People need to understand that Dune isn't a flashy, fast-paced thrill ride like Star Wars, it's focused more on worldbuilding and lore than on action, it's more artistic than commercial. It is an adaptation of a book that prompts readers to think, so if you go into a cinema expecting simple fun then you will be disappointed, Dune is anything but simple.
I also hope when people see similarities between Dune and Star Wars and other stories they realise which one it is that is that came first and which is derivative.
I agree. But managing expectations is important. You hear multimillion dollar sci-fi, with two of the most marketable actors of their generation you're not expecting an arthouse film. Nolan has managed to make beautiful, engaging films with depth and meaning, thrilling too. I think the art is in the balance and I think the balance was too heavily skewed on one side.
Yeah pretty much. Unless they also filmed the 2nd film at the same time, her walking in the desert a few times in different costumes must have been very harsh
I’m sorry but Timothee Chalamet is just a delight, Zendaya meanwhile is an absolute gem. It’s wonderful to see this fresh crop of high class actors who are so charming,well adjusted and down to earth 🌎
@@frankstared what? The cast is incredible. One of the best cast movies I’ve ever seen, nothing feels out of place. Tim is a perfect Paul Atreidis, the Lady Jessica is portrayed wonderfully and Oscar Isaac embodies duke Leto. Even from the books you get the feel that this a Spanish old money royal house. Who would you have cast to make this film then?
@@DonMo999 Isaac was probably the best of this lot while Skarsgard and Ferguson (too much screen time) were merely ok. Momoa and the Matrix-like fight scenes really brought this film down a few notches, but that's Hollywood. Meh, I would have preferred someone like Christian Bale or even Paul Bettany (I adored Lynch's work with Kyle MacLachlan and the inimitable Dean Sotckwell, while of course Sian Phillips was scintillating in 84') , though they are getting long in the tooth. The casting of 84' blew this away, imho. Today have sacrificed compelling good taste, script-writing and plot sequencing to CGI, visual effects, terrible audio and the superficial. I felt like I was watching a Marvel or Star Wars prequel-build a franchise and milk the cow (or cat?).
@@frankstared This film was very decent but I agree with you. We're so woefully lacking in true movie stars these days. Chalamet is beautiful and full of potential but people are acting like every performance he does must be gold, which of course shouldn't be the case because he's still young and learning. Zendaya felt a bit too Disney Channel for this type of project, though the franchise is a great opportunity to see more of her capabilities. Bautista and Momoa, despite being wonderful humans, didn't have the serious filmography to match a movie of this caliber, either, but I'm glad they're branching out. Love Skarsgard but he seemed miscast here as did Ferguson. All in all, I wasn't blown away by the casting, though I do think Chalamet was the right choice for this.
I love how nerdy Zendaya speaks ... it's genuinely a really nice thing that she doesn't adopt any kind of popular requirements of how we're supposed to speak or sound in the public eye.
Arrival got me thinking about language and time. I can’t believe I hadn’t managed to catch his Blade Runner sequel and I’m always kicking myself for that. Fuck Christopher Nolan. Give me Denis anytime, especially got for sci-if!
