Did we mention in here that they recently hired the linguist who made up Dothraki and Valyrian on Game of Thrones to work on Dune?

WHY I saw an ad years ago for the dude who invented the Na'vi language was on tour. He compounded the uselessness of his career by giving talks to people so that they can, presumably, go forth and make up languages* for the burgeoning YA genre "Harry Potter is the end of fiction". The best thing about Herbert's verbal flourishes was their obvious nod to their roots. It's winking at the reader, not standing over him like Khal Drogo, drawling out some barbarian death verse before a fight. Point is, let's use extant languages like they do in the books. *that sound like Elvish-Arabic (for high elves, dark elves, some dragons, and probably whatever they spoke wherever Riddick came from) or NuVictorian Nadsat (for your Joss Whedon fans) or the ever popular "Space Orc or Ork".

He's developed languages for shows and movies before that are deliberately noticeable descendants of existing ones.

Hey, is this the "let's wait and see and hope for the best" thread or the "nitpick what you want and poo poo on whatever" thread? I just hope they don't get into Klingon-esque kinds of stuff, you know? If the movie's a hit, you just know @duneauthor will try and take it that way.

I admit I'd appreciate a good rendering of Chakobsa but odds are they'll just make it sound like every other fantasy movie language. I'm hoping there's not too many inexplicable English accents, while we're talking language stuff.

Of course the credits of this up and coming feature film will say based on novels by Brian Herbert, Kevin J Anderson & Frank Herbert.

He says he's working on more than one language. The Fremen Chakobsa is probably the language he has to work on the least. There are other languages he has to just invent.

What the gently caress isn't Fremen Chakobsa a variation of Arabic? I hope it turns into something like belter patois from the Expanse. Which sounds awesome because the actors speaking it sell it hard.

The book was translated into how many languages? Come on, guy. Leave the movie alone with your Tolkien poo poo.

My girlfriend showed me the Dune subreddit and they were having serious discussions about Fremen sietch life and I have to say I prefer the tone here much more. Like where's the rear end play?

R/dune is ok, the artwork is really cool, they are in the middle of a debate about @duneauthor which will probably lead to a spin-off, but the Reddit style is not well suited to discussing the text in a controversial way, as all the jokes get upvoted and anything that was in the movies but not the books struggles to have positive karma. I feel quite strongly about how I think Frank saw the Duniverse, and I like to share it when appropriate, the single threaded nature of traditional forums is better for that.

karma is fundamentally a problem. ranking popularity stuff first over linear presentation means that you can never have meaningful conversations about much of anything. i like reddit for some stuff, but definitely not for discussion. i dont go to the dune subreddit but i can't imagine i'd feel any different about this if i did.
