some slight 24 > 25 fps artifacts aside, this 4k version looks legit, if it's an upscale it's a really good one:

I wonder if the surrounded fremen with the birds is part of Hawat's capture scene/flashback - Stephen McKinley Henderson is listed at the end. Hopefully the arena scene will have the multiple layers of plots like the novel version.
I really wish Secrets of Dune wouldn't do this, because there's simply no way to accomplish upscaling on video or images without interpolation - and interpolation never works, because it's basically just the computer guessing based on the pixels around it.
It always produces artifacts, and they're always easy to spot.

It sounds a lot like the harmonica theme from Once Upon a Time in the Old West.
Do you mean L'uomo dell'armonica? I can kind of hear the similarity, but The Ecstasy of Gold is closer in the vocal phrasing.

What's even closer to it, weirdly, is the music that Kenji Kawai composed for Ghost In The Shell, particularly a track called "Making Of Cyborg" - which can be heard as track 67
That track is heavily inspired by taito drumming and Hungarian chanting, so I'm wondering if Hans Simmer had something similar in mind.

Am I the only one who thinks that bit in the soundtrack sounds a tiny bit like "hava nagila" (the words, not the melody obviously)?

I think they got Lisa Gerrard for the soundtrack again (the woman from Dead Can Dance) and this is kind of her style of thing. It sounds like her.

That video has completely ruined the soundtrack for me. When I was watching the new trailer the first thing that popped into my head when I heard it was "Muad-Dib! The Prophesy!"

I dislike upscales in general for this reason, but in this case it does look like a higher quality image source. There' substantially more detail and the artifacts I can spot are temporal ones, from a 24 to 25 fps conversion (because Europe, I think), mostly on the text animations.

I don't care how much Zendaya compared to whether they'll make 90% of her appearance in the form of Dove commercials like part 1 (which shouldn't be the case now that the Fremen have found them).

Too little Jessica, too little Thufir (though by the book, he gets what, two scenes and a flashback?)

Once Thufir is captured I think it's mostly just the Baron talking about how he's using him and he only really shows up again at the very very end. We know that he's attempting to conspire against the Harkonnens and I believe rigging that one arena match and the assassination attempt on the Baron was his idea, but I don't recall him actually being present or having dialogue. Guess I should reread the book.

There’s a long conversation somewhere with Thufir and the Baron where Thufir basically walks him through the whole Fremen situation and makes the Baron realize how hosed he is and how he’s unintentionally given the emperor a bunch of signals that he’s plotting to turn Arrakis into the next Salusa Secundus and take over the galaxy. It’s all kind of for the reader’s benefit but it’s a funny scene just because of how flustered the Baron gets

Thufir can come back to give a little exposition as a treat but yeah he's barely in the material left to adapt. I feel like even his role in the ending is like half a page tops. My question is what gurney is supposed to do when you've cut the subplot where he thinks jessica is a traitor. Just be there as a military guy I guess

We don't know that they have cut him suspecting Jessica... not having forseen that is the catalyst for Paul taking the Water of Life, so maybe it stays in.

If not, he still gets to say "you young pup!" and will likely duel Rabban.

Yeah there's no way they're not giving Bautista a fight scene and Rabban just gets killed randomly in the book so why not?

I actually just reread the arena fight chapter during lunch - it is very good. What I really want to see now is a Harkonnen fete. That's gotta be wild and extremely hosed up. Fenring even says he'd like to see it although he's almost certainly bullshitting.

~6.4kb/s for VP9 isn't exactly astonishing levels of bitrate either, but it's a lot better than an upscale.
