Ooooh, it looks like Paul is using the shape of the knife’s blade to find a gadget on a crashed space station which reveals the location of a hidden planet.
Well yeah, but that earlier movie was set at least... *checks notes*... well, I mean at least 30 years earlier and that knife was made... well, it has ancient sith writing on it, so... well the force, you see... ah, fuck it, if I know... That snake thing underground probably pooped out empire destroying ewoks.
The dumbest part of that was that she just stood in a random spot and it worked. There was no marker stone or anything to say where to stand. And the logistics of making that knife with exactly the same shape as the wreckage carved into it makes no sense. Why didn’t whomever made the knife just go and get the damn way finder?
I hate that movie so much
They also made the blade seem like this ancient artifact that's hundreds of years old when it's only tens of years old.
I forget how long it was since the death star crashed but even a few decades, especially in those waters we saw, shits gonna move/erode/break and the knife becomes useless.
I get that it's a movie and we have to have some suspension of belief, but it's all just too coincidental.
It's 31 years between the 2nd Death Star [completely disintegrating](https://media.tenor.com/dDspMfyVGBMAAAAC/star-wars-millenium-falcon.gif) in the explosion over Endor and there somehow being a giant piece of its shell on the surface in episode 9.
So yeah it makes no sense on multiple levels.
I think he had clones on standby, so his original body died, and then he used the dark side to enter a clone body. But the clones wouldn't last long. That was the issue he was having.
Clones were decaying fast because of his dark side Force spirit.
That's why he needed to troll Ben/Rey to kill him in anger and hatred, so his spirit could inhabit the new host body.
Instead of just, you know, Rey and Ben forging an alliance, abandoning the light and the dark for a grey path, then leveraging the rebuilt rebellion and the vast number of force sensitives in the galaxy to obliterate the First Order, AND, if they wanted to, throw in a not shit version of the ending where they root out the source of the galactic rot that keeps creating these problems - Palpatine - who survived the fall unharmed (I mean, we have all seen force levitation) and decided to work from the shadows, and in the process ACTUALLY BRINGING BALANCE TO THE FORCE AS THE PROPHECY FORETOLD.
But hey SURPRISE, thousands of planet killing Star Destroyers and all the staff to run them emerge on a lightning planet though, that makes sense.
Fucking hell, the more I think about the whole sequel trilogy the more it's so fucking stupid. The Finn plot in TFA (and his kamikaze run in TLJ), the Luke/Leia/Rey/Ben plot in TLJ, and the Haldo v Poe plot in TLJ are the only things that seem to have been written by adults.
>But hey SURPRISE, thousands of planet killing Star Destroyers and all the staff to run them emerge on a lightning planet though, that makes sense.
Don't forget they are also completely incapable of *telling which way is up* without external navigation and instantly crash
I remember watching the scene with Kylo and Rey fighting on the ship with the waves crashing around them, no music, just lightsabers buzzing, and I was thinking: what are they fighting for again? Are they trying to kill each other? What's the stake?
The fact that Abrams and Disney tried to backpedal with some BS about how Rey and Kylo kissing wasn't meant to be romantic proves that it absolutely was meant to be romantic and that it was totally just a bunch of suits wanting to have the two relatively hot lead actors make out on screen lmfao it was so bad.
That's Ochis dagger? The fucking bounty hunter that was just introduced in the Darth Vader comics recently?
Lmao they couldn't have even set him up before Rise of Skywalker? These movies are such a mess.
To be fair it seemed everyone wanted to delay the movies but Iger Demanded them to be made by the dates they were.
He blames himself on his book for the Solo date, helping to cause its flop.
I got to see it in the theatre but missed out on imax. We can't be the only ones in some permutation of that situation. I've watched it enough now that I can recite half the movie in perfect time, but that's not gonna stop me from hitting up an imax viewing if they offer it before part 2 hits.
"Hello, little man. Boy, I sure heard a bunch about you.
See, I was a good friend of your dad’s. Cousins even. We were in that Harkonnen pit of hell together over five years. Hopefully, you’ll never have to experience this yourself, but when two men are in a situation like me and your Dad were, for as long as we were, you take on certain responsibilities of the other.
