Any insight in to the only explicitly named passage I can recall, "467 Kalima: From water does all life begin" In Yueh's OC bible? From context it seems like "Kalima" could have several meanings - it could be a book within the larger OC bible, or it could be that all OC bible passages are called Kalima, and this is the 467th one overall. In actual Islam, according to my brief research, the Kalima are six short passages, which don't appear explicitly in the Qur'an but are, taken together, a quick statement of the major pillars of Islamic faith.

If there's a passage that begins similarly to "From water does all life begin," I'd like to know how it continues. Yueh wants Paul to read starting from there, but he opens to Wanna's passage instead and we never get to hear the rest of what Yueh actually wanted him to read.

Ramc posted:

It was fall again, and with the changing of the leaves the ancient Frank Herbert dared.

Braving the teeming water-fat masses of the outside world he made his way and at altar of the fish-wife goddess he made his demands of the barista.

"The spice." he hissed, his voice a dusty rasp, almost a whisper. "It must flow."

The servant prepared his beverage- the spice coffee- and the cinnamon and nutmeg smell of melange teased his nostrils.

"So, uh, sir, do you want your senior discount?" the barista inquired

"The geriatric discount??"

"Uh, yeah, so that's ten cents off..."

"Ah-h-h-h" Frank smiled in triumph, producing- just as he had foreseen- an additional coupon and slid it across the counter.

Yeah. The casting is great and I like him in particular.

Plus I hope no matter how brutalistic the film gets aesthetic-wise that Feyd is still glam as hell. It just fits.

Then the second part (which we’ll never get because the first one will flop) would open with Feyd on the arena.

it's a catch 22

If the first half flops we may not get the second


If it's successful, HOLLYWOOD will decide we need a prequel trilogy but this crew will entirely refuse to direct it and @duneauthor will write the screenplay and LORD CYBER T-REX will be played by Nicolas Cage

It's got the Warner distribution arm behind it, same as 2049. In many ways 2049 was a test case for how to market expensive, heady, archaic sci-fi poo poo to the masses.

Also, agreed with the dinner scene, it blew my mind when I was younger. I always used to think that it was that particular scene, its sort of nexus of complexity, that was both essential but also unfilmable. We'll see what Villanueve does with it!

It kind of has to be. They're already laying the groundwork for Part 2 but won't start full time development and production until they see how successful the first part is.

Yes. Part 2 is in pre-production and part 1 is in post atm. They are being made sequentially rather than concurrently (as has been the trend with fantasy epics since LOTR)

"That’s the plan. There’s a backstory that was hinted at in some of the books [that we expanded]. Also, when you read the book there’s a logical place to stop the movie before the book is over.”

"“Dune’ will probably take two years to make,” Villeneuve said. “The goal is to make two films, maybe more.”
