Its themes go well beyond the YA tropes A lot of YA books have themes that go way beyond just tween romance. Something like The Hate U Give has heavy themes but is correctly categorized as YA still due to the age and relatability of the protagonist to the young adult audience (age 12-17) and the accessibility of the language/prose. Dune totally fits in that mold as well. I don't know why that's seen as such a stigma beyond the fact that it's associated with girls and female readers more. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elessar 5,149 Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) If anyone fancies the native 4K IMAX version (still 21:9) of the trailer... It's almost 1GB, though... http://downloads.ddigest-dl.com/movies/Dune_HEVC_MKV_4K_UHD_Trailer.html Edited September 13, 2020 by Elessar 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe, just maybe, WB isn't gonna move Dune and have both movies coexist, if the pandemic doesn't get worse that is. Warneres will end up moving both movies to 2021 as far the US is concerned. The public health experts are taking a increase in Covid number due to cold weather this winter as a given. I agree with Tele, WB for some reason is taking the bandaid off slowly rather then admit that major relases are almost certianly dead for 2020. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elessar 5,149 Posted September 15, 2020 Based on the documentary Jodorowsky seems full of himself but in an endearing way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dudalb 6,817 Posted September 16, 2020 Gee, a film based on a well beleoves Classic Novel is a bit predictable. Who woulg have thought? I am really afraid Jodorowsky would have thrown the book out the wndow in order to be "Original"/ 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snarkmachine 181 Posted September 17, 2020 haven't read the books, but a fan of most of the cast and denis the trailer was boring? some cool visuals, but not anything that wowed me. maybe if we hadn't had five star wars movies in the last five years, it would seem fresher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least he was honest about his jealousy. He was jealous Lynch got the job, but felt at ease when he saw the end product. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valonqar 9,875 Posted September 18, 2020 So since all Harkonnens are bald so will be pretty boy Feyd. Wonder who will they cast? What young actor looks good with shaven head? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elessar 5,149 Posted September 18, 2020 24 million views on the official youtube channel and counting. More than the Batman trailer for example. I guess that's not too bad... 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess that's not too bad... Batman trailer is split across multiple videos. If you search for "The Batman trailer", the official video (22m views) is third down. The top two videos from third party uploaders have 13m and 7m views, respectively. Whereas if you search for "Dune trailer", you only get the official video. The next video below that is the trailer for the 1984 film. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valonqar 9,875 Posted September 18, 2020 still, it's an encouraging number though it doesn't say anything about GA prospect. Fans of the book, Timmy, Jason, Zendaya checked this out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do not know why you do not see them, but there are lots of YT channels showing it. Big-ish (3 million) and ~ small (Dune trailer views over 100k) channels. In addition there are quite some reaction and breakdown clips with over 100k views too, those might even have a bigger impact than the sole trailers (in general), at least for a part of the potential viewers..

cax16 6,498 Posted September 18, 2020 Dune trailer is doing well for sure but it’s not even close to total views for Batman. Batman is double it on Twitter (Batman has nearly 25m on there) and also had 22-23m live views as well on Fandome day. There’s also reaction videos with a million views for Batman trailer. Either way, it doesn’t really matter, Dune is definitely doing well and better then I thought it would and it’s still a good sign it passed Batman on YouTube.
