Quick note, the few old shots, when he’s sitting in the sand or working and speaking French, or the “terre des hommes” film, that’s from a tv show airing in the 1990s on French CBC (Radio-Canada). It was called “la course” (the race), where a whole generation of young kids (Villeneuve, but so many other who became filmmakers) went around the world with a camcorder to shoot films in a different location every week, sending back the tapes through mail (!!) with an editing plan for a film to be edited remotely by someone else and presented on national television and noted/commented by Quebec film critics and filmmakers. I was from 12 to 19-ish, it was my favorite show, I learned more about the state of the world and about cinema with this show than with any of my school courses...

originally, it was called “La Course autour du monde” (The Race around the World) 1976 - 1984, featuring young francophone directors with the participation of Radio-Canada, Antenne 2 (France) , RTL (Luxembourg) and TSR (Switzerland). It was spun off later by Radio-Canada as La course des Amériques, Amériques Afrique, Europe Asie and Course destination Monde (1988 - 1999)- Also one of my favourite programs throughout my 12 to 30 + years.

Secrets of Dune I saw the movie the other day. To say this is a dream project of Villeneuve's is an understatement. I saw in his Dune imagery and moments that made me think of not just Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 but also Prisoners (the corpse of a man hidden in a dark hiding place) and Enemy (the out-of-nowehre appearence of a creepy spider-like entity) and of course Denis' fascination with deserts. I hope that Part Two gets made and that we get to see the rest of what is a beautifully haunting and intimately epic culmination of Villeneuve's projects and creativity.

Tha way that Deni talks about DUNE makes my hype meter skyrocketing. It's just feels right.

Villeneuve is the chosen one. It is the legend.

His track record speaks for itself. Denis is one of the best directors active today, and I can't think of anyone else I'd rather have doing a project like this than him.

So far the still images looks as impressive as they can get, it only is getting better and better. Thanks for this wonderful little video essay, that clip at the beginning with Denis sitting on the sand and smiling gave me chills, almost cried, very inspiring considering what we know what he is doing right now.

I think Villeneuve is one of my favorite directors of recent history between the arrival and bladerunner 2049. The way he is talking about the project and the projects and people he reference and even some of the cast greatly reassure me that even if his vision of dune differs from mine, it should prove to be an excellent one.

Great video. Villeneuve's adaptation will be nothing short of magnificent. You can tell that this is someone who understands the essence of Frank Herbert's work. I have no doubt that he will give us the best adaptation yet.

Anyways, seeing HOW MUCH passion Villeneuve is putting into this, and his enormous talent in Arrival and Blade Runner, I really confident that this man will deliver the best movie of the last 10 years.

Herbert did such a wonderful job by allowing the reader to create the images. Really looking forward to seeing this interpretation.

You know what makes a timeless movie? It's not a flawless movie. It's a movie that people adore the flaws.

I'm very excited about Denis Villeneuve's work on DUNE. Villeneuve's strengths are in mood and atmosphere. Elements that are very important to a story like DUNE. I am also glad to hear that he won't try to accomplish the telling of DUNE in just one film. It's always been a belief of mine that, no matter what the source, any films that are based on a book should be told over multiple parts. There is just too much information in books to simplify to one movie. There aren't many films that excite me as much as what I anticipate in Villeneuve's DUNE. I think it will be an amazing event.

Grate clip.. Thanks for putting it together.

I have literally never been more hyped for any film, ever, and I would not allow myself that potential for disappointment if it wasn't this director at the helm.

He's gonna do a solid an amazing job on that remake, no doubt. Just look at his cinematographic portfolio, it's literally flawless.

The theme from David Lynch's DUNE belongs in the pantheon of the best film scores ever created. Every recreation of DUNE that doesn't include that score is missing a MAJOR element in my opinion. If I were making this film, I'd do everything possible to get the rights to that main score.

My opinion of Villeneuve's other films, and my gut-level response to them, tells me that I will not be disappointed when Dune finally comes to us.

That's interesting...the admission of becoming a traitor. An adaptation is also an interpretation and I'm glad that Denis is the one doing it.

