Count me in as being intrigued as well--and without the mouse-house logo on the packaging and WB instead, it's an intrigue that goes without the reservations that would come from a Disney-owned product.
Visually it looks solid--and I enjoyed the director's take on Blade Runner. So cautiously optimistic...

I'm a big fan of the Dune book series and I also really liked Blade Runner 2049, so I'm certainly looking forward to this movie.
I just want a movie based on a book that isn't awful.

The Sci Fi Channel did a pretty good job, albeit with limited resources.
Looks like a Young Adult novel movie...
The actors are great, but where the hell is Shadam...
Looking forward to this as well. It's certainly got style and it looks like a faithful adaptation. I want to see how they go about adapting the politics and the philosophy without the novel's introspection.
Also, there's a blink and you'll miss it moment in the trailer where Pink Floyd lyrics are quoted. "All that you touch, and all that you see." They're the opening lines from the song Eclipse. It's a very strange inclusion, but a good one.

Ok. I watched the trailer on my computer and now I feel like a dunce. It's not a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment. The whole song is sung throughout the trailer. And as Scott Lowther pointed out, Pink Floyd was originally supposed to do the music for the original Dune movie before that deal fell through. That's a really neat connection.

This is the only film I'm looking forward to this year. Since I love Dune so much, and since it would be so easy to mess it up, I've been wary from the start (even though I like Villeneuve's work a lot), but this trailer gives me a very good feeling. Whatever they're going to show us with this film, it's definitely going to be spectacular.

It's worth a watch. His film would have been absolutely insane, and would certainly not have pleased anyone who wanted a film faithful to the book. But as an artistic project, it would have been spectacular.

The 1984 is fucking awesome. Really. It's on the same level as Stallone's Judge Dredd. It should be obligatory viewing at all schools.

The Special effect are poorly done even considering its age and the acting was so so. I will say the costumes and other set choices where well done. Not to mention they chose a good sound track.

Objectively speaking, it has a casual relation to the books; yes, the special effects are more like special defects, and agree on the sound track. But the end result is so campy that it's hilarious.

I think that it never crossed that line for me. The movie took itself to seriously for me to be a campy cult classic. For me movies that a campy fun should be more like Sharkando. Ones that know what they are and do not try to be something else.

Ah, I see where we disagree. For me, part of the reason it is so hilarious is the fact it takes itself seriously.
