Sci-Fi Dune

[Sithborg]

Okay, saw it on Imax. Glad I did, though might not have been the best idea going with a proto headache. The volume was a bit much in parts.

After my experience with Oppenheimer I think I'm done with IMAX, the only IMAX option I have always turns up the audio way too loud and with Oppenheimer they turned it up to the point where they could actually cause physical harm, as visually fantastic as the format is I think I'll settle for the standard theater experience.

I love a “we won’t spoil that here”, when just saying that she’s in the movie when we didn’t already know that is a bit of a spoiler.

I actually had this spoiled for me on Letterboxd of all places because she was listed in the cast but they've since taken the listing out due to it being a spoiler. Personally I'm happy that she's going to be in it because I like ATJ but at the same time part of me feels like it's stunt casting, especially since I believe the character is still supposed to be a child at this point in the story. Did Denis just do that in case of the unlikely event that Part 3 doesn't happen?

Zendaya asked her stylist, what if C-3P0 was ****able?

 

[DarkKnight88]

Well…

 

[antsman41]

I love how the Batman and DUNE casts dress like their characters/the film they're representing during their press tours.

I shudder to think how long that took to get into.

I think this is Zendaya's audition to play a droid in the next Star Wars movie.

 

[antsman41]

Woah, looks even more different in stills. The detail/styling is nuts.

 

[Gothamsknight]

Variety sure seems to love to spoil things

 

[antsman41]

Beverly Ann Stuart would be proud.

Re: That casting spoiler, why the hell didn't they just announce it in the first place?

Even with it spoiled, there's so much imagination that lends it self to whatever they could be doing.

Spoiler

Is she voicing a cgi baby-thing that looks like Renesmee?

Is she acting and they're morphing her into an adult-baby hybrid?

Are they simply growing Alia into a young adult and playing into into Anna's youthful looks?

 

[antsman41]

Seeing reviews stating this is a masterpiece and Denis' magnus opus, is like being told the sky is blue.

I guess it is actually a vintage archive piece from a famous French fashion show in the 90s. I can't post pictures of the original appearance because the French model didn't wear any undergarments.

I've been reading these reactions for 50 minutes and it feels like the grandiose adjectives are never-ending. The only middling review (out of about a hundred that I've seen) is from David Ehrlich, who didn't offer any details and hated the first film. As you said, this was to be expected, but it's still fun to read these.

Scott Mendelson was passive to it... I don't get him.

Ehrlich's not bad as a Blank Check guest but his reviews are usually trash.

I'm assuming it's option 3.

 

[Bats123]

All these reactions are giving me life.
I dont want it to sound like an exaggeration but, i truly feel we are in for a once in a lifetime movie.

 

[Sithborg]

Doubt it.

Spoiler

We likely would have heard of her casting much, much earlier if she actually showed up on set. Most likely, this is a voice work job for Joy. Legendary and WB would actually likely want to keep her for Messiah, but that is a long time away, so who knows

Or she could have been greenscreened in later. Whichever the case, just as long as we don't get this:

 

[Mjolnir Reborn]

The social media reactions I've seen this far are really supporting my absurdly high expectations. It's not far away now but the wait is starting to get painful.

Brolin and Skarsgard look underdressed.

Good god these women are beautiful
