for a long-term project I'd really want to go all in on a fremen costume. and then show up to the premiere in it. that's my dream anyway

I can probably get supplies cheap this coming Black Friday if I plan super far ahead into the future like some sort of fat psychic worm. but I've also never before done cosplay to as deep a level as I'd like to go with this, and I know nothing about arts and crafts. r.i.p. me

A Villeneuve stillsuit shouldn't be too hard to make. Most of it in the film looks like textile motorcycle gear. The greebly bits around the torso and the belt/codpiece might be difficult but all of it looks soft, like even the shoulder pads look like they're just straight EVA foam. I didn't realize how much work cosplay was when I commissioned a friend to build me a Doomslayer getup, at least you probably won't have to do any vacuum forming of hard plastic like that.

I wonder if Part 2 is going to open with narration again, and if so, whose. I thought Chani's narration in Part 1 was a good sign that Villeneuve understands that the story is as much hers and Jessica's as it is Paul's; picking it up with more exposition from her (or Jessica) talking about Fremen culture would be interesting and a great setup for the "history will see us as wives" line (which will probably have to be modernized but I don't see Villeneuve missing out on such a big opportunity to give us a feminist take). Irulan narration setting up her father's empire would also be an interesting choice, a nod to the book and Lynch's film.

Starting with Irulan voice over might work well to get the viewer into the mindset of surprise when the universal hegemon is suddenly upended by slaves in the basement.

I dunno, it's fun to think about the possibilities. Villaneuve is both pragmatic and experimental which is why his particular vision of these age old properties is so exciting. I've long held that Ridley Scott might be the only director who could accurately translate The Forever War, but now I'm not so sure.

Someone remind me what the deal is with the Museum Fremen in the later books? They preserve Fremen customs or something, but it's such a bizarre name for a people - and IIRC the only context they're mentioned is kind of in a derisive way - that it sounds like someone intentionally raised them to live out the Old Ways, as a joke.

Yeah, that’s it pretty much. Leto maintains a population of them on reservations so people in his empire can see how “real Fremen” live. Now, they’re obviously kind of pathetic and clueless about “real Fremen” because they’re being kept like zoo animals. But given that Leto is planning to desertify Arrakis again, he also has a vested interest in making sure there’s a population of people who know at least the very basics of desert living—that’s the museum Fremen. The big Chapterhouse Report section also reveals that they’re all being paid off by the Bene Gesserit to report on conditions on Arrakis.

Yeah, the whole point with Duncan meeting them is that he sees a sick parody of the Fremen he used to know in what amounts to a theme park. And I'm pretty sure it's implied that they are all aware of this.

Speaking of Dune, I noticed last night that in Chapterhouse, Odrade muses that the Bene Gesserit will have to adopt the practice of deathstills found on Dune - and what stood out to me was the deliberate inclusion of turning the remains of the bodies into pot-ash which in turn is useful as a fertilizer.
It always bothered me that that was never mentioned in first book, since it's an ecological necessity - but I guess I'm just more surprised that it took until the last book for it to get mentioned.

Also, did Villeneuve in DUNC reference the Honored Matres leader being called Spider Queen by Bene Gesserit? Seems like the best explanation for that scene.

Villeneuve has previously juxtaposed spiders and women and motherhood, in Enemy. I kind of doubt he’s read Chapterhouse but you never know. It’s not like it’s the most original idea of all time.

I 100% believe he's read Chapterhouse but I also don't believe he put any kind of foreshadowing into the movie for something set that far in the future.
