Elessar 5,149 Posted September 9, 2020 Not loving the musical choice. That's the first thing that comes to mind. Music is so important. You got Zimmer, use him! So that cheapened the trailer somewhat, unfortunately. Others might like it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cmasterclay 18,459 Posted September 9, 2020 I thought this was an ensemble sci-fi story, not a "chosen one" thing. That said, pretty great shots and design and I love Denis. We shall see. I wish the trailer focused less on Chalamet and more on the larger story - didn't really sell that this is a big new thing to a general audience. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lighthouse 22 Posted September 9, 2020 Lol this was all the hype for warner prestige priority. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cappoedameron 1,102 Posted September 9, 2020 The music choice reminded me of New Mutants...and I don't think you want that comparison. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knights of Ren 1,587 Posted September 9, 2020 Music choice was horrid, I think thats what threw me off the most. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Morieris 3,537 Posted September 9, 2020 Yeah the music made me take pause for a good chunk of this....but it looks cool outside of that. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valonqar 9,875 Posted September 9, 2020 I love this but that's not surprise ha ha. Big plus is that trailer is already much warmer than the book. Smart idea to beef popular faces such as Momoa and Zendaya in the trailer even though they have supporting roles. Everyone looks spot on and Shai Hulud looks great. Song is awkward, though, but is also hummable. I think it'll grow on me. It gives a good idea what the movie is about so GA should be interested. Really prettily shot.

grim22 68,341 Posted September 9, 2020 Looked okay. No idea what Dune is about, but looked like a "Hunger Games chosen one leads rebellion" from the trailer. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pepper83 470 Posted September 9, 2020 That was very underwhelming. Whoever is responsible for the music choice needs to get fired. And that Chalamet guy is so bland I can't even. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Menor 6,473 Posted September 9, 2020 I liked the trailer but not sure it markets well to a general audience. If you didn't know what Dune is it would feel like a very generic YA sci-fi trailer. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

filmlover 42,911 Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) The visuals look incredible, as expected. Everything else looks more generic than expected but have plenty of faith in Villeneuve and this talented cast delivering the goods.

Napoleon 6,158 Posted September 9, 2020 The movie looks great. I'm not sure the trailer will be effective in selling it to general audiences. But online activity is high, it's always trending when something is revealed. There's definitely hype for it, let's see how people receive the trailer. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, they need to sell this to a wider audience which isn't familiar with the original source material. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Completely agree and we all know that after The Hunger Games, the GA became tired of this kind of story. Hence why after THG every other book series that tried this flopped. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valonqar 9,875 Posted September 9, 2020 18 minutes ago, Maggie said: yeah, the first shots with zendaya are total fanservice for young people That's literally in the book. Chani is important for Paul's hero journey. The movie depicts it well judging by little snippets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
