    His early film Incendies is excellent as well.
    Incendies is fantastic. What a gut punch.

    I will watch anything Villeneuve puts his name to. I'm concerned because Blade Runner 2049 was a masterpiece and it didn't find an audience. I fear Dune will suffer from the same fate. The trailer is going to have to make it look like a superhero film to get mainstream audiences interested.

    You made a few good points. Both Bladerunners were not given their due upon release. Time will tell on 2049. Such a fantastic movie. To be able to follow up Ridley Scott and pull it off. . . ! Wow.

    Agree on Incendies!

    Yes, it will have to be marketed as an action spectacle first, political sci-fi tale second. I'm not opposed to it if it means getting more butts in the seats and guaranteeing a sequel.

    That's not how I would market it. I would market it has a love story. You have every female's wet dream Timothee Chalamet in the film, you have to use that. Get those female butts in the seats first. Everyone else will come for the action.

    If there’s anything that will finally get me back into a theater it’s this. I just re-watched Blade Runner 2049 this past weekend and it reinforced my feeling that they have the perfect director for the material. I haven’t been this excited and hopeful for a film adaptation since The Lord of the Rings.

    2049 is a masterpiece.

    I want to watch this teaser, but I don't want to watch it! So conflicted.

    It's not really even a teaser. It's a thirty-second announcement that the first trailer drops tomorrow.

    Oh, good! For some reason, I thought it dropped already. It was supposed to play before Tenet.

    ok.... wasn't blown away BUT I am not familiar with the books. Denis is one of my fav directors today... him and Nolan. BUT question for Dune fans. Is this a stand alone film OR a trilogy? Did you like/love the trailer?

    It's supposed to be part one of two. Wasn't blown away either, but I wasn't expecting it to be Star Wars or Avengers level trailer. This is subdued and elegant, as it should be.

    Being a huge fan of the books I think it looks amazing. Everything looks almost exactly like I imagined it and the tone seems perfect for what little they show. I remain confident that Villeneuve is going to knock it out of the park. Mae says it perfectly, “subdued and elegant.” This is not and should not be Avengers or Star Wars.

    No it def should not be Avengers or Star Wars. Because it isn't. Trying to re-create either of those that would have been silly BUT it didn't have an 'epic' feel. Like those movies OR say... Lord Of The Rinds. I have total faith in Denis V but it really lacked for me.... so it is good to hear others thoughts on what they say as well.

    For me Dune has always felt very subdued (yet still incredibly engaging and interesting) as all the pieces are moving on the game board so to speak but when they all fall into place is when my mind has been blown in an epic way. Mostly felt this during books 1, 3, and 5.

    So they are condensing all these books into two movies? That even possible?

    No, this first movie is half of book 1. They decided to film the two halves of the first book separately. It should work well as there is a distinct separation in the novel between the two halves. Quite a bit of time passes between them.