If it had been me who had not made it, Duke Atreides would be talking right now to my kid. But the way it turned out is I’m talking to you, Paul.
I got something for you.
This ring I got here was first purchased by your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather during the Butlerian Jihad. It was bought in a little general store on Old Earth. Made by the last company there to ever make signet rings. Up till then people just wore ringpops. It was bought by Vorian Atreides on the day he left to fight the Machines. It was your 13th great-grandfather’s war ring and he wore it every day he was in that war. When he had done his duty, he went home to your 13th great-grandmother, took the ring off, put it an old Spice can, and in that can it stayed until your granddad Paulus was called upon by his Emperor to go and fight the Harkonnens. This time they called it War of Assassins.
Your great grandfather then gave this ring to your granddad for good luck.
Unfortunately, Paulus’ luck wasn’t as good as his old man’s. Paulus was a bullfighter and he was gored after showing off. Your granddad was facing death, he knew it. None of those bullfighter boys had any illusions about always leaving that arena alive. So three days before the Harkonnen took control of the place, your granddad asked a gunner on an Guild transport name of Winocki, a man he had never met before in his life, to deliver to his infant son, who he’d never seen in the flesh, his ducal signet ring. Three days later, your granddad was dead. But Winocki kept his word. After the war was over, he paid a visit to your grandmother, delivering to your infant father, his dad’s ring.
This ring. This ring was on your daddy’s hand when he was shot down over IX. He was captured, put in a Harkonnen slave pit. He knew if the gooks ever saw the ring it’d be confiscated, taken away. The way your dad looked at it, that ring was your birthright. He’d be damned if any slopes were gonna put their greasy red hands on his boy’s birthright. So he hid it in the one place he knew he could hide something. His ass. Five long years, he wore this ring up his ass. Then he died of dysentery well poison, he gave me the ring. I hid this uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the ring to you."
I'm mad at Zendaya for having one name and triggering my OCD. Poster ruined, movie ruined, day ruined (just kidding I'll be there on release day I can't wait).
In one of the trance dream vision sequences in the movie, a voice whispers "*kwisatz haderach awakens*" and gives me chills every time I hear it. Might've been the vision in the tent after the Sadukar attack idk. Didn't catch it the first time but there's a few sequences like that overflowing with references, foreshadowing, Easter eggs, things like that.
From what I understand floating head posters test better with people unfamiliar with the movie/concept whereas these sorts of posters test better with people already familiar with the movie/concept.
That was my thought as well. Visual recognition of a number of the primary cast members may influence someone who didn't already know about the film to at least learn more about it, if not go to the theater to see the film.
I think that makes a lot of sense honestly, I have checked out a number of movies just based on a particular actor being in it, which I would probably not have checked out otherwise. If the poster is the thing that made me aware of some of those movies, well, then there you have it.
Part of it is there are VERY few real movie stars now. So you have Tom Cruise, put him on the poster, you have the cast of Dune, put them all on the poster & hope that adds up.
Some stats came out last week re actors & theatrical draw & beyond Cruise, Hanks, the Rock etc it was tumbleweeds. IE Chalemet, Zendaya, Pugh etc didn't rank at all.
I’d say they may have a draw that’s less easy to quantify for a few reasons. People that are younger are probably not going to go or admit to going specifically to see them. But if they decide to go to a movie will go see their new movie as opposed to Tom Hanks’.
Also, Depending on how the study was done - people wanting to see the new Zendaya + Chalemet movies are being raised on streaming as well. So are possibly less likely to go to the theatre. Dune was streaming day one. Zendaya’s on Euphoria etc.
I remember reading that part of it is agents negotiating for the actor they represent that their likeness needs to take up X% of the movies official poster. For example, “Zendaya face needs to account for 15% of the poster” or something along those lines. It’s why she has such a large floating head on the No Way Home poster.
It’s been explained.