The thing that makes me most hopeful for the quality of this movie is the complete lack of pre-merchandising and corporate promotion. No sensational shots of the sandworms, no "bare-knuckle thrill ride!!!" press blurbs. Just a few articles and carefully-monitored images. Just enough mystery to keep fans' mouths watering for more (me included). Maybe it's because Dune isn't a very well-known novel/series among Millenials, at least not mainstream, and the studio is hedging bets that it'll be a critically-acclaimed, but ultimately non-billion-dollar popcorn pablum release. This isn't like JJ's Star Wars...you'll need to bring your brain to this one, and I'm totally okay with that. Can't wait.

George Prince explain your self, big claims requires big explanations, show me you have better taste and talents than those guys doing the blade runner 2049

step by step I am more confident and I do agree with Denis's speech. First a single movie is not enough to see each world in details. Second, the film must be an interpretation of Denis's of the Frank Herbert's novel thus it has to be slightly different from the book this is what I expect from him. As we know, each fan has his own interpretation. Awaiting the first trailer !!

Denis Villeneuve is undoubtedly one of the best directors of his generation and is gifted with clarity of vision and intent that allows him to be brave enough to confront himself with the significative legacy of other huge artists, writers and directors alike. It is not common and it is remarkable. I love David Lynch and when his Dune came out I happened to watch it in the theatre...but I was 8 and didn't know the first thing about what I was going to see or even Lynch himself. I ended up in that cinema with my parents by mere chance, following another family with an older son. I was struck and unsettled to say the least, it was like i just had a nightmare, but a fascinating one. Although I watched it in its entirety only once again later, its incredible atmosphere stayed in my mind untouched and it's the thing that makes me love that movie. I am now 44 and I am about to read Dune for the first time in my life (I know! I bought myself a first edition - in italian, 1973 - for the occasion :) ), preparing myself a bit better in order to watch and enjoy Villeneuve's creation as much as I can. What do I expect from him? I already know he will do a good if not great job, but I really hope to find an atmosphere as new as original and strong in his film as Lynch was able to imbue his work with. I don't just want to watch a very well crafted, terrific movie, I would love a...new paradigm! I love that Herbert liked Lynch's rendition because i think he knew Lynch was sincere and gave it everything he could and nailed some elements that were essential to his book and to his writing. So I know it'll be completely different this time around, of course, as the 'auteur' is very different, the means are different, but I hope it's going to be a film able to leave a mark (in the collective memory and imagination) in an unprecedented way as well. Otherwise I'll consider it a lost occasion.

Looking forward to seeing this film.

I feel completely great about this movie being in the hands of Villeneuve's Dune. I think he's gathered the best actors for the jobs they are in, it was a little strange seeing Duncan Idaho played by Jason because I've always thought of Duncan as a white role but I'm not mad about it in this case because I know that Jason does good work especially in movies that demand so much of him. He's done great works on DC SG etc, he's portrayed these people well.

i'm pretty sure Duncan was always described as being an islander with dark complexion and black hair, so an islander with dark complexion and black hair like Jason Momoa who can also handle a sword quite well (see his work in StarGate Atlantis) is quite a perfect pick. It would be interesting to watch his performance as Hayt if we ever get to see the sequels, that cold philosophical ghola would be a real challenge.

Although the fremen are diverse because they're humans just like any other human group in Dune most of the fremen are described as Olive pale skin though not so much black or brown. I know it's kind of hard to imagine very light skinned people in the desert in the special real life but the thing is they did and do exist in real life in massive numbers. The Persians for example we're huge group of Middle Eastern desert dwellers that were lighter skin than your typical Greek or Macedonian who are Europeans. Even today the syrians and Iranians have very light skinned to a point where when they moved to America and they simulate you cannot tell them apart from a regular white American. Then you have another desert group people who most of them have light skin call the Berbers who inherits most of North Africa including the African desert.

