herbert might have.... your oddly emotional reaction to some generic/clumsy but true quotes from wikipedia with sources noted wrapped in your attitude of holier than thou shows your obvious Lucas bias with no grounds or need to denigrate the other poster or myself. I had read all the dune books that were published at the time in 79. I was 9 with an extremely high reading ability for my age and had seen Star Wars 2 years previous(and had relatives working in hollywood at the time with insider information in the Lucas camp). I had a subscription to StarLog, Omni at that age and built a computer by age 10....do you really want to pull your crysknife on me...btw i also have a light saber of Star Wars knowledge that I am guessing supercedes yours because I didn't feel the need to wave it around rudely to express my knowledge(perhaps to make up for some inadequacy you feel) anyway say what you will or think what you think, but reality is never an opinion and anger/attitude is never a successful way to "win" a discussion that isn't a fight.

Inticoastal Yesssss. Especially around 2:19 XD

That was the best part. The other guys were talking through it, and he's just watching like, oh yes!

Yes! His face was pure joy.

At least one person knew what he was talking about. The rest just embarrassed themselves.

And a TV show is in the works.

@ricardo demetrio alonso rojas Oh absolutely. The entire Dune series spans tens of thousands of years with an incredibly detailed and changing universe and wondrous backstory. The first movie is going too be about 2/3 of the first book, from the look of the cast, with the next movie being the rest. The show is called "The Sisterhood" which will be stories based on the Dune universe, though not the main storyline.

actually it's a trilogy...that is why they're calling it the "new star wars" for people who aren't as well versed in Dune

@@IDyce88 Much more than a trilogy. There are several more books.

@ricardo demetrio alonso rojas The story is huge and thematically very complex. I'd recommend reading the book as I'm sure the film will have to miss out lots of the details. It looks as though the movie is aiming for something reasonably faithful - or at least, hitting the key points.

Me too...she have a Thing, she owns the screen!

@@ana.ph4198 I agree. Sadly, no reactors seem to know who she is or just decide not to comment on her at all.

@@brothersgt.grauwolff6716 I appreciate your enthusiasm, but, brother. you managed a typo/spelling mistake in lots of words there :-)

Yes, you're right, Jodorovsky wanted it in his Dune 🙂

Oh didn't make the connection

The choice probably wasn't even meant to be a reference as trailers are meant to be ads that market the film to a wider audience without losing those who have already bought in.

@@nyquilnu2221 No actually Hans Zimmer did this mix for the movie and it was definitely a nod of respect to Jodorowsky’s version of Dune that never got made and was supposed to be scored by Pink Floyd.

@@starryeyes4301 How do you know that for sure? Pink Floyd are one of the most popular bands of all time and often associated with space due to DSOTM. Fans of Dune would most likely be fans of Pink Floyd. I don't see how it needs to be related to Jodo at all. He wanted to "rape" Frank Herbert. This adaptation--by all acconts--follows the first book closely.

Yeah then likely the third movie will cover dune messiah

@@chrismalinowski654 If it's wildly successful. I suspect the second movie would cover the rest of Dune and some of Messiah. Then have the Children of Dune trilogy that covers more Messiah, Children of Dune and God Emperor of Dune.

MAYBE

@Chris Malinowski @Dularr So far, it's only the duology and an HBO Max prequel spin-off series focusing on the Sisterhood. If these two films do get massive box office and critical appeal, then perhaps we may get more adaptations of the Dune novels. But, it's mostly focused on the first "Dune" novel, with the first movie detailing the first half.

Part 2 was filmed concurrently. It’s done.

Just watched Jodorowsky’s Dune on Amazon Prime Holy fuck. That would have been so damn good

@@elphiegleason3899 I personally am glad it never got made, cause it's so different it might as well not be Ɔ U ∩ C. But at the same time I would like to see it.

Fun fact, Star Wars production design was inspired by Dune. So, if someone says Dune 2020 stole from Star Wars, it's not true. Lucas borrowed from Herbert.

@@hunnerdayEDT Stole in art is not a bad word

@@walangchahangyelingden8252 very true.

Denis hasn't let me down so far, I have faith that he's gonna pull this off and cement his place as a modern master of his craft

George lucas has never said he was even remotely inspired by Dune and they are both (openly) said to have been inspired by Lawrence of Arabia. "Desert Planet" and "generic sci-epic" tropes are not influence, and certainly like "directly from". Stop spreading bullshit.