I wish they’d spend a little more time pointing out a key theme of Dune (other than the ecological, the oppression of the Fremen, the family tragedy etc…) which is ‘beware of charismatic leaders, as their mistakes become magnified a million-fold…’ When people follow a charismatic leader to the point of religious/cult-like devotion, you could burn the world [or universe]… That was what Herbert himself says is the key message… it is especially topical given the western world’s current predilection to electing dangerous, incompetent charismatic leaders… 🤷♂️

True, watch it in cinema. Screen is only half the issue with watching at home, the other is the way better sound system in theaters that gives Zimmer's fantastic work the bang it needs

Usually when I think of knuckle cracking, I think of it as a ritual. A religion. A belief system. Essentially a tribute to God. That or it's just knuckle cracking
Stephen has it exactly right... Watching the movie this morning, I can tell you that at no point did the material feel 'lesser than' the book. They even made up for the lack of internal monologues and voiceovers, by embroidering details to explain or emphasize characters' motivations. It was all so skillfully done, and I can't wait for Part 2! 🤩
Newcomers to Dune might get lost. There are vocabulary words like (Shai Hulud, Gom Jabbar, Bene Gesserit, Kwisatz Haderach to name a few) that will throw a monkey wrench to a lot of non book readers that are not really explained well in the movie and part 1 is heavy on the dialogue and world building. Luckily for part 2 (if it happens) Denis V. said that it would be a lot more action and less talking and that the camera would be doing the heavy load. As a non book reader I couldn’t get into my first viewing of this movie. I found it a little boring and I watched it in IMAX. Went home the same night and watched it on HBO max with subtitles and really got into it. IMAX speakers don’t help with dialogue cause it drowns the voices in some scenes, especially when they whisper then on English words. I almost had to force myself to rewatch, but I’m glad I did and got more out of it and started reading the book and now know what the Dune specific vocabulary words I mentioned earlier. A movie shouldn’t take a second, third or more viewing, but in this case, it might for a lot of others. I’m glad I did and I appreciate the movie more that my first viewing.
You never look nervous Zendaya! You always look really cool and calm. Super excited to watch the movie this weekend. I’m sure with the two of you and the rest of the amazing cast, it’s gonna pull me right in! 💗
@@Riac007 soooooooo good! Incredible job adapting the book. One of the best casting jobs I’ve seen in a film. And just beautiful from front to back. I just wish it didn’t get cut off halfway through the story. They better make Pt. 2!
I like how they both do the ear scratch! Their chemistry is very pleasant Great movie and cannot wait to see how they continue the series!! Give me the full cut of this movie - I could have watched 5 hours easily
Does anyone remember the glossary in the back (front?) of Dune? Like the definition for Baklava? 😁 Half lebanese and half greek, I absolutely LOVED Dune. Frank Herbert really was amazing
3 times on IMAX, 100000 times at home and I’m sure I’m going to rewatch it many times. I can’t wait for the double screening with Dune part 2 and maybe hopefully Dune Messiah? 🤨🙏
My husband was slightly disappointed at the lack of internal monologue being voiced as in the Kyle Mc. and Sting version, and I was like, "Are you kidding?! That was the most annoying part of that version!" I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would, having only seen the aforementioned version, although Jason Mamoa with no facial hair was triggering - I cried the first time I ever saw my dad clean-shaven, and JM took me right back - thanks, DUNE! 😊
Man, y'all really leaned into that sweeping wind sound effect, huh. Haha. Could have been nice as an establishing that fades out with audience applause but it got a little distracting after some time. I see what you were going for though.
04:40 "...i didn't have to...pull out any kind of (takes out three dolls of the enemy and snaps their head) ritual to calm myself down..." Glad to hear it... :)
Listening to these two, specifically pull up how wonderful filming the movie has been, makes me want to support it even more. Now, I just need to search the couch to get the coins for the outrageous high ticket prices, in shady darkened goo infested rooms, they like to call cinema's around here.
I was a little disappointed they didn't keep the part when Paul kills Jamis and his mother doesn't ask him, "How does it feel to be a killer?" It always seemed like a very important moment where Paul is surrounded by danger and violence but his mother uses the moment to impress upon him the gravity of taking life.
You know why she said it, right? The Bene Gesserit had been spreading the Messiah legend to every world they inhabited for centuries, and she knew that the implanted legend on Arrakis included a young leader who "gave water for the dead", so she said it to get her son to cry. That way the Fremen would more willingly believe in her son. It's in the world-building notes of Herbert himself, which his son and his editor, Brian Anderson, used to finish the last several novels he had been working on. I'm as big a superfan of Herbert as Stephen is. 💜✌️😁 I have spent DECADES digging DEEP. 🖤 I read the original Dune novel in 1973.
