I am spinning the original Toto DUNE.... I think I bought the record back in 1984... wow, that brings back memories.
just watched the trailer. Looks visually striking. I dunno guys, it looks like a terrific vehicle for Zimmer to be honest. I'd love for him to do mostly electronic with a bit of orchestral. Would be a cool return to form like his Rain Man and Black Rain days....

Just coming now to this thread, as this DUNE is perhaps along with Del Toro's Pinocchio the one unreleased movie I look most forward to. Ever since I first heard about it a few years ago. I like the original Frank Herbert book, but not the prior adaptations, they were terrible. Hope this cuts the mustard. Sure looks like it has the potential. This trailer contained the best minutes of DUNE I have ever seen filmed by anyone anywhere.

looks like they are following the book (which I love and read yearly). I hope so. I would love to see a definitive version of this story

Dune is probably the best book I've ever read in my life, but honestly I think it is too complex to be adapted to the screen. I saw the movie BEFORE I read the book and, boy, it was a mess. Zero sense, but the visuals were amazing, the cast was perfect, the music was nice and it made me want to read the book.
Most of the storyteling comes from the character's inner voices, which Lynch tried to resolve using multiple narrations with some success.
But beyond that we have what is a vastly complex political/phylosophical/regilious tale at its core, with ocasional batles and action, something the majority of the public is not able to understand and therefore doesn't want to see on a movie sold as an Star Wars kind of space opera fantasy.
I simply cannot see anyone adapt all that to the screen whitout harming the core of the story.

I was clicking through some soundscape presets in Logic and in so doing I accidentally played the entire scores to Dunkirk, Blade Runner 2049 and Dune all at once.
I even hit some pipe organ presets and accidentally played the score to Interstellar too.
Let me know if you’re interested in hearing them. I’ll tell you which menu to find them so you can play them on demand too.

Fantastic trailer. Can't wait to see this - although, unfortunately, I will have to wait until it hits home video. But Zimmer's score will hopefully be available before that.

Yes, this is all true, it will not be an easy feat to aptly film DUNE, but the thing is: I am willing to let the book be book and the film be film. If the movie on its own manages at least to get some of the scope and political/philosophical/religious aspects of the book woven into its fabric, I'd be happy. Reading a book is a more intellectual exercise than watching a movie, which is more visceral (of course, either is both, but we're talking tendencies here). But the equivalent is Peter Jackson's LORD OF THE RINGS, which transferred Tolkien's LORD OF THE RINGS adequately to the screen. Sure it changed and dropped some things and made a fantasy spectacle out of it, but the core was there and the movies worked on their own. If DUNE manages a similar feat, it would already be interesting. And it is already good that the movie is part of a two film project. Similarly to TLOTR, the makers decided that you just cannot cramp this story, even in streamlined movie form, into a single movie, and they are right. It is also reassuring that this is a proclaimed dream project of Villeneuve, who is a big fan of the book.

When I first heard of Villeneuve filming DUNE a couple of years ago, I had high hopes for the project. Now that I've seen the trailer, I still have high hopes, it looks very promising. I just hope and keep my fingers crossed that it will be profitable enough to warrant that the second film will be done accordingly. I mean, this is just DUNE, Part I, even though it is understandably not called that. But like THE LORD OF THE RINGS, it was decided that the material is too complex and unwieldy for a single movie, so it was always going to be two movies (at least two movies.. for the original novel DUNE, obviously there are prequel/sequel books as well, that may or may not be filmed one day, but we're just talking DUNE here.)
In any case, it's the movie I looked most forward to and behold, it is coming.

I'm looking forward to it too. But it's not a rollercoaster thrill ride like STAR WARS. It's a risky proposition at the best of times and needs to look ABSOLUTELY EXTRAORDINARY to turn a profit. This doesn't look exceptional and has already been filmed twice (the Lynch movie and a miniseries). So how did it get financed? It will almost certainly be a noble failure commercially.

I prefer a noble failure directed by Villeneuve over any disposable franchise series with the umpteenth superhero.