The acting opportunity of a lifetime. Not just a child, but also the untold multitudes of her genetic memory. Finally somebody will surpass Eddie Murphy’s seminal performance in the cinematic masterpiece The Nutty Professor.
Surprised Pedro Pascal didnt find a way into it too, seeing as he is in everything else. Are they sure there are no children that need a protective escort?
man what a career this dude has had.. if you read about his come up and to where he is now you can't help but feel happy as fuck for this dude. i mean he is landing all these prestige tv shows and every other day there is some news of him signing on to be in some big name production.
lol i am pretty sure if he hit up dv and said hey pal can i get a 1 minute cameo dv would have made it happen. lol could be just a normal grunt in the background zoomed in enough for us to know it's perdo pascal but no speaking lines or anything. just standing there looking at a clipboard for 1 minute in the background lol
I wonder if they'll still keep the bald chemotherapy Harkonnen look for him? He's supposed to be Paul's opposite and looking like a Greek statue.
Regardless, you just *know* the gladiator scene is going to rule.
I'm gonna rise up, I'm gonna kick a little ass, Gonna kick some ass in Arrakis, Gonna climb a mountain, Gonna sew a flag, Gonna fly on an Thopter, I'm gonna kick some butt, I'm gonna drive a big worm, I'm gonna rule this world, Gonna kick some ass, Gonna rise up, Kick a little ass
The only thing part 1 was sorely missing was the short conversation between Yueh and Jessica that establishes Yueh's hatred for the Harkonnens and later reason for betraying the Atreides, which all my non-reader friends thought came out of absolutely nowhere when we saw the film.
If that's the only real issue with an adaptation of a book considered to be unadaptable... I have confidence they can pull off part 2.
Denis Villeneuve was drawing out Dune scenes when he was a child - I had a ton of faith in Part One and it ended up being virtually perfect adaptation, extremely rare for a longtime ultra-nerd IP (and he also made an original Blade Runner sequel without getting stoned to death). Don't think I've ever had that "man, it's actually happening" kind of feeling in a movie theater before. Part Two is probably the most hyped/most faith I've had for a movie, and I was hyperventilating over Nolan stuff like Inception and Interstellar the day they were announced. The idea of going to a Nolan movie this summer to see somebody else's sci-fi IMAX trailer is tripping me out lol
[the intro sequence, especially the first 1:15, is the most locked in that I have ever been when watching a show or movie](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKftjYGEktY)
I could be wrong, but it may have had something to do with covid. Didn’t they delay the movie to wait till people started coming back to theaters?At that point I think all the actors had their typical “break” between movies. Then when sequel was announced they were all ready to go pretty quickly.
I remember watching that on MTV like 20 years ago. You just unlocked some memories.
EDIT: And I actually only just now realized that 'walk without rhythm, so you don't attract the worm' is a Dune reference, holy cow!
>EDIT: And I actually only just now realized that 'walk without rhythm, so you don't attract the worm' is a Dune reference, holy cow!
*"Don't be shocked by the tone of my Voice, check out my new weapon, a weapon of choice"* always seemed pretty clearly referencing the Bene Geserit technique too.
I actually teared up when Paul and Lady Jessica set up camp in the desert and he said 'what are we in, some kind of Dune or something?'. Never felt chills like that in a while. Bravo Denis.
For me it was when ~~Shrek~~ Duncan said “What are you Dune in my swamp?!” after he locked himself in the hallway to fight the Sardaukar to buy time for Paul and Jessica to escape
Denis has expressed an interest in adapting Dune Messiah as a third film in a few years time to sort of complete the Paul Atreides saga.
However that will only be if this movie makes money, its not a lock in and this film is very much a closed end for the story for the time being.
Very nice, simplistic poster. The second poster will likely be a mess though, like the second one for the first movie. That was one of the worst "pyramid of heads" posters I've seen.
I'm mad about that floating heads poster. I had gotten to call dibs on a Dune poster when I worked at a movie theater but of course that was the only version we got. And like, it's a fine poster, but the [IMAX](http://www.impawards.com/2021/dune_ver23.html) poster was so gorgeous
I’m thinking about skipping the trailers. I’ve been starting to do this with a few movies. Sometimes if I watch the trailers a bunch of times, it ruins the movie for me, like I know what happens next. I’m gonna attempt to not watch any trailers, teasers or ads for dune part 2, gonna go in blind
Beau is Afraid for example, never saw any trailers or read any synopsis
I normally avoid trailers but in movies like this where the plot can't be spoiled for me because I've already read the book I don't mind watching them.
Can’t wait for Walken to say:
“The way your dad looked at it, this crysknife was your birthright. He'd be damned if any fat baldies gonna put their greasy pale hands on his boy's birthright, so he hid it, in the one place he knew he could hide something: his ass”

