![]() I was surprised by how much I loved the first film. Don’t tell me what happens! I want it to wash over me as I’m watching the movie. So riding the dune worm is the equivalent of Neo dodging the bullets? It proves that Paul is The One? Some of the shots remind me of Daenerys Targaryen’s best “mother of dragons” scenes, especially Paul walking out on that cliff. Here’s the first trailer for Dune 2: Bigger and Dunier. ![]() Josh Brolin is back, as is Stellan Skarsgard, Zendaya and Dave Bautista. Lea Seydoux and Javier Bardem are also part of the cast now. Austin Butler plays Prince Feydh-Rautha, who is apparently some kind of psychopath and serial killer. Florence Pugh has come on board as Princess Irulan, daughter of Emperor Shaddam IV. People are excited to see the big new cast additions and I guess I am too. I will go into the second film the same way – I don’t need to know the backstory or what happens in the books. Timothee Chalamet kills it as Paul Atreides, Rebecca Ferguson is great as his witch mother and…yeah. That scene where Oscar Isaac has been captured and they striped him naked on the chair? Holy sh-t. I thought it was gorgeous and well-acted. I don’t really care about what was left out – what made it into the first Dune movie was great. Which meant that I went into Denis Villeneuve’s film adaptation with a clear mind and an open heart. ![]() A post shared by DUNE true story, I’ve never read any of the Dune books, and I never watched the first film adaptation either. ![]()
