‘Dune’ Director Denis Villeneuve Breaks Down a Scene | Vanity Fair 

Well, except for the people who have to watch this abject snoozefest.

He once said he went into cinema to shoot Dune one day, and that Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 were him experimenting with the sci-fi genre to make sure he was ready to shoot Dune.

@@johnstrawb3521 You just don’t have the neurochemistry to appreciate it. Just keep to your mcu schlock please, I think the Eternals might be easier for you to understand.

He has the best instincts for this. He really understood the story, and was able to move around in the world that Frank created.

@@johnstrawb3521 That is how part 1 has to be, character development. I loved it but some can't handle this kind of film.

i'm sure if the DvD/bluray has a director commentary, it will be thorough in the extreme

Yes please

This is one movie that I will definitely be getting a blu-ray for the commentry

I would 100% pay for that

yes, please!

I see the similarity and what you mean but also that would be an absolutely horrendous bow hold. I guess that would be the deadly and scorpion like part.

Why deadly holding as an violinist?

@@JKerr97 The bows may look harmless, but wait until they bring out the arrows

@@Nimtrix XD ahahahaha!

_prana bindu_ afforded a Bene Geserit total control of musculature. And yet, her hand with the Gom Jabbar shakes. Silly, Denis!

@@Scroolewse Yes. And hopefully there will be extended versions.

@@abstractnonsense3253 It's a two-part adaptation not a trilogy. He'd lose material if he made another one unless he wants to adapt the other books.

@@macsarts1389 He said he wanted to adapt Dune Messiah, the 2nd book. I don't know if he still wants it. In my opinion, if you adapt the 2nd book you have to adapt all the way to the 4th in order to make a satisfying series of movies with beginning, middle, and end to the whole narrative. That's about 4 more movies though for a total of 6.

@@abstractnonsense3253Yes and we know how franchises go off the rails after like the second film, third if we're lucky. Why subject the fans to that?

I’m going ahead and saying that Denis stays entirely devoted to Herbert’s vision and creates the sci fi masterpiece of the 21st century with P2

Clearly you haven't read the book

@@notanuragg clearly, you don’t own an air fryer.

Sorry, but quite the opposite. As the author Frank Herbert puts it, it’s a warning against charismatic leaders because the trend is to follow without questioning. Paul is not really the hero he appears to be as he numbs that spirit into submission by idolization.

@@hakukuze7947 That's the point of the book, if human spirit can triumph over Idolization.

The triumph of the human spirit is one main theme, the dangers of charismatic leaders is another. To dismiss one for the other would be folly because they’re intertwined

Agreed. He has a humbleness about him

He is a true gentleman and genius and he deserves every success in his future.

Yes they all along with the cast constantly shoutout each other! My guess is that they had amazing atmosphere on set

This is such a wonderful description of the impact felt. Mark Mangini, Theo Green, Doug Hemphill, and of course Hans Zimmer are all genius at their craft. This movie almost felt documentary-esc with the seamless cinematography and with the sound added in, it didn't feel like you were watching a movie, it felt like you were witnessing real past/future events captured on film.

I just saw Dune part two last night and it's even more profound

@@hollyshouse928 i agree!! what an incredble description for the world class sound design. so many textured details that bring everything to life. loved every second

Seemingly impossible? Please, pro sound designers make things like this in every Hollywood film, it's called using the IMAX subwoofer

​@@Vasily_dont_be_silly I watched Part I and II in a non-IMAX cinema and still felt what op described. It might have been even more powerful in IMAX, but the sound design is what stayed with me most prominently especially after Part II. It really did what sound is always supposed to do for movies: drag you into the movie on such a fundamental level that you really experience what is happening yourself.

Yes that’s exactly why I’m so excited by what he’s done with his first movie and I’m excited to see what happens with the next, Now that they’re going to continue

@Rob van Kol Metabarons, yes! With Jodorowsky as producer (yeah, I know, he's 92 years old). That would be awesome and insane. But I think it would have to be a big-budget miniseries.

I'd watch anything directed by him that's Warhammer40k-related

@@jedi098765 oh my god that would be amazing

tbh i didnt understand when i watched the movie that he was supposed to keep his hand in the box... while i was watching i thought he was trying to psychically cut his hand off...

Perfectly said

There's also a spice of "if I feel like someone has a better idea than mine I will respect them and carefully consider their opinion."

After watching the film, the man definitely knows what he's doing

with a fittingly superior french accent

@@last7509 🤣

Yeah they’re like the Spielbergs and Scorseses of our generation.

Tenet by Nolan was absolutely atrocious.

An over engineered idea. Could've been better.

