That was underwhelming. It didn't tease and felt a lot more like A Princess of Mars than Dune.

I half-expected John Carter to leap off that 'thopter and defeat the evil forces of Sab Than and his Helium Red Martians!

John Carter:



Dune:



Still very excited for this and will reserve other opinions for the full trailer.

To be frank, it is hard to get super excited for Josh Brolin when Sir Patrick Steward already pulled off the most awesome scene in movie history.

Dude. John Carter was a great film for middle aged kids (which was Edgar Rice Burrows targeted audience when he wrote the books!).

i liked john carter as a great visual adaptation of what i would call "victorian"-type science fiction. i'm sure there's a better term for it.

the time machine is another i think of in these terms.

I agree..John Carter was made at the wrong time.

I love John Carter too, it is a fantastic movie.

To clarify I think this story (John Carter) would have been fantastic and a classic if it had been done during the Disney Golden Age

Do we know for sure if those are Sardaukar or if they Harkonnen

Never read the book, so no clue what you're asking. Just posting all this stuff as a huge Denis Villeneuve fan, and because it looks to be an incredible blockbuster.

Is the original Dune movie worth watching before this?
I remember the trailer and commercials when I was a kid but it never sparked my interest enough to watch or rent later.
Duncan Idaho

I get that the question was directed more broadly.

It was peak 80s lunch. Not quite "Twin Peaks in Space" .

His set and costumes were great. He had a few things wrong, he had a few things right

I found the movie to be just bad-bad and not fun-bad.

Agree with this.

I just watched it a few weeks ago because I watch it every year. I still love it for the time period in which it was made. What will be interesting is if this reboot completely erases the Lynch one from memory and my rotation.

But if you haven't watched it yet, I would hold off for until after this one.

That picture looks to be Duncan Idaho in a stillsuit, so it could be Sardaukar disguised as Harkonnens if it's the Harkonnen attack on Arrakis

Only watch the extra hour long directors cut of the original Dune.

Oh and John Carter is a great movie.

Also really liked John Carter. May watch again because I don't remember much about it.

Still hoping they keep this about drug addled cowboys riding worms while having sword fights and dont force any woke nonsense into the story

Who is Thanos playing? Is that Gurney Halleck? Standing alongside Poe Dameron as Duke Leto.

Agreed. And let's keep politics out of this movie. The universe of Dune is post racial and post political and we need to preserve the sanctity of this classic fun-loving story.

i'm concerned there won't be enough lens flare.

I would rather spend my energy hoping they tell the story well, and it's edited in a way that makes sense.