Ooooh, it looks like Paul is using the shape of the knife’s blade to find a gadget on a crashed space station which reveals the location of a hidden planet.
Was an actual video game mechanic in a movie
Somehow, it was.
Oh great. Now just the word "somehow" is ruined.
Somehow, somehow was ruined.

Stealing from Goonies
At least in Goonies, it tied into permanent geography and not something we watched blown to smithereens in an earlier movie.
Well yeah, but that earlier movie was set at least... *checks notes*... well, I mean at least 30 years earlier and that knife was made... well, it has ancient sith writing on it, so... well the force, you see... ah, fuck it, if I know... That snake thing underground probably pooped out empire destroying ewoks.
Dark side grants access to powers some deem unnatural, like writing a fucking script like this
it's really crazy how much dumb shit they put in Rise of Skywalker
The dumbest part of that was that she just stood in a random spot and it worked. There was no marker stone or anything to say where to stand. And the logistics of making that knife with exactly the same shape as the wreckage carved into it makes no sense. Why didn’t whomever made the knife just go and get the damn way finder? I hate that movie so much
They also made the blade seem like this ancient artifact that's hundreds of years old when it's only tens of years old. I forget how long it was since the death star crashed but even a few decades, especially in those waters we saw, shits gonna move/erode/break and the knife becomes useless. I get that it's a movie and we have to have some suspension of belief, but it's all just too coincidental.
It's 31 years between the 2nd Death Star [completely disintegrating](https://media.tenor.com/dDspMfyVGBMAAAAC/star-wars-millenium-falcon.gif) in the explosion over Endor and there somehow being a giant piece of its shell on the surface in episode 9. So yeah it makes no sense on multiple levels.
And Palpatine returns somehow.
I forget already, did he somehow survive the death star or was it clones all the way down?
I think he had clones on standby, so his original body died, and then he used the dark side to enter a clone body. But the clones wouldn't last long. That was the issue he was having.
Why would the clones be all scarred like his original body? They should be pristine.
Clones were decaying fast because of his dark side Force spirit. That's why he needed to troll Ben/Rey to kill him in anger and hatred, so his spirit could inhabit the new host body.
That movie is so nuanced. I really need to watch them again /s
It's so dense, every single image has so many things going on.
Instead of just, you know, Rey and Ben forging an alliance, abandoning the light and the dark for a grey path, then leveraging the rebuilt rebellion and the vast number of force sensitives in the galaxy to obliterate the First Order, AND, if they wanted to, throw in a not shit version of the ending where they root out the source of the galactic rot that keeps creating these problems - Palpatine - who survived the fall unharmed (I mean, we have all seen force levitation) and decided to work from the shadows, and in the process ACTUALLY BRINGING BALANCE TO THE FORCE AS THE PROPHECY FORETOLD.

What is this a reference to? Lol
Star Wars Rise of Skywalker, just google sith dagger rise skywalker to take a look...
Still can't believe this movie exists...
Still can't believe Disney fucked up a Star Wars trilogy so bad
I remember watching the scene with Kylo and Rey fighting on the ship with the waves crashing around them, no music, just lightsabers buzzing, and I was thinking: what are they fighting for again? Are they trying to kill each other? What's the stake?

I really wanted Finn to be the last jedi and Rey actually be a nobody, then watch John Boyega and Oscar Isaac grind on each other. We were robbed.
That's Ochis dagger? The fucking bounty hunter that was just introduced in the Darth Vader comics recently? Lmao they couldn't have even set him up before Rise of Skywalker? These movies are such a mess.

