I gasped, thanks for pointing this out.

Is this some invented scene where Shaddam officially passes off Arrakis to Leto?

Also who are those people who are fully robed/covered about 20 seconds in?

both screens are from a new scene


Caladan landing pad
Atreides army in formation backs up the family, everyone is there. Thufir takes the space of two men with his wide stance (lol)
Shots of guild high liner hanging over the planet. A giant, GIANT cigar with a smooth opening on two(?) ends akin to front of an old timey sports car's aerodynamically shaped, oval air intake.
It’s huge, a tiny ship emerges from it to land on Arrakis. It is a sphere, think the ship they land on the moon with in 2001, the egg shaped one. I would say a direct inspiration. (Or the ship the two high af aliens crash land in the Heavy Metal movie). It descends on the landing pad.

The scale of this thing!!!

It extends its landing gear which is itself the size of like 10 story building

A no joke carpet rolls out of the ship. Well a ramp extends, 100m wide, the ramp is carpeted.

A delegation, including the imperial envoy walks to the landing pad.
It includes:
Sardaukar (black, tacticool, no faced)
A Bene gesserit witch (not Charlotte Rampling or my eyes deceive me), to be frank she was veiled all the time and Jessica trembled when she spotted her, so by all counts she probably was the magical pussy possessing Gaius Helen Mohiam
GUILD STEERSMEN, suited up in sort of light colored space suits, the bulbous helmets showing lots of orange :gas: floating inside. Faces obscured, proportions human.
The imperial envoy, carrying a bit of 300’s Xerxes presence but without all the jewelry.

The formal process of transferring Arrakis to Atreides thus began.

The dude rolled out a medieval style parchment scroll (Uber sized), read the lease conditions out loud, got everyones John Hancocks and seals (duke of course had the seal on his famed ring).

The Duke had a short speech about atreides honor and not skipping on any, even the most treacherous and see through orders from their buddy, the emperor.
When he finished talking the troops behind him shouted 4 times “Atreides, we are dumb!”

I like the way the guild heighliner looks. Also it looks like we'll get at least a brief glimpse at Salusa Secundus. There's also a shot that looks so clearly to be Paul calling his first worm, but clearly that can't be it.

I watched the trailer, it was... what I expected? Recognisable beats from the novel (and Lynch's film, just with different aesthetics). Also quips, because dammit the trailer guys gotta have some laugh-lines in there, even if they're probably the only ones in the film!

Yeah, I recognize that this is a general demographic push technique post-mcu, and it will never not be cringe, but the Dune teaser was so artfully done that I can forgive it. However I do like that this main trailer managed to avoid splicing in any text between shots

Warner Bros. has been desperate for a tentpole ever since Harry Potter ended and they have been trying to force DC into the marvel mold with very mixed returns. They absolutely want this to work out and have sequels and the only reason they haven’t announced that is because of Green Lantern

Yeah but WB is only the distributor. Isn’t the same day steaming going to potentially turbo-gently caress Legendary out of the earnings they need to justify part 2?

Excited about everything oozing style, less excited about the trailer making it seem like Dune: The Action Movie. Hopefully it's just the trailer doing trailer things.

They gotta sell the thing and to make enough to "justify" the second part you're gonna need people to show up who want big action set pieces. It's possible those are chunks from all the action scenes the movie has. Considering Bladerunner I doubt they turned it into an action extravaganza.

I repeat, having seen like 15 minutes of the movie. The real pacing is veeery deliberate. Even in the action scenes there are no quick cuts for the sake of cuts.

Like... the scene where the emperial posse steps down from their egg ship. It takes ages in comparison to what you would normally see.

Considering all the prescience dreams he has in the first half of the novel, it's not out of the question; could be a snapshot flash-forward.

It's probably for the best that they relaxed some of Herbert's dialogue a bit rather than try to put it in mostly verbatim like Lynch. Some of the Geidi Prime shots look like something Jodorowsky would have imagined. That shot of those sacrifices (?) pinned upside down to slabs makes me wonder how icky this movie is gonna get. Also they gotta be moving some stuff around - Jamis and Duncan look like they're around longer than they're supposed to be.
Oh yeah, and I hope they tighten up the graphics on that Paul's head inside his combat suit - it's giving off Iron man 1 vibes.

So last time I'll be dangling this in front of you, but I edited down the spoilers just to what can be seen in trailer 1 and 2. The text below puts the clips in a wider context, you may still want to avoid it.

First 10 mins

Arrakis
After the title card we’re on Arrakis and Chani speaks in a voice over about how she loves the planet (shots of general oppression and rabban with his whip), is surprised that they left out of nowhere, fears what the new rulers will bring.
Chani is actually in a fremen guerilla crew jumping a harvester and generally getting wasted and barely escaping with their lives, Harkonnen harvesters are heavily guarded, they have what seemed like cluster munition ready to deploy against attackers.
The design of harkonnen stillsuits have a lot in common to let’s say, skinnier versions of big daddies from bioshock.
!!!Jamis plays a major role in this raid!!!

...

Caladan landing pad
Atreides army in formation backs up the family, everyone is there. Thufir takes the space of two men with his wide stance (lol)
Shots of guild high liner hanging over the planet. A giant, GIANT cigar with a smooth opening on two(?) ends akin to front of an old timey sports car's aerodynamically shaped, oval air intake. [actually not the shot of heighliner from the trailer but similar enough]
It’s huge, a tiny ship emerges from it to land on Arrakis. It is a sphere, think the ship they land on the moon with in 2001, the egg shaped one. I would say a direct inspiration. (Or the ship the two high af aliens crash land in the Heavy Metal movie). It descends on the landing pad.

GUILD STEERSMEN, suited up in sort of light colored space suits, the bulbous helmets showing lots of orange :gas: floating inside. Faces obscured, proportions human.
The imperial envoy, carrying a bit of 300’s Xerxes presence but without all the jewelry.


harverster


trailer has some beats from this part (new, not in the book):
when Paul gets the first whiff of spice rich sand he comes into sort of a trance on the ground, when he should be directing people to his fathers thopter he just falls to his knees and has bit of a mindfuck. Words whisper on the wind “kwisatz haderach is awakening!” (I know this only from the subtitles, it was largely unintelligible, likely not to be consciously understood by the English language audience who will watch it without subs).
The sound design changes for Paul’s vision. We can hear almost nothing until Gurney grabs him by the shoulders and drags him to the thopter. Gurney and Paul run away from the sandworm - this is the shot from the first trailer spliced together and color corrected to match an encounter with the worm later in the book
Then they leave, watching the worm swallow the harvester from the thopter’s ramp (promo pic from way back).

My unorthodox take on the book, which I feel is even more relevant for the film, is that Duncan and Gurney should’ve been condensed into a single character. I get that Thufir, Gurney, Duncan, and Yueh all kind of represent Leto’s privy chamber, but Duncan and Gurney just never seem to be differentiated much in my mind (sequels notwithstanding). Seeing the actors on screen definitely helps, but I just don’t think the narrative requires two characters for their roles.

Within Dune itself sure. but Duncan has to die in the Harkonnen/Sardukar invasion for like 70% of the plot of the other five books to happen
