Him, Nolan, and Fincher are arguably the best 3 directors alive today

I agree with you, but I think the first tier a little larger than three. 

For this genre, they are masters.

The sandworms produce the Spice, which permits Navigators to transmit matter at faster than light movement through time. 

The Navigators are Spice junkies. They float in spice. They move matter through time when they binge on spice. 

Add Game of Thrones tension to this mix and ancient philosophical questions and one has the Dune Universe. 

This universe cannot exist with the Spice and the Sandworms that produce it.

Herbert was correct - It's a story about worms.

Before he wrote the book he took a trip to look at sand dunes in Oregon and wrote a non-fiction story about their ecology but no magazine would even print it.

A couple tracks from the score were dripped out this week

That's what never made sense to me, there's only 1 place in the universe to get spice ok. How the fuck did they get there in the first place without the spice?

Travelling between planets was possible before Spice. Spice just allows those who use massive doses to see patches in the future allowing them to steer a ship at light speed without crashing. This allows for a faster transit of goods.

The trailer doesn't feel like anything from the Lynch movie and the dialogue seems nothing like the book. These are both good things

Before the war to eliminate the machine overlords, humans in the Dune Universe had computers that allowed them to travel faster than light.  The spice eliminated the dependence on computers for faster than light travel.

The thinking machines were purged, which gave the Spacing Guild  monopoly control of FTL travel.

Dune movie starts 10,190 years later after the establishment of the Spacing Guild and the elimination of the machine threat.

If the movie makes a shitload of money, and if a bunch of people watch the Bene Gesserit series on HBO Max, then it'll become their MCU, and we'll have a half-a-dozen TV series delving into the human vs machine overlord wars, the rise of the Spacing Guild, etc.

Brian Herbert will be diving into a Scrooge McDuck vault filled with gold.

That's got to be a Warner Brothers issue - it infects their comic book movie trailers as well.

not trying to be a nitpicking asshole cause most everyone should know the story, BUT got damned if that trailer didn't show most of the gotdamned movie. i loved the trailer but damn, leave some seduction and mystery.

I mean it's Dune...you already know what's going to happen.  We just hope to see a better version of it.

The entire damned thing is impossible to find for some reason.  You can watch the Dune Miniseries(and Children of dune) in bad format on Youtube with commercials and shit...and I can get the DVD's from my mom.  But I can't for the live of me find any of it Blu Ray....I actually enjoyed the SciFi(that was on purpose) Dune.  Not perfect, but decently done.

There will be some significant changes and artistic license taken with the film coming out in October.

SciFi > SyFy, but yeah, they've been shit when it comes to a lot of things in Blu-ray.  There's probably companies out there that would love to convert a lot of their stuff to BR, and would do the clean-up/upscaling/whatever that is needed for a cut of the profits.

But be careful what you wish for.  

I've been waiting 15 fucking years for Brotherhood of the Wolf to come out on BR in Region 1 (so I don't have to mess with my player) and they finally release it a few weeks ago and they fucking release it with shit English subtitles.

Of course, I don't need subtitles when a hot-ass nude Monica Bellucci is on the screen.

Searching for DVDs? Waiting for Blu-Ray disk releases (BDs use letters for regions, not numbers)? What fucking year is this?

The Children of Dune mini series is available to stream on the Hoopla app.  You need to have a local library account that you use to log in to the app and then you can "check out" each episode. I don't know if all libraries work with Hoopla. 

The movie is going to approach some of the issues in the book differently. Homosexuality, the environmental movement, gender issues, lots of stuff. The special effects and costumes and set design from the previous efforts were just terrible. The sand worms from the Lynch movie were lifted up with little strings, other effects shots were done in the parking lot of a soccer stadium in Mexico City.

Okay, the premieres and festival and critic screenings have started and the reviews are starting to be printed with just one stinker guy saying the film isn't that good.

 

One of the three soundtrack albums was posted to youtubz this week too.

 

 

Okay, I streamed the first full soundtrack album and there is a track titled "Mind Killer" that stands out with some crazy techno noises, a nearly off beat thumping noise, multiple layers of textures like guys chanting in the background, and overall psychedelic vibe to it.