@@honorsilverthorne7227 same here. My guess is that this is precisely how they start the second film, once they reach Sietch Tabr and reclaim Jamis’ water.
No spoilers. Having seen the movie, i'm not sure if i really, really, like or really, really hate how some big plot parts of the book are shown in the movie, and only last for like 10 seconds. On the one hand i'm glad they didn't waste a bunch of time on stuff i know will not matter in the end... and on the other hand i'm like, 'But that part was very important and explains why this character does that later on, and you just brush over it.' I guess what i really want is the quality of this movie, but that every detail in the book is also handled in the movie with this quality. But then again, i doubt they would get permission to make 5 movies of 3 hours each.
Zen was in it for like 5 mins 😂 I know she's gonna be in the next one a ton but idk why they have her plastered all over the trailer ect. The trailer showed literally the only time she was in the film
@@randolphpinkle4482 maybe you're right, idk anymore lol I was sure they are looking at each other like they're in the same room and there are also no weird delays or overlaps that normally happen during remote interviews. They did a pretty good job at least
Yea they are in same room. It was a joke, when Stephen said, they couldn't b here today, so I went to them...... On Arrakis. Which obviously isn't a real place, Stephen studio put desert on sa green screen to look like the planet.
Dune was shot for IMAX, with IMAX 70mm cameras. The aspect ratio on IMAX release combined with the size of the canvas makes it so much more of an immersive experience. Go see it on IMAX, so we can have the Part II. The US and China theater gross will decide the fate of the series....
Yup. She's sprinkled throughout. Pretty good movie. I just felt like it was dark AF for some reason. Not as in the tone but the lighting itself. Idk if it was just me. I saw it in 3D.

0:17 let's be real, there are many aspect of the book that are missing Stephen. I, for example, would like to see Guild Navigators. Hope they will be in part 2. The new movie is amazing. I loved it, but there are some things that didn't make it from the books.
Rebecca Ferguson should be in the interviews. She was the one with Paul the whole time. Zendaya my have a bigger role in the second movie but she doesn't have a reason to do press now. Oscar Isaac, Jason Momoa, Stellan Skarsgaard, the guy that taught Paul how to fight (I don't remember the actor). They were in the movie for longer periods. She didn't have that much screen time. I just think they wanted her fans to watch it, hoping she would be a protagonist. She wasn't tho, she was just a character with unexplored arc
From what I hear, the movie is only the first of two adapting the book. The character is more in the second half of the book. Hopefully, the second movie is going to be made.
Her role is very small in this part. Not because it's unimportant but because the movie just hasn't reached her part of the book. She is gonna be huge in part 2 though, if there is a part 2.
@@stillhere95 I don’t think you’ve read the book. I’ve read the book if you think she’s going to have a bigger role in the second movie you’re gravely mistaken. If you read the book then you should know what happened to Chani in the second half of the book stop leading people on!
@@lanealkarate I haven't read the book! Pls no spoilers. Just the way they have been positioning zendaya and her character through flashes, led me to believe that this what everything's been leading upto.
I really never felt like it was slow. It was long with only one break in the cinema, but I didn't mind, there is so much to see and so much detail. And I hadn't read the book before, maybe parts, but I was so intruiged.
I'm glad to hear this. I wasn't going to bother seeing it because the first one was so god awful and i don't like remakes , but this and the trailer sounds promising.
@@hornylorney8150 He deserved it, he was a great actor. Zendaya is... ok. I don't think anyone is going to argue that her acting in those 7 minutes were anything special.
From reading the books I'm still thrown by how the first Dune film and this one paint her as so frequently uncomposed and at the mercy of her feelings. In the books she is described as 'having a face like a stone mask', not as someone who would be "oh help! help! Now I will cry".
These two either exaggerate for comedic effect or have been in their own little world on set. Because Josh Brolin had no idea what they were talking about when they brought up the dance parties Timothee and Zendaya said were happening.