Nolan isnt close to Denis' storytelling and visual skill; he has great technical skill but no imagination

​@@stevedecklin I'm sorry what? Almost every Nolan movie is a masterpiece. The Prestige is a masterclass of storytelling. Nolan's dark night trilogy is all the more amazing in that Batman was already too well known. Inception, interstellar, lacking in visuals and imagination? Nolan single-handedly redefined the sci-fi genre. Tenet was his only failure imo, but can't be blamed on a lack of imagination.

yeeeeees! i jumped!

Yep 😁

One of the coolest parts of the movie. I remember thinking “yo, that thing means business”

Wow

Yes! When I saw it in Dolby, my seat shook my drink so much it splashed a bit. Hearing The Voice here through my phone sounds like a completely different thing. Long live cinema!

yes, it´s very rare that i want a movie to last longer. When i watched bladerunner - which is a very slow and long movie - i still wished it would go on for another hour. And i didn´t get the chance to watch it on the big screen. Can´t wait for the next Dune chapter

He’s also allowed new fans, like me, to really enjoy this world. I had 0 knowledge on Dune or the background of it, but this movie really allowed me to enjoy everything it has to offer and I look forward to more. Although I’ve already watched it on HBO Max, I’m definitely going to buy it when it’s available digitally.

@@LeeoGoneWild please go see it in the theater! Give them your $$. Part 2 has not yet been greenlit! WB are dragging their feet

@@TheFatblob25 I heard part 2 was confirmed over the weekend? I can’t do movie theaters anymore, I do not like the regulations regarding covid, but HBO max can see how many times the movie was streamed, I’ll also give them my money by purchasing the digital copy when it comes outta does that help?

@@LeeoGoneWild box office is more important for sequels than physical copies that are being sold. But no worries, the WB CEO teased green light for Dune part 2, it's most certainly coming

Out of curiosity, who’s this other director?

​@@killert_7759probably no one

@@gavindennis9988 I immediately thought of Nolan - but he absolutely praises all of his team also.

@@DavidOakesMusicI thought of Tarantino

I thought of Zack Snyder

I have a feeling this will follow a similar trajectory as "The Lord of the Rings" at the Oscars. The Oscars don't typically acknowledge fantasy or sci-fi movies, but, as demonstrated by "The Lord of the Rings," if these films prove to be masterpieces, the latest entry could achieve a clean sweep, much like what happened with "The Return of the King" and its 11 Oscars.

​@Kimera92 I doubt that as messiah is generally seen as a massive dip in quality of the books. I'll be very surprised if Denis can truly bring the whole trilogy together as well as lord of the rings. I believe Dune part 2 will be the best of the trilogy I'm definitely worried about messiah

@@VVopal I wasnt really thinking about Messiah, especialy because Denis already said that this is not supposed to be a trilogy, even tho he might do Messiah in the future

I hope you're categorizing him as an actual fan?

@@scambankrunfraud I think @Megumi Hayashida is categorizing him as a fan, because he has read the book not now but when he was a teenager and that book made a difference in his life.

@@scambankrunfraud he made the movie based upon his own vision as a fan, of course he isn’t a “greedy director”

@@scambankrunfraud Denis started reading the book when he was 14yo ;)

TRUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

He has wanted to make the film since he was 13. That's love

why did he remove all references to Jihad?

@@param6525 Why do you care so much that he did?

The cast is brilliantly chosen.

@@ariescustom because it's part of the source material. He played it safe by removing all references of Islamic framing, which as an artist, is really hypocritical.

He and Christopher Nolan are the two modern directors who I will watch anything they do. I loved his Blade Runner sequel.

@@danielh377 Nolan has a special craft in creating spectacles but recently he has been creating caricaturish characters. His recent movies has forgettable protagonists. Whereas Denis is masterful and clever in creating trance like stories.

@@justhereforcomments6880 wait till you see Oppenhiemer.

@@danielh377 DV is more versatile than Nolan. Nolan only relies on confusing the audience but DV's every movie feels totally different.

He's definitely one of the best when it comes to keeping things serious and looking great!

Same.

And that's what Villeneuve did right, while all other adaptations got it wrong: He made it accesible to people who hadn't gone nerd on it and read all the books before. Previous adaptations either left lots of the lore out or had huge exposition-dumps that would bore audiences.

Welcome to the Fandom.

i highly recommend the books the film does a good job of adapting it but frank herberts own words are unbeatable

Trailer for part 2 is out. 🤟

just an absolutely beautiful mixture of humility and passion. I'd love to get a drink with him and just hear him talk

He’s the quiet, smart, talented kid making movies in his head since he was a teenager. His attention to detail is what makes his films great.

