Just got back from the make Denis Villeneuve Happy Dune Half Hour and it was pretty well attended about 180 200 people?
Opening 10 minutes with exposition dump o plenty.
fluff pieces exalting at the altar of Denis Villeneuve and an unflatteringly staged interview of Hans Zimmer by him.
One of his "favorite scenes" a technically impressive but oddly emotionally non engaging Sand Harvester rescue.
The new trailer which presumably is with Sucide Squad and is mostly from the first 10 minutes.
Crowd got pumped about seeing the first 10 minutes and applauded at the end, but it was not a through the roof response.
I have never read the books or seen the Lynch film. Technically and design wise it looked great, no matter how far out everything had a grounded feel.
No idea if it's supposed to feel this way but Josh Brolin especially felt out of place like an ornery Texan in the middle of a Sci fi adventure. Similar vibe with Momoa.
My main issue was not feeling emotionally invested, for a scorching desert based film it feels pretty cold.
Last note, title card definitely listed Dune Part One

official trailer has dropped (3.5 minutes and essentially the whole plot in a nutshell, WB not leaving anything ambiguous) Jul 22, 07:25
and to notfabio's point, they are trying to head off the "coldness" (which is inherent in the source material) off at the pass Jul 22, 07:29
