For a movie has big as Dune , building anticipation must be like a domino effect, getting bigger and bigger with each marketing move. While an official full trailer will hit September 9th (Although a 90-second trailer has begun airing with Tenet in cinemas globally), for now it's down to photo marketing. This is why, immediately following the release of custom covers for Empire magazine (See them here), more photos have been released today by that publication for the film. In them, several of the main characters are put on display although still no major set pieces or action scenes are revealed, no doubt being saved for reveal in the trailer. Check the photos out below which contain brief descriptions of what's in each photo:
Dune stars Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Zendaya, David Dastmalchian, Chang Chen, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, Charlotte Rampling, Jason Momoa, and Javier Bardem. It is directed by Denis Villeneuve (Who co-wrote the script with Jon Spaihts and Eric Roth). It is set to be released in theaters on December 18th.
@Rambo: Hmm. Well at this point I must remain objective for the sake of the site’s integrity. By all means, message me and we’ll talk shop.
I seem to remember we shared some similar thoughts about some of the actors...but while you were worried about just 1 or 2 actors I was worried about 4 or 5.
@Rambo: I agree and I suspect we’re talking about the same actor choices (You may message me on the Wix all to confirm to make sure we’re on the same page).
It is a very challenging project,no doubt, Director has proven himself to be reliable and consistent, however what still worries me are some of the casting choices.
@Rambo: The uniforms are good. My issue is wondering how they will pull off the more cerebral elements of the book. “Dune” is incredibly dense and I hope they were able to do what “Lord of the Rings” did and managed to remove material that doesn’t push the narrative forward while retaining the unique characteristics of the story. I have high hopes given the director in question already made an impressive science fiction debut with “Blade Runner 2049”. If anyone can handle it, he can.