He has a fantastic deep voice too. He could read whats on a tin of paint and i'd still hang on his words!

I saw it in IMAX last night and I was struck by the power of some scenes and my god Hans Zimmer...

Also amazingly good at swiming the Hollywood waters, placing the right key words and marketing or ideological efforts to get the means to create his own visions and art ! An equilibrist really, and not only in directing...

yeah same, need more of this

I’m sure they will release a dvd with a directors cut and scene commentary

I hope there’s more to come!

@@morefreeporn I guess we’d be happy watch 60 hours of video then. These breakdowns are so interesting.

Best I can offer is x0.25... gets you about an hr and 10 min lol

I completely agree. I had zero experience with Dune before watching the movie. I was entranced by it, it was gripping, every second felt important. The music, the dialogue, the shots. I want to read the books now

I got lost in the book, it's amazing, can't wait to see this.

The series is the best. Just wait till you get to God-Emperor ;)

I'm a millennial who grew up with Arthur c Clarke, Lord of the rings and it's amazing when you see a director take a book and put their vision and love for that source material on screen be at 2001 A space Odyssey Lord of the rings or Dune

wait until you're five books deep

I must say, I would deeply love that

@@nataliajimenez1870 I hope he does one 🥺

Me toooo

The thing is... he definitely could.

Well said.

they can probably watch/read it and find out.

Actually,you’ll be surprised on how many people acknowledge that fact. Dune is artistic but lack of emotions and necessary details. Plus the dialogue it’s too silly IMO. I never thought Mr Villeneuve would butchering his subtle (sometimes cryptic) way on delivering message and explaining a plot. I can’t shruggs those irritating cliches and exposition over my itchy head.

Visually looks like star wars but its different in storytelling

Well said. I thoroughly enjoyed it and liked being able to draw my own conclusions.

I think the best sci fi serves as a metaphor to tell an underlying story rather than what we see at surface level

This comment deserves more applause, please

Well, he mentioned department leads and actors, not all crew members.

@Doge Hardon why are you like this? The movie is good

@Doge Hardon Your opinion seems so intelligent. I love all the examples and interesting perspectives you offer here. What do you mean not creative? I really would like to hear what’s not creative about it.

@Doge Hardon "story was boring" That's the only thing I need to see to know that you didn't understand the movie at all.

We are drowning in a sea of bastardized and defiled source materials, seeing Dune keep as faithful as it could be is a breath of fresh air

Exactly. And in addition to his passion and love he has a talent and vision to bring it on screen.

@@roger5555ful agreed. We have so much sound & visual pollution, that this film strips away the nonsense of big block- ‘bluster’ weekend openers to invite us in to this story crossing generations in a way that’s both delicate & theatrical.

Good comparison, I also think Dune will be that same kind of adaptation of a rare, very high quality like Jacksons trilogy. I never read Dune, but this movie made it plain that it's an epic tale. Can't wait for part II

@@profundus8946 do yourself the favour of reading it, it's incredible

Yeah the whole room shook

Question, can you clarify if you watched in imax or Dolby atmos? I watched in atmos and the sound was incredible. I read that imax doesn't have atmos so although sound will be great it won't be the same.

@@ayesha8809 a lot of the new IMAX have Dolby in them :)

Oh boy, Gotta find an IMAX

I honestly flinched in fear when Paul yelled in anger using the voice.

That’s what makes the Dune universe so great. Even 10,000 years in the future. It’s not about the technology. The most advanced thing in this fiction, is the human mind and body. Making it a story all about humanity.

It's visually stunning, nonetheless.

Agreed. And that's what Made lord of the rings films great as well... It was more historical than it was fantasy. This was more historical than it was sci-fi

And despite it feeling more like a period peice, it was still the most visually spectacular film I have seen for a long long time

It's kinda like game of thrones in space. House Atredies = House Stark. House Harkonnen = House Bolton. House Corrino (the Emperor's house) = House Lannister.

And it shows too because it was legit scene for scene word for word of the book. Now I can picture how everything unfolds.

@@mentaltelepathy24 It's super close, I love this line that wasn't in it though "There's an animal kind of trick. A human would remain in the trap, endure the pain, feigning death that he might kill the trapper and remove a threat to his kind" which was replaced by "what will you do", still works and is shorter, maybe more fitting for the theme he was trying to emphasize as well.

When filming LOTR Ian McKellan was the only one with the book! In an interview he once said he'd hold it up and say "it doesn't say that in the book!"... Priceless!!! Plus; I agree, more of these deconstruction, absolutely fascinating!

sadly he left out the islamic influences that were prominent throughout the book ://

@@rafia2918 how

You all are to easily pleased, he wrecked this entire scene. The original was done so much better. the entire scene of Paul asking about the box and when she says to him pain, Paul tires to speak and pull away, she then puts the Gom Jabbar to his neck.

