    Shít. It only just hit that our first will be barely out of the oven when this comes out. Home release for me then, there's no way we'll get to the cinema. Damn, I already resent my son lol (kidding, of course)

    Haha, I mean I should say I'm excited to meet my new best friend and adventure buddy - just for when he signs up to Boards and reads Dad's post history lol - but yeah I'm disappointed that having waited decades for another stab at Dune I'll miss the chance to see it on the big screen.

    Come on second wave; push that release back a few more months! :D

    Not the Paul I imagined but I'm always disappointed with movie depictions of my own imagination.

    Overall, I think it looks epic. Villeneuve might have cracked the impossible transition of Dune from book to film but we won't really know until we see it.

    Why’s that? I’m not familiar with Dune, is it a casting issue or acting ability?

    Hoping this gets pushed to 2021, looks like a real threat.

    He’s off making sure people aren’t standing too close to one another.

    Going by his line delivery in that trailer, I am not at all enthused by him. I wasn't thrilled at his casting in the first place though, I'll admit. But I fear he'll end up just being an annoying mumbler all the way through the film.

    I am enthusiastic about the trailer, and I am hopeful about Chalamet from what I've seen there.

    Interesting that he used the word "crusade" where the books would have used "jihad". I wonder if they've toned down the Arabian analogues among the fremen seeing as that's all gotten harder to navigate since the book was written.

    Paul is a pretty difficult character to nail, because he's a protagonist who goes from the somewhat callow teenaged son of a duke to being a religious/military leader inspiring fanatical devotion over the course of the story and just a few years. It's difficult to cast someone who is really impressive at both halves of his story.

    You can do a lot worse then Chalamet for this role, he has mostly made more independent movies, he has acting ability.... Also if your going to be a messiah/God you need great hair

    Who else could you have gotten ?

    He also has that great youthful arrogance mode that's perfect for young Paul, and can switch into a much more human and emotional mode later on. Chalamet is a great choice imo.

    I'm more excited to see what Rebecca Ferguson can do!

    I'm a very happy Dune fan right now!!!

    Kind of annoyed they showed the worms, I wanted that saved for the cinema but feck it. The Beast looks cool as well as the body shields. I'm not going to watch any more trailers from now. I went to see Tenet having avoided everything except the first trailer and it was all the better for it.

    He was very good in The King in a similar role... feckless prince thrust into battle.
