This trailer is GARBAGE. The film looks like it was made in 2005 and has zero ambition to do what Lynch did (kinda of) or Jodorowsky attempted with their version - portray a world 8000 years away from today.
- I was expecting this comment from you. Mr AV Club comments come to life.tank02
- I smella bomb.utopian
- ofcourse its gonna bomb, in any form its way to smart for the grunts. Infotainment has turned our brains to muschtank02
- You sound like fun. I bet you get angry because they changed Kynes to a woman.face_melter
- Jodorowsky's vision was shite in comparison to Herbert's work; this rendition appears way more representative of the original work... as far as a trailer can.zarkonite
- The "voice guns" in Lynch's movie were an ambarassing substitute for all the fighting, it went against the principles the Butlerian jihad and is poor writing.zarkonite
- There is SOOOO much failure in Lynch's movie, no wonder he doesn't want his name on it.zarkonite

I've never watched Dune and I've been far more interested in watching that documentary about the original than ever watching the movie.
But when I watched the trailer for the first one, and for this one, they both just look dumb. Like it's a convoluted, uninteresting story to latch on to as an adult.
A couple weeks ago a neighbor admitted he'd never seen Star Wars. He mentioned that as an adult it just looks unengaging and cheesy to him. I think that's how I feel about Dune.
- sorta feel the same but Denis Villeneuve is one of my favorite directors so I am compelled to give this one a go.Ramanisky2
- It was an influential book, that's why people liked it.
The feudal system as a scifi story. Same way people like Thrones.PhanLo - Good to know. I think somewhere along the way I also confused Dune with Time Bandits. LOLmg33
- I never took it seriously as a young kid either, but some of my more cultured pals were really into it.PhanLo
- I loved Dune as a kid, I was really really looking forward to this movie, until I watched the trailer. It has I was made for Hulu written all over it.utopian
- Agree on the trailer but can’t see denis fucking it up.ben_
- Ironic, as Star Wars is a ripoff of Dune.i_monk
- I was in an “advanced” class in the 5th grade and we read Dune. Hadn’t a clue about a lot of it and felt stupid when the teacher explained what had happened.Green_Pork
- I can see why they never made the Children of Dune into a movie, it's a bit of a dull end to the characters.
Will that be in this movie series?PhanLo - Children of Dune was made into a miniseries in the 90s.i_monk
- Dune, the book, is a true epic and great sci-fi book, following in footsteps of Asimov's Foundation series. It's scale and scope are huge, and at times, boring.monospaced
- The big picture is awe inspiring, and that's why it's hard to capture them in film. Certain things just don't transfer correctly.monospaced
- Ha! A true aesthete... The new one looks very straight, as does mg33.tbgoodwillie
- Watched the mini-series, first 3 edpisodes were good, but the Macavoy ones were quite boring. Maybe the bigger budget and fleshing of the story will helpPhanLo
- @Mg33 Just watched the documentary today. It's well worth checking. So cool to think of O'Bannon, Moebius, Giger and Foss hanging out together.PhanLo
- Without the failed Dune, there wouldn't be Alien, at least in the form we see it now. No way as good without Giger.PhanLo
- Star Wars is super juvenile, but the special effects in the originals are enough to keep you interestednb

I wish people would stop wanking to the ghost of Jodorowsky's Dune.
He never read the book.
He didn't know how it ended, and changed the ending.
And he was an admitted rapist.
- PhanLo2
- I love Moebius' work, but the style and costumes are way off from the world established in the book. Probably done under Jodorowski's misguided direction...zarkonite
- They're pretty outlandish for sure. Do you think the new movie is closer to the book visually?PhanLo
- Hard to say, the casting is bang on in my mind. The headboard on Paul's bed in the trailer is exactly as described in the book... but he didn't go as far aszarkonite
- making the sky on Dune black (due to lack of moisture, there is no blue). But I trust his vision, he's done really well so far.zarkonite
- Hope it works out.PhanLo

Am I the only one who feels like this is a bit underwhelming?
It's good, and I'll watch it, but it doesn't raise the hairs in my neck. Maybe that's not what they were shooting for, trying not to get sucked into the trap of high expectations?
- It looks like it might stand the test of time, which imho is a better target than your neck hairsnb
- ^^^^^grafician
- That's fair.cannonball1978
- Based on the trailer, I'm very disappointed and completely underwhelmed by the Games of Thrones look and feel of the movie. Looks more like a slasher flick.utopian
- Game of Thrones look?!!! GoT is trash TV and looks like it. This looks like artistry.nb
- utopian how about you just don't watch this? fair?grafician
- This particular trailer is mediocrity at its finest.utopian
- read the f books until December utopian and stfugrafician
- You really can’t tell the difference between this art direction and game of thrones?scarabin
- I’d also like a list of slasher flicks that look like this. I’d like to watch thosescarabin
- @utopian +1pablo28
- @nb, Artistry ? haha, someone who didn't watch Lynch versioni_was
- u r right, don´t expect to much extraordinary from villeneuve. he is solid no doubt, but dynamics never excel in his flicks.neverscared
- Didn’t David Lynch disown his version of the movie because he hated it so much? Lolnb
- Yes like any good man wouldi_was
- Game of thrones looks like a fucking soap opera. It’s ok by TV standards, but visually it’s not interesting or impressive compared to top tier filmsnb

"Villeneuve, a devotee of Herbert’s book from when he was a young teenager, knew immediately that in order for a feature film adaptation to be successful, “Dune” could not just be one movie.
“The story is so rich and complex that, in order to be faithful to the book, we’ll need to make at least two movies,” he said. “That was a deal right at the start.”"

- When you're so jaded and miserable you think a trite am-dram show about dragons is the same as a sprawling space opera set 10,000yrs in the future.face_melter
