James McAvoy on advice for his Dune "dad" Timothy Chalamet: "I was in an adaptation of the second and third books. He is in the first book. And he's playing a character who ultimately becomes my father, in terms of the character dialogue. So, no. I've got no advice for him. And he doesn't need any advice from me, he's a cracking actor. But I'll tell you what's one really good piece of advice that was given to me once, was by the cast of ... what was the show called again? Farscape. And it was at the L.A. premiere of Children of Dune, and they said to me, that the thing with this sh*t, i.e. science fiction, is that you have to believe it more than you believe good writing. Good writing, you can just do. It's easier. But this stuff is hard, because it's so bonkers, you know what I mean? And I've really, I've always remembered that advice and taken it to heart. It's so kept me going really, through a lot of science fiction and fantasy work that I've done. Because it was Claudia Black that said it. And I think that's just good advice for any actor doing any kind of science fiction and/or fantasy, you know?"

If you watch the movie you see how it ends. I think you pretty much know the answer to that,” WarnerMedia Studios and Networks Chair and CEO Ann Sarnoff told Deadline yesterday in a sit-down chat regarding the conglom’s full support of Dune 2."

Paparazzi Spot Timothée Chalamet Lounging On Mediterranean Yacht With Mystery 1,200-Foot Sandworm Saw Dune this morning on IMAX and really enjoyed it. I would love to see a longer version with more of the cut material though.

Watched this in IMAX and later at home: I didn't feel either approach had any issues with brightness in my experience. I thought the desert landscapes were gorgeous, personally. However, I will say that in the IMAX, some of the abrupt shifts from darker scenes to light scenes would make my eyes hurt briefly. Overall, I really liked this, but I would have liked to have seen Thufir, Yueh, Piter, and Gurney have more screentime and I hope they do en up having meaningful roles in part 2 (other than Piter). I found it interesting that nearly every "joke" in the movie was represented in the trailers, and beyond that the movie was relatively humorless (which I don't mean as a detraction.) I think they could have benefited showing the trip from the landing field to the palace structure on ground, maybe, rather than air to give a closer, more personal view of city. They probably could have bundled some of the scenes of the Madhi worshippers in this part. I was impressed with the depiction of Salusa Secundus and the Sardukar. Jamis' death and Paul's vision of the jihaad in the tent were moving scenes to me. I'm anxious to see how the Emperor is portrayed in part 2 and would like to see more Guild stuff.

euphronius posted:What do the worms eat ?? It can only be sand trout The appendix refers to "sand plankton": "Now they had the circular relationship: little maker to pre-spice mass; little maker to shai-hulud; shai-hulud to scatter the spice upon which fed microscopic creatures called sand plankton; the sand plankton, food for shai-hulud, growing, burrowing, becoming little makers." "At the desert edge of the plantings, the sand plankton is being poisoned through interaction with the new forms of life. The reason: protein incompatibility. Poisonous water was forming there which the Arrakis life would not touch. A barren zone surrounded the plantings and even shai-hulud would not invade it." "The second discovery concerned the sand-worm. These mighty creatures began their lives as sand plankton, then matured into the sandtrout form before becoming worm, It was the sandtrout phase — in which the "water-stealers" swam freely through the sand and sealed off all available water in the porous lower strata."

I don't get the criticism about Jessica being too emotional. She only lets her guard down when she's either in private or with a close family member. You've got to consider the position she's in throughout the movie. Up front she almost loses her son and is all but disavowed by the organization she was raised in. She knows what's likely to happen with the move to Arrakis and that she's likely to lose everyone and everything she cares about (and does with the exception of Paul.) She then later breaks down after the fall when its obvious the love of her life is dead. The movie doesn't have the inner monologues the book. How else are you going to see the inner turmoil unless the actor emotes it? Maybe I'm just being defensive of the movie, but I feel like people would be complaining like she was an emotionless ice queen if she didn't feel what was going on around her at all. For me it was a welcome change from prior adaptations (although even those had emotional moments for Jessica, too;) but, I think what might be different here, is that Jessica has a larger focus than in some of those versions.

Phanatic posted:Alia couldn't have been possessed by Baron Harkonnen if he weren't a direct ancestor. Not too many other possibilities for where he fits into her line of ancestry. I think the debate was over the validity of Mohaim being Jessica's mother rather than Vlad being Jessica's (confirmed) father. At least that was my earlier confusion.

The Bloop posted:I mean that's fine but the director has already said that isn't even what is supposed to be happening there. The director has said how the heighliner is supposed to work (stargate portal versus some other form of FTL) in the film? Do you have a link? Just curious. When i saw it in the theater initially i was a bit shocked they didn't show the jump, but when I watched it again I got the impression it was showing more of a portal-type effect.

Mister Speaker posted:There are definitely lasguns in the opening scene of the movie, and it seems implied that at least some of them are hand-held. I think Jamis is using a shoulder mounted (akin to a bazooka) version at the start of the movie when they blow up the carryall/harvester.

Mulaney Power Move posted:Reading Dune for the first time and almost at the end but don't want to finish because it's really good and everyone seems to say it's all downhill from here. I thought there would be more in here about the navigators and a lot of other things, but I guess that's all the later books? If you've enjoyed Dune I would definitely recommend to keep reading the rest.
