"This fight's for you, Khaleesi." What a baller.

I must say, in the brief moments he was in the film. He brought a lot of humanity and warmth into his character. And his acting was so much better and natural to what he's doing. Great casting choice. Too bad we didn't get to see him find the Fremen and his interaction with them.

Cutting scenes is always most painful to the director. They often shoot amazing looking scenes that they are proud of, but if a scene doesn't serve the story, or disturbs the pacing it has to be let go of. But I too, hope that maybe there'll be an extended cut. :)

Denis Villeneuve has said the theatrical version is his director's cut. He said the only scene that was hard to cut was Josh Brolin singing as his character. Doesn't mean there won't be an extended edition, but Mr. Villeneuve talks about such things very differently than Peter Jackson did.

@@ruukaoz It’s also possible that some scenes just don’t turn out as good as they want once they’re shot and cut together, and they’re cut so as not to disrupt the quality of the film. It can be that problems with the writing become obvious, or the acting wasn’t as strong for whatever reason, or it can be technical problems, like you couldn’t get the angles/movement you wanted, or lighting didn’t come together, etc. Sometimes it’s nothing that an audience would even have a problem with, but as an artist, it just didn’t match your vision and would bother you if it was left in the film. This tends to be the case when a director says that the theatrical version is their Director’s Cut. Just because something was shot, doesn’t mean it would necessarily be good to put into the film, even for hardcore fans that want more and don’t care about pacing or focus. Some scenes just end up not being good, despite the best intentions. Maybe we can see those kind of scenes in a deleted scenes special feature on a Bluray release or something.

Seeing Jason Momoa exploring the red dunes of Wadi Rum in southern Jordan, brings back so many memories when I was there 2 years ago. The landscape is so vast and breath taking with these massive rock formations I have ever seen, nothing compares anywhere else on Earth. It feels like you are in a different planet, its no surprise it has been used as a background setting in a number of films in particular for science fiction movies like Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Prometheus, The Martian, Rogue One: A Star Wars story, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker & now DUNE.

Love when Jason gives a shout out to Daenerys Targaryen.

Definitely a beautiful world 🌍we live in

Man when Duncan kills like four guards and just looks at the rest like this thopter is mine now, and they just go with it, 🤣. The guards are like yeah that's cool

This film is 2 1/2 hours long but it is so good that it seems short because you’re left wanting more by the time credits roll. I know Denis said that the theatrical version IS the director’s cut, but I would’ve loved an extra hour of scenes that were cut. I doubt that it will happen but I’m hoping that part 2 will be 3 1/2 hours long at least. I doubt anyone will complain.

Of course, like a LOT of Dune fans, I had my doubts about Jason being in this film, but shit dude, you were the soul of this story. Well done.

best film for the past 5 years

the fighting scenes sold me on Jason Momoa as Duncan. absolutely brutal. no holds barred, no quarter given. Idaho is one of the top warriors of the universe in the books and JM absolutely delivers as a berserker who terrified the Harkonnens so much that they essentially gave him a 'thropter after taking down a couple of their men

Just saw dune, can't remember the scene where Duncan has a fight while playing bass though

What a beautiful word……100% agree with that statement. My younger years growing up on east coast surfing, drinking, doing drugs and partying everyday even during my first few years in military in the early 90s.. Then one trip while in Navy got to go mountain climbing with friends from Colorado and other parts of the country that I taught how to surf. And when we reached the top of those mountains and I looked over the land below and the rest of the mountain ranges and seeing all those other snow capped tops and the sky etc. was just so freaking Gorgeous. We had ran out of beer by our second day on my leave so the rest of our trip up the mountain was prob the first time beside boot camp that I was 100% sober since I was about 13years old moving out on my own as a kid. And it was then on top that mountain with my friends looking upon the beauty this world has to offer truly that I decided I didn’t need to be wasted to find joy in my life. From that day on I only drank on occasion maybe twice a month and stopped doing drugs. This world really is a beautiful place and has so much for one to offer if you only go out and try to do it.

Jason is such a cool dude, so excited and so happy and so grateful to be on these sets. I don't blame him.

i just wish we got the psychological joys and beautiful costumes of the party scene!! it wouldve been a cherry on top of a perfect film for me

Jason saying, “This one is for you, Khalissi,” got me ❤️❤️❤️

I am such a fan of the first 2 books (Ready to start 3, just, finishing off other books I'm reading). I have been excited to see certain films over my life. As a kid, seeing Star Wars at the drive in with the family, or the Indiana Jones series. By the time Jurassic Park and Avatar debuted, I was an adult and wasn't really invested in the films. but I still wanted to see them, and I still wanted them to be good work, representative of the novel in the cases there was one. I have always loved movies, and I have mostly kept that spark of my childhood excitement, for a GOOD movie. I've read the first Dune book twice, listened to it again downloaded from Audible, and am listening to the second book again as well, I really must applaud the on-line team's execution of "everything you need to know about dune," over the last year or more. Dune is not an easy book, as I found myself doing something I'd never had to do before. I had to stop at about 80-100 pages in, and start all over. This was not a book I could read with the TV or stereo on, or room mates goofing in the hall. This was a book worthy of my complete attention, and if I wanted to enjoy it, I'd better stop mucking about and move. I had to do the same wit Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. Id get about 2 chapters in and then stop and read something else. The guy who loaned me the book stayed in my head, throughout, So I finally got about 50 pages in and have been addicted to it since about 1994- ish. I finished it and gave it back to my co-worker who laughed and told me that as of that day there were at least 5 more books I could be reading while we awaited the next book. I didn't know whether to kiss him or kill him. It's not "great literature" but it is an excellent story, well told, and I've read the whole series, from page 1 to then end of book 6, then started again when it book 7 away announced. Anyway, we've got another season of Dexter, Dune, and Wheel of Time (Prime) all coming out at about the same time. It's like the Universe is offering me an olive branch after crapping on me mercilessly over the last 20 years. ***It's probably safe to say no one cares, but the amazing effort going into television shows surpass that of major movies filmed in the 80's & 90's, bless their little hearts. Anyway, here are some I recommend, and I'm always glad to get a solid movie recommendation. If you're recommendation is simply mock the length of this reply, rest assured, I've already mocked myself, so you can sav yourself the time and effort and go back ot porn, people with cats, people falling off their ladders onto their cats

Jason! mannnn you are so cool! And you totally are Duncan Idaho! perfect casting, amazing film, i love the crew/cast they are right on for when i was reading the books, like tim and zen are perfect for the characters in the book, im so glad they got that right, but i wasnt worried, Cant wait for part 2, its gonna be insane!

Duncan Idaho (Jason Momoa) tiene una presencia imponente en la pantalla y no solo física, también emocional y sensorial, también de decencia y humanidad. Como cuando enfrentándose a los Sardaukar, les dice furioso: "!Iréis al Infierno, perros!". Su azaña del vuelo dentro de la ciudad Arraken es proverbial, así cómo la búsqueda con Liet Kynes (genial ecóloga imperial qué toma partido) de dama Jessica y Paul Atreides, por quién no duda en salvarlo, entregando su vida. Cada vez más imprescindible Jason Momoa.