People need to understand that Dune isn't a flashy, fast-paced thrill ride like Star Wars, it's focused more on worldbuilding and lore than on action, it's more artistic than commercial.

Man, y'all really leaned into that sweeping wind sound effect, huh. Haha. Could have been nice as an establishing that fades out with audience applause but it got a little distracting after some time. I see what you were going for though.
04:40 "...i didn't have to...pull out any kind of (takes out three dolls of the enemy and snaps their head) ritual to calm myself down..." Glad to hear it... :)
Amazing how you can tell just how much timmy loves and respects film!
This interview is longer than Zendaya's screen time.
Listening to these two, specifically pull up how wonderful filming the movie has been, makes me want to support it even more. Now, I just need to search the couch to get the coins for the outrageous high ticket prices, in shady darkened goo infested rooms, they like to call cinema's around here.
4:40 that phalangeal cracking got shivers up my spin
I was a little disappointed they didn't keep the part when Paul kills Jamis and his mother doesn't ask him, "How does it feel to be a killer?" It always seemed like a very important moment where Paul is surrounded by danger and violence but his mother uses the moment to impress upon him the gravity of taking life.
You know why she said it, right? The Bene Gesserit had been spreading the Messiah legend to every world they inhabited for centuries, and she knew that the implanted legend on Arrakis included a young leader who "gave water for the dead", so she said it to get her son to cry. That way the Fremen would more willingly believe in her son.
It's in the world-building notes of Herbert himself, which his son and his editor, Brian Anderson, used to finish the last several novels he had been working on.
I'm as big a superfan of Herbert as Stephen is. 💜✌️😁 I have spent DECADES digging DEEP. 🖤 I read the original Dune novel in 1973.
@@honorsilverthorne7227 same here. My guess is that this is precisely how they start the second film, once they reach Sietch Tabr and reclaim Jamis’ water.
@@honorsilverthorne7227 wow didn’t know that
@@honorsilverthorne7227 I did not know that. Very interesting.

I love this woman
I have to admit, there are some scenes that I am looking forward to seeing an very extended edition of.
Zendaya was on set for like four days lol
ruclips.net/video/wmXi6zAgxHM/видео.html
Zendaya 💕💕💕
ruclips.net/video/wmXi6zAgxHM/видео.html
Thanks Zendaya, now I have to pop *my* knuckles.
Awesome interview; awesome guests!
No spoilers.
Having seen the movie, i'm not sure if i really, really, like or really, really hate how some big plot parts of the book are shown in the movie, and only last for like 10 seconds.
On the one hand i'm glad they didn't waste a bunch of time on stuff i know will not matter in the end... and on the other hand i'm like, 'But that part was very important and explains why this character does that later on, and you just brush over it.'
I guess what i really want is the quality of this movie, but that every detail in the book is also handled in the movie with this quality. But then again, i doubt they would get permission to make 5 movies of 3 hours each.
ruclips.net/video/wmXi6zAgxHM/видео.html
As she cracks her knuckles right at the end. That's a first for the Late Show.
Timothee trying to compliment Dennis 'It felt like watching Christopher Nolan for first time' LOOOOOL... why would you say that
Zen was in it for like 5 mins 😂 I know she's gonna be in the next one a ton but idk why they have her plastered all over the trailer ect. The trailer showed literally the only time she was in the film
Are you kidding? A face like hers is going in the trailer as much as you can squeeze it in.
Someone else said this and I agree they it would be great if they gave Colbert a lil role in dune part 2 he genuinely loves those books a lot.
Stephen, you're such a Nerd! I love you!
It's well made and very tightly edited. No speilberg-like money shots, but plenty of action and tension.
Making a movie of Dune is like making a statue of Dark Side of the Moon.
I am sure I will love it, regardless.
Was already done back in 84'.
@@frankstared They made a statue of Dark Side of the Moon?!
@@nathanhughes David Lynch is a rather esoteric film-maker and his version of Dune quite superb.
