Not a single blue eye in the bunch?

And individual posters. Who's the dumb  who approved the name over the face, instead of up top?

Your images are all direct links via a cloudfront hosted service, so they ain't showing up (at least won't show up for large chunk of people)

So don't upload them directly to the boards?

If you uploaded them via the drag & drop menu (or locally off your PC) it will be an issue with this site so I wouldn't worry about it, but if you used Other Media and used insert from URL then that is an issue with the actual host of those images (so due to SSL security mixing they don't show up in all browsers and computers.)

Now how do we fix this ever bewildering search engine that at times can't even detect threads 1-2 pages back?

That sort of sorcery is beyond any mortals ability.

On Monday morning, Warner Bros did something cool. Journalists all over North America were invited to a special presentation of Denis Villeneuve's DUNE, with the general idea being that we would see the new trailer, which comes out tomorrow and indeed is quite impressive. But, instead, there were cheers in the IMAX auditorium when it was revealed that we'd be watching the first ten minutes of the movie, as well as an extended action scene from later in the film - all optimized to the IMAX format.

 

First thing's first - if ever a movie was meant for the big screen, Villeneuve's adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune is it. While the film is still scheduled for a simultaneous HBO Max release on October 22nd, anyone who wants to experience what Villeneuve is pouring his heart and soul into needs to see this on the big screen and an IMAX screen if at all possible. The movie now carries the official, on-screen title, Dune: Part 1, and indeed if we want to see a Part 2 made, we need to get out and support it in theaters. 

 

At any rate, here's a rundown of the footage - although, of course, there are some SPOILERS for the first ten minutes. Still with me? Good!

 

So the movie starts with a prologue on Arrakis narrated by Zendaya's Chani. First, she gives us a brief history of the Harkonnen family's tyrannical rule and their war with the Fremen. Next, we see some brief glimpses of action in the full IMAX ratio before segueing to Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) having a vision of Chani in his sleep. We learn he's been having dreams for months. At the same time, his mother, Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson), continues his training in the Bene Gesserit technique "The Voice," which is conveyed excitingly through a combination of silence and bass. 

 

We then learn Duke Leto (Oscar Isaac) is being sent to Arrakis with his family to take over from the Harkonnens. We see Leto, with Isaac having tons of gravitas, as well as Josh Brolin's Gurney Halleck, the Leto family's badass protector. We also get a glimpse of Thufir Hawat (Stephen McKinley Henderson) before the footage wraps up. From there, we saw the trailer that comes out tomorrow, which introduces us to Jason Momoa's badass-looking Duncan Idaho, along with a taste of the footage we saw and some really cool action beats.

 

We then got a look at an extended action sequence from later in the first act, when Duke Leto and his son rescue spice miners. In the David Lynch film, this was a pretty brief moment, but here it's a massive IMAX-shot action sequence, which gives us the full effect of Greig Fraser's fantastic photography and Hans Zimmer's pounding score. A note on the score, in a brief interview featurette Zimmer mentioned wanting to stay away from traditional instruments as he tried to evoke the sounds of another world, meaning lots of percussion and vocals. The score, in many ways, sounds like something he intends to be his Magnum Opus and potentially a new classic for the venerable composer.

That trailer hit all the right buttons.

So good! 

The tech is bang on too, very happy to see the ornithopters looking like they do.
