For me, Jurgen Prochnow was a perfect Leto. But got behind Oscar. He pulled it off better than I expected. Rebecca was a very nervous Jessica for me, more clearly freaking out when Jessica's stress in my interpretation of the books, was always under the surface. But they are visibly gorgeous people no doubt.

[@BarstucksCoffee]

@@harvestmoon_autumnsky I thought that about Ferguson's Jessica too, but I can let that slide because of the runtime constraints Villeneuve had to work with. How I see it is that we still do witness moments that show Jessica's Bene Gesserit training, but because of the runtime issue, Villeneuve wanted to show Jessica's motherhood and her training working against each other and couldn't include all those moments of Jessica's steel resolve without making the movie much longer than it already is. That said, I would very much welcome what all the hardcore fans have been asking for to have WB/Legendary allow an extended/director's cut. The overarching context behind the moments that did make it into the cut is arguably secondary, but the core narrative remains and I would gladly sit through all the deleted scenes Villeneuve forced himself to cut out.

[@DCYTB]

The fact that this was the Sci-Fi novel that started the Sci-Fi boom is absolutely baffling to me. The level of thought that went into the lore is feels like it should be the most recent one. It takes place so far in the future that humans have already created advanced AI, went to war with it, somehow won the war and then collectively banned all kinds of AI/computer technology leading to a sort of reverse renaissance into the religious and mystical. It’s f’ing genius

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

You'll find that a surprising amount of older sci fi fiction, even from as early as the 1940's had chilling prescient visions and themes of the future that are affecting us today.

The themes of the novels are about how man creates governments and religions, the great leader and messiah myths in order to organize and control society and how these things inevitably take on a life of their own that instead give rise to the worst aspects of humanity overriding whatever good intentions they may have started out with. The ecological concurrent theme is also about control, the attempt to bend nature to ones needs and will and the unintended consequences that ultimately shows the futility of the idea of control. Humans most often show an inability to control themselves individually which dooms their attempts to control themselves as a species or the world around them.

Herr Schmidt Watch Corridor Crew! They make a lot of VFX videos but they also love shooting practical. It’s just about being smart about using VFX, using it (or not using it) to move the story forward rather than just to showcase tech or skill or resources. That said, it doesn’t necessarily mean that if a movie uses 90% practical shots and effects, it’ll be good. So much comes into making good films, and the primary factors are always the writing and direction. For the plethora of complex ideas and introspection that is Dune, the grandiosity of the physical sets, the artistry in cinematography, and authenticity of costume design may help the epicness of it, but good direction, acting, screenplay, and script are far bigger determinants for success than the visuals. A film can be visually beautiful and award-winning but fail to convey the message or express the story well enough to just leave the viewer in awe for a long time. I really really hope the movie will be amazing and not go Blade Runner 2049 (visually stunning but very dry and a long slog).

Honestly I would've loved if somehow David Gilmour or Roger Waters scored some parts in the film, but that will never happen sadly...

[@LoboKhan1]

I'm not feeling them using modern Western pop culture music for their soundtracks. It somehow makes the ambience superficial and too "Earthlike". I hope the whole movie isn't like that. The soundtrack in Lynch's Dune was one of the best things about the movie, which helped make it the cult classic it is. It gave the film an "epic" feel to it. I'd rather hear an original soundtrack. The setting is supposed to convey humans thousands of years into the future, with different worlds and culture. Nothing against Pink Floyd though. I've been listening to them for almost 40 years.
