Been waiting for years for this movie to be made and shown.

Don’t like the metrosexual actor playing Paul, though.

Enjoyed the first three Dune books by Herbert. Waded through the next three and then called it quits.

I’m in for the movie provided it isn’t too woke.

Hopefully, this one is closer to the book.

I have been busy making a fish hook big enough to put those worms on.

I’m going after the galaxy record Bluegill.

Looks cool but not thrilled about the victimization speech from their Chauni at start. Didn’t ever imagine the fremen talking line that.

I read the first three books. I understand the story. But this trailer seems a mish-mash. Looks like a war movie. Looks like the primitive Fremen on Arrakis are abused bystanders in the war. Looks like Paul’s father is a central character, his mother not so much. Also, the trailer switches between Arrakis and Caladan — very different environments with no explanation. And the spice, as far as one can tell, is a tasty thing to put on your chili.

In short: I suspect that the trailer is a poor representation of the actual story in the full movie.

It could be the greatest movie in movie history and I won’t be watching. My days of supporting big entertainment are over.

Likely it will be infested with revisionist leftist political ideology.

Coming from somewhat of a Dune fan. We say “Muad’ Dib” when to express wonder or incredulity. And make the sound of the Weirding Module sometimes, instead of “pew-pew” or the like.

Anything has to be better than the original POS “Dune” movie

WOW!

I generally speaking don’t like remakes/do overs, but this one looks AWESOME!

I LOVED the 1984 movie!

Would have preferred for them to do a Dune sequel, as Dune was done in 2001 as a mini series. Still looking forward to it a bit anxiously that it doesn’t get screwed up. I love the Dune universe, probably my favorite sci fi writings of all time.

I tried to read the Dune books when I was in college- I could not finish them.

I had some friends who were like totally into it.

The movie had some brilliantly filmed scenes (like the one where the ‘train’ car containing the creature was rolled in) but it was nearly as incoherent as the books.

And all the ‘whispered thoughts’ voice over drove me nuts.

I learned my lesson with “Fellowship of the Ring”. I’ll stick with the book. There’s no Hollywood script-writing that will ever make a good adaptation of Frank Herbert’s book, and there are absolutely no Hollywood special effects or casting that could possibly match what my 12 year old imagination came up with when I first read “Dune”.

I’ll wait for it to show up in the bargain bin of DVDs at Walmart. Same for Asimov’s “Foundation”.