Ohh boy the people who start with this movie then read the books are in for a ride. The books get crazy and crazier

Enjoy! I read the first one years ago. Life got busy, I didn't realize there were more. After the movie I went through the rest in a week and a half. 😂😂😂 I didn't know :spicehead" was a thing!😂

Wait until you discover the prequel trilogies and the “sequels” that Brian Herbert and Kevin did. And the reveal at the end of the 20+ books that the real Kwisatz Haderach is a different character than we thought is mind blowing

I read 1 through 5, and waited desperately for chapter house dune.

SUCH a cool character concept. The look, voice, body language, it was all perfect.

Excellent casting decision as well. That way she looks at Paul through the veil conveys pure contempt.

They are all terrifying. I wouldn't want to know any of them. I have great respect for the characters of the Chronicles but they are all extraordinarily deadly. Maybe that's the attraction!

@@frostyrobot7689 he was right to say she jumped on him like a snake. She was like a predator playing with its prey. There is a reason Charlotte Rampling is a legend.

Ironically she was more terrified of Paul then

Diana Courtney-Smith, I thought the same, that the acting was incredibly good here. Chalamet’s facial expressions and groans during the torture were so believable, so true, that my spine tingled. And then came the moment when he realizes that his will shall triumph over his agony and he raises a defiant chin to glare into the face of the Reverend Mother. Wow. That was masterful acting.

That the Rev Mother expressed such power through the obstruction of the veil is even more impressive. Her voice, combined with just a glimpse of an eye is all that is needed.

Rebecca Ferguson was easily my best all around. She's so intense and her scenes are so powerful, best discovery of my year for sure.

Its my favorite part! Now, my new mantra is "I must not fear, fear is the mind-killer". Wish i could glare back to the things i fear the most, the way Paul did to Mother Reverend

@@peachmelba1000 it would be impossible for a series to have the budget needed for dune. I do agree novel adaptations lend themselves better for series instead of films but this is probably the most faithful adaptation of a novel possible.

YES!!!

💯 Those two are the GOATs as far as directors are concerned right now.

Totally agree!

No way the film sucked sorry just being honest too many unnecessary and looked way too unrealistic to believe whether the actor or way they filmed it

Equally great, they are very much different in the way they approach their movies. Nolan’s is plot-driven, characters are tools, while Villeneuve’s is entirely the opposite, where characters ARE what drives the story.

I absolutely agree. I was a huge fan before this movie because of Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, and Sicario. Arrival in particular is my favorite of his movies, and one of my favorite movies ever. And the scenes in 2049 when Ryan Gosling's character is being tested for emotional distress, held me captive and I think they're some of the most incredible scenes with a spectacular acting performance in any film. I have waited for and and enjoyed every film Denis has directed. Every movie is an experience that is totally enthralling and his movies have a way of sticking in my mind and imagination, long after I've watched them. Not only are his movies visually rich, but the stories are great and the soundtracks are unique and haunting. Denis is King Midas as far as I'm concerned. Dune is his latest masterpiece. I can't wait for more Dune, and more Denis Villeneuve.

Absolutely. He’s my favorite working director. His ability to handle so many deep themes while also juggling massive VFX scenes is unlike any I’ve ever seen. It’s incredible!

@@pr7nce00 easily my favorite he’s done. the twist is just so heart wrenching

She was so outstanding. A brilliant rendering of Lady Jessica

Love the LOTR movies for me they don’t come anywhere near Dune in terms of the level of visual storytelling.

But now the technology has caught up - seeing this in IMAX was incredibly immersive

@@wm5957 Yeah but even putting aside new tech Dune just has one of the most unique visual languages I've ever seen in a movie, let alone a blockbuster. LoTR on the other hand is beautiful but it didn't jave really an aesthetic that we'd never seen before. Peter Jackson basically depicted a known fantasy aesthetic in the best way we'd seen so far whereas Dune is truly unique in its imagery. LoTR didn't bridge Hollywood and high art cinema in the same way that Dune does. There's really nothing like it.

@@freakymoejoe2 Meh, as long as it doesn't impact the story I don't really mind. It's not like Kynes is anyone's favorite character or anything. Now if you had like a female Duncan Idaho or something? Sheesh

@@jacobtrost5048 it did kinda undermine the contrast between fremen and kynes portrayed in the book, but you are right, prolly nobody's favorite character

Incredible compliment, and so well earned!