I've heard it's a very faithful adaptation of the book
@@frankstared i agree the lynch version is great. It led me successfully to the book.
Can’t wait to see it!

@@tovanto3971 well played... troll of the day fosho
I am really looking forward for the Dylan biopic starring T
I’m amazed!!! Perfect, perfect adaptation!!! I’m so happy 😭
In person interview would’ve had Stephen in full nerd-flow, pity!!
ruclips.net/video/wmXi6zAgxHM/видео.html
what? this is an in person interview. just not in the studio lol
@@wZem Nah, Steven isn't in the same room with them. It's all an illusion.
@@randolphpinkle4482 maybe you're right, idk anymore lol
I was sure they are looking at each other like they're in the same room and there are also no weird delays or overlaps that normally happen during remote interviews. They did a pretty good job at least
Yea they are in same room. It was a joke, when Stephen said, they couldn't b here today, so I went to them...... On Arrakis. Which obviously isn't a real place, Stephen studio put desert on sa green screen to look like the planet.
WHAT IS THIS SET LMAO AND THE BACKROUND NOISE?? AJHSJAJSKAKS
Dune was shot for IMAX, with IMAX 70mm cameras. The aspect ratio on IMAX release combined with the size of the canvas makes it so much more of an immersive experience. Go see it on IMAX, so we can have the Part II. The US and China theater gross will decide the fate of the series....
Wait Zendeya was only filming for 5 days? So what does she have like 1 scene in the movie?
It probably breaks off right about when Paul and Jessica escape to the desert...so her main parts will be later..😉🖖
Not really SPOILERY but just in case… This movie ends a short time after they meet. She’s sprinkled throughout though. ☺️
Yup. She's sprinkled throughout. Pretty good movie. I just felt like it was dark AF for some reason. Not as in the tone but the lighting itself. Idk if it was just me. I saw it in 3D.
zendaya low key just be talking
ruclips.net/video/wmXi6zAgxHM/видео.html
Have to run the time out-
Also Zendaya’s wearing the necklace Tom gave her. So at least she’s got that going for her 😂
She's "got that going for her?" What does that mean or have to do with her in this movie?
@@sumoni right?
Yes, please explain. Zendaya is an asset to Tom, not the other way around.
This setting and background noise was so uneccesary 😂😂😂
I did exactly what Stephen said - but before he said it. 😎 Dune in XD and then watched again on HBOMAX and will watch again and again!
They should cast Stephan as the Emperor
Great movie. Zendaya shows up on screen for about 4-5 minutes in a two and a half hour movies
They're talking about fart jokes and my dog literally just farted💩
Excellent. So, so good. : )

@@angelinajordan5662 NEVER LOSS?... I sincerely doubt when I see such things like 100% WIN strategy, Crypto trading is very technical, involves carefulness and great IQ... I wonder doing that with no losses or I will say only a professional trader/broker can do that.
Nowadays, there are lots of brokers and to find one, it most be online, retail, trusted and reliable. So please how can I find a professional broker to trade with?
@@lynsiemae9587 Yes you're right. There's a professional which I have been investing with his names are Chris Sain. We've been working together for months now and he's been awesome.
is it just me or could Timothée totally play Andy Garcia's son?
Watching this tonight! Can’t wait
Love them both
0:17 let's be real, there are many aspect of the book that are missing Stephen. I, for example, would like to see Guild Navigators. Hope they will be in part 2. The new movie is amazing. I loved it, but there are some things that didn't make it from the books.
You just answered your own query. You know there will be a part 2.
4:38 - Argh... the knuckle-cracking habit. >shudder
Sounds serious for you. Maybe you should go to the ER.🙄
Seen both movies, love both of them. But I am monumentally annoyed that I will have to wait like 4 years to get part 2. Sucks...
They are both so awesome and charming, and also talented. I hope neither of their characters ever births a tyrant.
I am a huge Frank Herbert fan, & I love you, Stephen; however, I've heard that they left out Feyd Rautha.