Some people see what they want to see unfortunately. It was obvious when in the video above, Villaneuve mentions the cover and says there was a black face with blue eyes, then you see the cover and clearly see how he is blinded by something because it very clearly is not black. Anyway, if you're worried about it, just remember that a 'white guy' (Muad'dib) becomes the 'savior' to these 'brown people', so I doubt white people will have much to complain about here

@@kardsufur2966 I'm not surprised but it's also a French cover and I don't know where is with the French at least a liberal ones in big cities they have a fascination with black people. They're just like anybody else they're human beings just like anybody else I don't know what is with the fascination is with Hollywood & the French with that? No it's just he ignored it or it seems like he ignored the description or seem to ignore the description of the Fremens, it sem to be important for Frank Herbert I guess since he put more description about them than other groups of people in Dune. I'm not saying there isn't any brown or black Fremen of course a couple of them are but the bulk of them is what I said they look like Persians and Berbers. My problem is they do this with everything, to a point where they get a historical movie or show even in Britain where they had ancient Greek Achilles and Zeus as Black men. Like WTF! It doesn't make any sense whatsoever especially the fact that how the Greeks describe Zeus and achilles which is completely opposite this Greeks described Achilles as white skin as sand with gold hair & blue eyes as the sky. They even had Joan of Arc as a black woman! They don't just do it with fiction they do with historical figures too. It's just really annoying, don't get me wrong I'll be just as pissed if they did a remake of Matrix and then they replace Morpheus with an Asian woman! They'll get my gears really grinding. I noticed some people doesn't seem very important but we make a story a lot of this is pretty important especially making a believable story or a serious one. Know what I mean by that it's like it just certain things wouldn't make sense for example you wouldn't see all Japan who is a leader of the Italian mafia as a black man or an Asian dude you wouldn't see Shaka Zulu being played as a blonde guy or a Mexican those things wouldn't make sense well it's the same thing with fiction but the difference is the author that created the world building in fiction so everything can fall in place together.

@@kardsufur2966 Liet Kynes may not been a super important character but the way I see he's a minor character with a very important role. The guy just pulled Lawrence of Arabia that's an extremely important role. Like Lawrence of Arabia and not very many people know about him during World War 1 but did some crazy stuff but it's because the story is not about him. It just doesn't make sense to me especially when you read about fremen culture. Some cultures see blonde hair or something Mystikal and the fact is Liet Kynes is described with blonde hair. Sure you park in a way with replacing ethnicity wise fine but gender swap on that? Let me cut it short there's there's a reason why 99% in time we sent a man to negotiate with Afghanistan leaders were there Taliban or not, you sent a woman officer I'm pretty sure it's not going to go very well.

So please explain to me how that's supposed to work in the movie. Zendaya will have a full black mother mixed with an "arabic" fremen father? Not sure if Zendaya looks like the offspring of such a pair

@@kardsufur2966 on the book it does say he has blonde hair, more pacifically dirty blonde hair. Basically when it says he has Sandy hair it's basically kind of like a dirty blonde. Now depends on the Fremen there are darker Framing and they are black Fremen as well but the bulk of them are not that way though. Most Fremen resemble Persians, Turks, and Berbers who in the real world most are very very very light skin and desert people especially the Persians such as Iranians and Syrians for example. And I think the Persians are that way is because they really cover themselves up and they did travel the desert a lot during night time for what I understand just like most of the Fremen do in the novel. But yeah the Fremen are supposed to resemble all of those cultures including Arabs, not just Arabs that's what people misunderstand. In the Dune Universe it does indicate all factions do have minorities I mean that's a given. Example not all Harkonnens are going to be red hair, you going to have some that are blonde you can have some little black hair going to have some just resemble black Africans or Asians; the same with thing with every faction they all have different groups of people but the bulk of them they all have a majority ethnic group kind of like Nations today.

The new Dune movie gives me hope

Can't wait!

I can't wait to see it. I love the book.

As an avid reader of anything that was written by F Herbert or his son as a prequel, follow up or in anyway connected to Dune, I can tell that I could see this day coming, when someone will take this book to heart and do a proper job of it, it's one of the hardest books ever to put on the big screen, hence all the ones that tried have failed in one way or another, the short David Lynch movie is a great attempt in my view (I know he hates it, don't know why) but it's too short to even scratch the surface of the complex universe that's so skillfully depicted in Dune, not even going as far as the follow ups ..... in my view God emperor of dune being the most complex and beautiful but in the same way the hardest to actually visualize successfully. Fact is they are running out of ideas for new movies, and if it means digging in the library to find ideas, who am I to object ? If they put half the effort in this that the film-makers put in the Lord of the Rings, then they might just get something really really impressive out of it, but I would say that this is something that can surpass any fiction or science fiction movie that has been made to the day, if done right and not shy of investing and going the length.

Me: Still waiting for a God Emperor of Dune movie...