Tyrantofthewind its common knowledge by now that Lucas stole from Dune, Kurosawa, and a lot of others to create his work.

@@War_Maker No, it isn't. Lucas credits a ton of properties for "inspiring" Star Wars. Dune is not among them. There are 20 minute videos available on KZfaq with Lucas praising Kurosawa... Do you know how many times he has said Dune inspired him? Zero. Do you know why? Because only a jealous Herbert (who saw Star Wars blow up while his property failed to generate even a fraction of the success) and idiots who do not understand the innumerable tropes utilized in Dune were around long before it, believe Dune inspired Star Wars. Get your head out of your ass and stop spreading bullshit.

Tyrantofthewind ok sw fanboy, whatever you say.

There was nothing wrong with him

@@BeyondGaming1101 He was sick.

Beyond Gaming I haven’t been up to date on Bljnd Wave the past few weeks, but I believe he’s been in the hospital for several days, according to his fiancé’s channel update yesterday

@@BeyondGaming1101 he got very sick

I was wonder when they do it. But they explanation was understandable. Calvin referencing Dune make me happy many times!

Spot on

I don’t know. Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny has always given the first (and IMSNShO best) Dune volume some pretty stiff competition in my eyes.

I'm listening to it right now. It's insanely good and sounds very fresh even though it was written 55 years ago!

this one has to do well first though, then wb will let denis do part 2

@@chance757 most of the exiting stuff will be in the second movie tbh. So Im pretty sure they'll allow it.

@Berk Çetinbaş not if it bombs

@@muthiscocuq8berq I mean, that depends on if people will go to theatres to watch the first one. Mainstream audiences might just show up for Zendeya and Momoa, and I don't think they'll get what they paid for there. And despite Denis doing a brilliant job with BR2049, the fact remains that that movie lost a shit ton of money and this is likely to have the same vibe - quiet, contemplative, and slow-paced.

Chance I think they already filmed it I think

Star Wars is pretty much a ripoff of this and Kurosawa.

Its actually more like 11 books with the prequel but the main ones of Hebert are the 5 first...it forged sci-fi and the concept of planetary ecology !

@@jean-philippedoyon9904 I bow to your superior knowledge. 😉

@@antoniomatos-pages8286 Ripoff is a stronger term, shall we say influence by? 😉

@@jean-philippedoyon9904 wasn't Chapter House one of Herbert's or was mostly written, but finished off by his son?

Asimov's Foundation series inspired Dune. The OG Galactic Empire in fiction.

It's a re-adaptation.

@@RichardX1 Yeah

Well, we assume it is, I don't think there's been confirmation, but I might have missed it

The first half of the first book? There are six books in the saga.

@@thinkhaven7902 first half of the first book

and read the book most importantly

They have my ticket.

Then the first better do well else everyone will be pissed

@@nyxknight7555 Well ... Only those that will think the first part did well.

The trailer was well recieved so that gives me hope

No, it’s already been filmed. They filmed it in it’s entirety and edited it into 2 parts.

I’m always amazed when people who are not familiar with Dune watch this trailer and say they have no clue what it’s about after. People are so busy watching the visuals and recognizing cast members that they’re not listening to the dialogue which tells you pretty much everything about what the story is about 😂

MavenCree and a spinoff tv show

the 2nd hasn’t been green lit yet. denis only gets the funding if this one does well.

I'd push it back a year if I were WB. The way things are currently this could flop seei.g how Tenet ain't doing so well financially and I'd like to see a complete story with the 2 parts.

@@chance757 Part II was green lit in June.

Hopefully a vaccine for you know what is finally made by that time and this pandemic can be just a distant bad memory like small pox and polio was.

What happened to him?

I got my copy of the book out and started re-reading it after watching the trailer.

@@chrismalinowski654 It is personal favorite. I highly recommend.

Add Incendies and Polytechnique to that list as well. The guy hasn’t made even a single mediocre movie.

@@starryeyes4301 i absolutely agree

the Dragonfly Ornithopter's remind me of the old 1989 Dune RTS PC game (Interplay not Westwood)

Most book accurate. And I love the costumes.

I agree though I think this upcoming version will blow that out of the water.

Yes I own it! So good!

The miniseries costumes were hot garbage...

The Guild Navigators looked so bad it was hilarious. Bits of it were good but the special effects budget must've been spent on something else.

Disappointing.

yes indeed the first four books are a must

I hope that these movies are successful enough for that