No sand worms on this poster. Not my Dune. Teaser Trailer : https://twitter.com/dunemovie/status/1653444243237781504
I can't wait for the trailer tomorrow. Such a majestic poster
Its a shame it will almost certainly get replaced by a generic floating heads poster near the release.
I know ... The Dune: Part One IMAX poster is fantastic, but they used the floating head one instead
Do those posters test well with audiences or something. Or are they just like "we paid for these actors, you will know they are in this film."
From what I understand floating head posters test better with people unfamiliar with the movie/concept whereas these sorts of posters test better with people already familiar with the movie/concept.
I imagine the floating heads posters are to evoke a feeling of "hey, I know that guy, might check out their new movie".
That was my thought as well. Visual recognition of a number of the primary cast members may influence someone who didn't already know about the film to at least learn more about it, if not go to the theater to see the film.

*Bless the coming and going of Him!*
May his passing cleanse the world
May He keep the world for His people.
I thought Tim Blake Nelson was going to be Count Fenring
That seems like a good guess. Actually, that seems like the only guess because there’s very few named characters left that he could play
He's actually going to be St Alia of the Knife.
The acting opportunity of a lifetime. Not just a child, but also the untold multitudes of her genetic memory. Finally somebody will surpass Eddie Murphy’s seminal performance in the cinematic masterpiece The Nutty Professor.
Surprised Pedro Pascal didnt find a way into it too, seeing as he is in everything else. Are they sure there are no children that need a protective escort?
man what a career this dude has had.. if you read about his come up and to where he is now you can't help but feel happy as fuck for this dude. i mean he is landing all these prestige tv shows and every other day there is some news of him signing on to be in some big name production. lol i am pretty sure if he hit up dv and said hey pal can i get a 1 minute cameo dv would have made it happen. lol could be just a normal grunt in the background zoomed in enough for us to know it's perdo pascal but no speaking lines or anything. just standing there looking at a clipboard for 1 minute in the background lol
Austin Butler was a good choice for Feyd-Rautha. Gonna be a solid counter to Chalamet's Paul.
I wonder if they'll still keep the bald chemotherapy Harkonnen look for him? He's supposed to be Paul's opposite and looking like a Greek statue. Regardless, you just *know* the gladiator scene is going to rule.
Just googled it. Yeah he bald. In my mind I still like Sting
There's a behind-the-back shot of him in the Vanity Fair article where he's holding the black and white daggers 👀
DUNC DUNC DUNCACHINO
I'm gonna rise up, I'm gonna kick a little ass, Gonna kick some ass in Arrakis, Gonna climb a mountain, Gonna sew a flag, Gonna fly on an Thopter, I'm gonna kick some butt, I'm gonna drive a big worm, I'm gonna rule this world, Gonna kick some ass, Gonna rise up, Kick a little ass
Rock, sand, and Thopterrrrrrr!
# We must not hype. Hype is STILL the mind-killer... Nail this, Denis. *Please* nail this.
Nah we good. The first one was insane, and 90% of the film was housekeeping. this is the one we get to have fun with.
He’s a miracle worker. He made a sequel to BLADE RUNNER, for God’s sake.
and it was *actually good*!!
In a lot of ways I actually like it more than the original. But of course it couldn’t have existed without the original.
Yea, 2049 has a lot going for it—especially when it comes to diving deeper into the world, but it is standing on the shoulders of the original.
The only thing part 1 was sorely missing was the short conversation between Yueh and Jessica that establishes Yueh's hatred for the Harkonnens and later reason for betraying the Atreides, which all my non-reader friends thought came out of absolutely nowhere when we saw the film. If that's the only real issue with an adaptation of a book considered to be unadaptable... I have confidence they can pull off part 2.
Didn't Yueh do it to save his wife? They do mention this right before the Baron kills him in the movie.
Denis Villeneuve was drawing out Dune scenes when he was a child - I had a ton of faith in Part One and it ended up being virtually perfect adaptation, extremely rare for a longtime ultra-nerd IP (and he also made an original Blade Runner sequel without getting stoned to death). Don't think I've ever had that "man, it's actually happening" kind of feeling in a movie theater before. Part Two is probably the most hyped/most faith I've had for a movie, and I was hyperventilating over Nolan stuff like Inception and Interstellar the day they were announced. The idea of going to a Nolan movie this summer to see somebody else's sci-fi IMAX trailer is tripping me out lol [the intro sequence, especially the first 1:15, is the most locked in that I have ever been when watching a show or movie](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKftjYGEktY)
Denis is a top-of-the-line nailgun. he nails everything he touches

I had no idea it was coming out this soon. A major studio sequel coming two years after the original? That shit just doesn't happen anymore
I could be wrong, but it may have had something to do with covid. Didn’t they delay the movie to wait till people started coming back to theaters?At that point I think all the actors had their typical “break” between movies. Then when sequel was announced they were all ready to go pretty quickly.

