That's what Dune 1 did but...going full 1.43 really sells the sheer scale in a way widescreen never can. The verticality provided is immense.

Didn't know IMAX release had changing aspect ratios! I was only able to see it on a regular screen.

 

The Dune physical media release was a constant 2.39 throughout. Sucks they didn't keep the changing ratio for video release like Maverick, which greatly enhanced that movie.

WB and IMAX totally are gonna double-dip here and IMAX will allow WB to release a version with changing aspect ratios in a couple of years. Probably for a Dune duology home video release or something.

Yeah, I wanna say about 35-40% of Dune 1's runtime opened up from 2.39 to 1.43? Here's some comparison footage if you're curious!

They did that for Batman v Superman, and the IMAX 4k disc actually went 2.35 to 1.43. A bit jarring when it switched at home but you got the full imax shot finally, looked awesome.

If these are both full frame in a future home video release, I can't wait to waste my time watching them just for that. I wasted 3 hrs a week ago watching BvS and ZSJL at 2x speed just to look at how they use the 1:43 frame lol.

85% chance this is the greatest movie ever made.

My expectations for this movie are unreasonably high. I expect no less than a cinematic orgasm honestly.

No less than what DC execs are describing the Flash as.

I predict this to be the biggest movie domestic fall/winter time frame. :-)

The first movie was a box office hit, but not a massive blockbuster. I expect a similiar performance from the second half.

[Lurrrrk]

This movie has a horrible release date. The Marvels the week after, then Hunger Games + Trolls, then Wish. It's the type of movie that really needs PLFs. And Warner's December slate will end up cannibalizing itself. If I were in charge, I would re-arrange the movies like this

Dune 2: October 20, 2023

Wonka: December 1, 2023

Aquaman 2: December 15, 2023

The Color Purple: December 29, 2024

I'm expecting WB to move Dune to mid Oct any day now. They still have time since we hadn't gotten the teaser yet.

[WittyUsername]

October 20th was the original release date. It was presumably moved because they figured they needed the few extra weeks of post. 

[Last Man Standing]

I dunno about the source, but I want to believe.

[Elessar]

They should release it at a time where it can keep PLFs for a while. Maybe even postpone it to beginning of next year. I can wait as long as it can benefit from a better release window.

Loking really good. Read the full article. It seems that they are making changes to characters and relationships

Jessica and Chani, antimosity is a new thing for sure, and Jessica actually tried to dissuade Paul from fulfilling his destiny as Mahdi in the book, not press him into it

but I'm not a purist so l'm on board.

Pugh looks perfect as Irulan, the costuming on these movies is so good.
