Liet Kynes as a black woman? That's gotta be like 20 woke points.

Looks like folks were correct in that Villeneuve was keeping the same feel of Lynch's Dune.

One helluva cast too, even with the blatant woke choices.

Rebecca Ferguson is so fricking hot. How she has been in some big movies and isnt a big timer is crazy.

I've actually been to where that first shot/pic was filmed. Wadi Rum in Jordan. Absolutely beautiful.

After Brian and Kevin did him dirty in Prequels. This is ok, this is fine.

I'm really digging the Atriedes armor, wish it had more green though. Really digging the simplicity of their swords. Not outlandish monstrosities and close to the gladius with a little Eastern flair.

Stillsuits look good.

Any Harkonnen or Corrin/Sardaukar stuff yet?

The Lynch production was ambitious but flawed. The stellar cast was betrayed the the studio's decision to shorten the movie to a little more than two hours. The plot was changed to include the idiotic weirding modules storyline. The Harkonnens were turned into cartoon characters when they were much more devious and dangerous in the books. The Sci-Fi Channel production was more true to the books but the cast was really sub-par.

It is is heartening to see a direcotr of Villeneuve's quality attempt to tackle Dune yet again. Unfortunately for him, Frank Herbert's son, Brian, will be the executive producer. He managed to take a science fiction masterpiece and butcher and bastardize it with a series of prequels and sequels. A Nazi-style book-burning of those books would not erase the sins that were committed against the Father on their pages.

However, one can hope against hope that Mr. Herbert will stay out of Villeneuve's way and that Dune will finally receive the cinematic portrayal it deserves