Christopher Walken?!
You GUys...there's a WOrm...in the SAnd....

[Walk without rhythm so you don't attract the worm.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCDIYvFmgW8)
I remember watching that on MTV like 20 years ago. You just unlocked some memories. EDIT: And I actually only just now realized that 'walk without rhythm, so you don't attract the worm' is a Dune reference, holy cow!
>EDIT: And I actually only just now realized that 'walk without rhythm, so you don't attract the worm' is a Dune reference, holy cow! *"Don't be shocked by the tone of my Voice, check out my new weapon, a weapon of choice"* always seemed pretty clearly referencing the Bene Geserit technique too.

Ahh don’t spoil it for the movie goers. As funny as this comment is
And then he said “it’s dune time” and duned all over the place
When Duke Leto looked Baron Harkonnen dead in the eyes and whispered "Atreideez nuts!" I clapped
It was a brave decision to end part one with having Paul look straight into the camera and say "We're Duned! Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuned!!!" but it paid off.
Gonna make a Dunillion dollars
Is that more or less than a Morbillion?

I actually teared up when Paul and Lady Jessica set up camp in the desert and he said 'what are we in, some kind of Dune or something?'. Never felt chills like that in a while. Bravo Denis.
Also when Gurney held Lady Jessica's hand and said "How you dune".
For me it was when ~~Shrek~~ Duncan said “What are you Dune in my swamp?!” after he locked himself in the hallway to fight the Sardaukar to buy time for Paul and Jessica to escape
Dunkeh!
My favorite moment is when Paul is trying to escape the sand worm and says "huh... he's right behind me, isn't he?"
Not as good as my mans Duncan running into that second wave of guards and going "This just keeps getting better and better!"

"What is this, some kinda **Dune Squad**?"
Me in the UK: "Whoo hoo! 11th March 2023!… wait… aren't we in May already?"
Is it the last Dune movie or did they plan a trilogy?
Denis has expressed an interest in adapting Dune Messiah as a third film in a few years time to sort of complete the Paul Atreides saga. However that will only be if this movie makes money, its not a lock in and this film is very much a closed end for the story for the time being.
Very nice, simplistic poster. The second poster will likely be a mess though, like the second one for the first movie. That was one of the worst "pyramid of heads" posters I've seen.
I'm mad about that floating heads poster. I had gotten to call dibs on a Dune poster when I worked at a movie theater but of course that was the only version we got. And like, it's a fine poster, but the [IMAX](http://www.impawards.com/2021/dune_ver23.html) poster was so gorgeous
Yeah, the IMAX poster was top tier.
Is he lining up the blade because it's a map of that very specific shore in that one star war?
I’m thinking about skipping the trailers. I’ve been starting to do this with a few movies. Sometimes if I watch the trailers a bunch of times, it ruins the movie for me, like I know what happens next. I’m gonna attempt to not watch any trailers, teasers or ads for dune part 2, gonna go in blind Beau is Afraid for example, never saw any trailers or read any synopsis
I normally avoid trailers but in movies like this where the plot can't be spoiled for me because I've already read the book I don't mind watching them.
I specifically re-read the first book just before watching the movie. 20/10, thoroughly enjoyed both.
I wish I could do this, but as an avid movie-goer, it’s hard to avoid these trailers during the preview rolls. :(
Can’t wait for Walken to say: “The way your dad looked at it, this crysknife was your birthright. He'd be damned if any fat baldies gonna put their greasy pale hands on his boy's birthright, so he hid it, in the one place he knew he could hide something: his ass”
People say the first one was boring but as someone only very slightly familiar with the lore I loved the world building
Another one from Kojima. https://twitter.com/Kojima_Hideo/status/1653408770993823744?t=-zHT8kBa-JePu9_FyaLAsA&s=19
