I disagree. To sell this to a wider audience it's necessary to make people understand why this is such a beloved story. That doesn't really come across in this trailer, it just looks like Hunger Games in space to people who don't know Dune. And people are pretty much tired of those sorts of movies by this point. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThomasNicole 2,188 Posted September 9, 2020 Excellent reactions on social media Also great trailer, didn’t show much but it’s very intriguing And considering this will probably be delayed, showing too much right now is dumb 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
imbruglia 1,545 Posted September 9, 2020 btw, the trailer only say "only in cinemas" with no date, but mention December 16 on description. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valonqar 9,875 Posted September 9, 2020 Did they replace Jihad with Crusade or it's just one line picked for the trailer? Sorry to be nitpicky. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lorddemaxus 6,694 Posted September 9, 2020 I was kinda skeptical of this movie at the start but I think this movie looks pretty insane. Don't really get the YA comparisons. The music was a nod to Jodorowsky's Dune (Pink Floyd). 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucas 1,914 Posted September 9, 2020 Very solid, not toptier, doesn't make me more or less excited. Not a lot of colors but a whole lot of sulking. Had Villeneuve's name not been on it my excitement would be midtier at best. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valonqar 9,875 Posted September 9, 2020 watched this over and over. It really bring the book to life. Momoa is a standout and no wonder they cast him as Duncan who is the main hero in the books after Children of Dune. if they are hoping for a long lasting franchise which I'm not sure they'll get but casting is perfect so more power to them. What everyone calls generic I call accessible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrPink 63,881 Posted September 9, 2020 I think the trailer is pretty alright. Momoa looks like he's having a good time. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeQ 4,128 Posted September 9, 2020 I'm pretty excited, but I've been that way for a while, given Villeneuve and the cast. The trailer is good. It isn't mind-blowing or anything, but I'm not at all familiar with the story (I haven't read the book), so I don't know if we ought to expect a trailer like that (if it's more character driven vs action driven, etc). I'm pretty much always going to check out a Villeneuve movie. Peace, Mike 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maggie 405 Posted September 9, 2020 I have the trailer on repeat. I love the music too. Must be the only one 😀 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marveldcfox 1,701 Posted September 9, 2020 Looks good, but frankly this will not be as big as the studio is hoping. It is very hard to make the audience interested in a sci-fi movie that's not star wars / marvel/ DC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valonqar 9,875 Posted September 9, 2020 It's going to be bigger than projections of doom. It looks great, it's clear what it's about without being too spoilery, looks pretty af, beautiful cast, should play well across demos. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OncomingStorm93 1,756 Posted September 9, 2020 Eh, the trailer was alright. Even in normal times, doesn't scream to me "holiday breakout hit". As someone who had 0 familiarity with Blade Runner prior to the marketing for 2049, and has 0 familiarity with Dune, but has been a huge fan of Denis Villeneuve since I watched "Prisoners" in 2013, this trailer was far less appealing than any of the trailers for BR2049. This just doesn't grab me. I don't know if it's the sprawling cast, dreary visuals (especially compared to 2049, which was vibrant despite being a futuristic dystopia) or the high-concept nature of the source material, or a mix of it all, but I'm honestly a little disappointed. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
