Paul is supposed to be 15 in Dune so physically, the casting was correct. His character isn't very charismatic in the book, imo, so I thought the performance was fitting. A recurring theme in the book is his reluctance to being a "messiah" and also resentment about the way he was raised/trained.

I also don't think it was made very clear in the film but the whole reason the Freman view him as their messiah is because the Bene Gesserits spread the stories/myths about a savior for (I would guess) thousands of years. It wasn't just the Freman who were told this either; they spread this message across many planets and civilizations. Paul just happened to land on Arrakis.

As someone who read the book, I thought they did a great job with what they were able to squeeze into two and a half hours. The tone and performances fit how I imagined them. The problem is there's just so much detail they had to leave out. A lot of missed subtleties and backstory that adds up to a lot when looking at the big picture.

I really, really wish this was a series instead of a movie. I strongly disagree with anyone who thinks a movie is the only way this would have worked or been greenlit. There's a lot of interesting stuff in the story but we're only getting surface level detail, if that, with the movie(s). A series with Apple's money behind it would have been phenomenal.

If they went through all the books with the different characters, ages and necessary re-casting, it could have been groundbreaking.

yeah i know nothing about the books but i feel like it was obvious there was so much left out. this would have been amazing as a series with a GOT budget.

Denis said with James Cameron that he wasn't gonna be able to shoot both at the same time anyway because it's too large in scope. The actors/actresses shot for 109 days and it was months before the storyboards etc. were ready to go. Would have been hard to do.

FEELS LIKE ITS ONLY SCRATCHED

MOVIE WAS TOO LONG
TO BE AN APPETIZER.

2 years? Nah, I would have liked a Different ending if we got a sequel. I thought for sure they were going to run it back asap.

Hunger games were released yearly.. This should have been planned the same way.

Learned something new, Caladan is the fictionalization of Caledonia which is what the Roman's called Scotland. Queue the bagpipes.

Since BR2049 didn't make much money in theaters they were hesitant to greenlight 2 movies off the bat. Denis actually said he didn't think he had the stamina to film it back to back and that it would've been too grueling, the desert shoots were apparently exhausting. We're lucky we got any Dune at all.

Wrong. Just announced today for October 2023

That’s 3 months from 2024. How likely will that date stay true as well? Come on breh

Denis is ready to shoot and Zimmer never stopped working on music, it could move up if anything.