Going to see this on big screen…been a long time…
If he was just going to turn Dune into Star Wars, he should have just made a Star Wars movie.
I’m a few minutes in to this interview, and Steven is still talking….
Rebecca Ferguson should be in the interviews. She was the one with Paul the whole time. Zendaya my have a bigger role in the second movie but she doesn't have a reason to do press now. Oscar Isaac, Jason Momoa, Stellan Skarsgaard, the guy that taught Paul how to fight (I don't remember the actor). They were in the movie for longer periods. She didn't have that much screen time.
I just think they wanted her fans to watch it, hoping she would be a protagonist. She wasn't tho, she was just a character with unexplored arc
Timothée Chalamet in private for relax everyone : Doing Fart jokes
Why I m not suprised at all🤣
Wait Zendaya was set for only 5 days??!!!!
From what I hear, the movie is only the first of two adapting the book. The character is more in the second half of the book. Hopefully, the second movie is going to be made.
ruclips.net/video/wmXi6zAgxHM/видео.html
Her role is very small in this part. Not because it's unimportant but because the movie just hasn't reached her part of the book. She is gonna be huge in part 2 though, if there is a part 2.
@@stillhere95 I don’t think you’ve read the book. I’ve read the book if you think she’s going to have a bigger role in the second movie you’re gravely mistaken. If you read the book then you should know what happened to Chani in the second half of the book stop leading people on!
@@lanealkarate I haven't read the book! Pls no spoilers. Just the way they have been positioning zendaya and her character through flashes, led me to believe that this what everything's been leading upto.
Highlight: @4:38
Patience is code for slow, reaaalllly, reaallllyy sssssllllooooowwww
ruclips.net/video/wmXi6zAgxHM/видео.html
I really never felt like it was slow. It was long with only one break in the cinema, but I didn't mind, there is so much to see and so much detail. And I hadn't read the book before, maybe parts, but I was so intruiged.
@@M0oranshi A break? Did they show it with an intermission or did you step out?
Such an amazing movie. But it's more than anything an intro to the Dune universe.
Zendaya is miscast in this role. She doesn’t have the experience or the acting talent to portray such an important character.
I'm glad to hear this. I wasn't going to bother seeing it because the first one was so god awful and i don't like remakes , but this and the trailer sounds promising.
Love those off-day Wendy I mean windy Tinnitus noises.
I mean Tina Turner Tinnitus.
Hope it’s as visceral as the 80’s version.
More so, I think. And I didn’t hate te David Lynch version or the Sci-Fi channel version, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The 80s version was a COMPLETE abortion. Truly, truly good awful.
Amazing cast in Dune, every scene was powerful.
The sound of the wind makes everything they say seem like a wack joke. Lmao.
Lol😂
Friendly reminder: Zendaya is in the movie for a total of 7 minutes.
Anthony Hopkins won an Oscar for something like 11 mins in The Silence of the Lambs
@@hornylorney8150 He deserved it, he was a great actor. Zendaya is... ok. I don't think anyone is going to argue that her acting in those 7 minutes were anything special.
Rebecca Ferguson doesn't seem like the type of person to laugh at fart jokes.
ruclips.net/video/wmXi6zAgxHM/видео.html
From reading the books I'm still thrown by how the first Dune film and this one paint her as so frequently uncomposed and at the mercy of her feelings.
In the books she is described as 'having a face like a stone mask', not as someone who would be "oh help! help! Now I will cry".
These two either exaggerate for comedic effect or have been in their own little world on set. Because Josh Brolin had no idea what they were talking about when they brought up the dance parties Timothee and Zendaya said were happening.
@@sumoni Josh Brolin ain’t in his twenties. Surely he and all the other old people had activities of their own? 😜
@@karlmortoniv2951 Javier said he danced a little but didn't describe it as a dance party. Sounds more like those two had their own party with music.
5 days?? did zendaya shoot for only 5 days on this production? omg!!!
