Rebecca Ferguson & Denis Villeneuve On Lady Jessica And If We'll Get A 'Dune 2' 

The imagination come from Frank Herbert and watching David Lynch masterpiece. Blade Runner 2049 was not a patch on the original. Ridley Scott, a proper visionary. Villeneuve is making sequels. I am waiting for his one movie to be remembered, it will come but it needs to be a world he creates.

@@Harlock2day Watch more films from Villeneuve before talking out of nowhere. The only sequel he directed was BR49 and it was closer to the source material than the Ridley Scott film.

@@Harlock2day BR2049 is nothing like the original film and His Dune is waaayyy better than the garbage lynch made (comes from a big david lynch fan)

@@neillewis2577 I think Targuard meant that the source material is a novel, "Do androids dream of electric sheep"? BR2049 is a solid piece by itself, but obviously it relies heavily on it's predecessor in style. I really like them both.

@@Harlock2day Just seems like you don't know his work

She’s a top tier actress in my book.

@@Lurch685 I was stunned by her in Reminiscence, her role was so tragic but so beautiful, I really want to trade my life to save her at the end of that movie. Then idiots on the internet rated that movie so low, made me deleted all the social media stuff, the world is toxic.

@@MarcoAshford fuck these people. These are the folks who expect every movie to be a Marvel movie.

A Dune fan for over 40 years, I really enjoyed this new movie. But while I thought Ferguson generally did a solid job as Jessica, I was put off by all her fretting and crying, two things that Bene Gesserit-trained Lady Jessica would almost never do.

@@clickolodeon of course she would. She just wouldn’t in front of other people. She is a BG, but also a human, and a mother.

And her accent accentuates her beauty.

That fierce look is so attractive

Wait...

As am I. She's a beautiful creature ;)

As a teenager in the late 90's she used to be in a Swedish soap opera and she was the only reason I'd occasionally watch it lol. If you search Rebecca Ferguson Nya Tider you'll find pictures.

Here in France he release on Tuesday, can wait to watch it on Imax 🔥🙌🏼

Sadly can't watch it in theatre due to lockdown. So I've ordered a projector. Gonna project it to be at least 70 inches wide, use my Bose headphones for sound, and of course have a bowl popcorn ready. It ain't the real deal, but at least it will be something.

100%. I saw the first 10 mins on IMAX. It was beyond Epic.

The thing is that we dont have a premiere date yet for Latin America.

I'll go watch it today

I agree, I was most impressed with her performance as well. Though I think everyone was good. I didn’t see a weak link really. Leit Keynes was kinda so so, but that probably because they didn’t spend much time with that character.

True but this interview shows her as being a very arrogant person. I do not like that.

@@Tom-sd2vi like how this interview show her being arrogant in any way? lol too much projection.

@@Tom-sd2vi ???

as someone who never read the books. I was in shock to see such an amazing characther she was so strong and she dared to put his son on danger many times to see him grow. Damn best characther in the movie personally

@@v44n7 She had no agency and they casted a adult man on purpose so it wouldn't look sexist for him to have to protect his mother (it would look sexist if they casted an actual 14 year old boy protecting his mother). He told her when to drink water and that she must do the desert walk to avoid sandworms. He drove the ornithroper and saved her by telling the bad guy to remove her gag. He also fought a duel in her place. It's a common thing in patrarchial films where teenage boys have more agency than full grown adult women (Power of the Dog for example). I didn't read the books either but I know this is not a female character with human dignity.

She had no agency and needed her child to save her on more than one occasion. Also, she cries like a 5 year old most of the film, and none of the men around her emote. She was by far the most annoying character I've ever seen on film.

I wanted to get rid of her myself by the end of this train wreck of a film. If you can't show that it's ok for men to emote, then at least don't show the only main woman being the only one to throw tantrums like a 5 year old. It's insulting to anyone with human dignity.

From a fellow citizen of Montreal, Denis Villeneuve is a genious! Thank you making this legendary story to screen!

Genius Ahahahahahahabahahahahahahahahahahah Ahahahahahahabahahahahahahahahahahah first LEARNING then DISCERN , the meaning of the word made fleshed LOLOL ZZZZZZZZOMBIESZZZZZZZZZZZZZ world aka zombies apocalypse.

@@indomitablereasoning2875 If you behave like a child, you will be treated as one.

I am a bit concerned about the 'voices of heritage' comment. Heritage can be something to be proud of, or take the best bits from - rather than feel oppressed by or ashamed of.

@@indomitablereasoning2875 cool song

So true! Also Timothee Chalamet inspired me to win multiple awards for my film: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nSC4ptU79-8.html

Yes! I thought the same! which is refreshing when there are so many directors who aren't like that.

@@jessica5497 They have done a years worth of promotion together in a effort to get this film seen in theaters. That brought the cast together.

@@eshowoman true but he had the same chemistry with Amy Adams and they barely did promotion together because he was recording Blade Runner, so I believe it's in the Director's personality as well.

denis seems like a good dude

She was phenomenal. Great actress.

unbelievable More bro.

Too bad she's been bad-mouthing Frank Herbert in interviews, or so I've read.

@@kipo1456 the book and even her character.

It kills only animals!

@@kipo1456 She's been accusing his books of treating women in a bad light as it was written in the sixties. She also mentioned in the same interview that she hasn't actually read any of the books so.....yeah.

@@vanzahn Strange, considering how easily Jessica takes down Stilgar in the book (and the Fremen were much better fighters than even the Sardaukar, who were supposedly the best). In other words, she's strong as hell. But of course, Rebecca wouldn't know that, since she didn't bother reading the book.

Les Québécois, manifestez vous !

He is my favorite director. Him and David Lynch. They're both iconic. They inspire me to be a filmmaker. I was a kid when I grew up dreaming to be like them and when I did get older, I started doing films and thankfully did win with this one! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nSC4ptU79-8.html

he is, I love his work so much.

Blade Runner 2049 is the most beautiful film i ever watched

Así mero brodel

I live in Italy and the movie came out yesterday. I'm going to watch it again today cause I literally want more. It is that good!

I’m definitely going to watch it again.

@@TheGigetto98 what I like about the film is that it stays true to the book. often they make a film based on a book and they do things differently and you're thinking: " noo! it wasn't like that in the book!" and you wonder why they changed the story. why not just follow the book?

We will crowdfund it :D

if they don’t adapt all the books I gonna cause a riot.

Trilogy? Isn't it two part thing? :)

@@jonaswunderkind4580 It is two books filmed in three parts.. =/

@@thijsgeurts5003 Oh ok never heard him speak about the third part..

@@thijsgeurts5003 isn't it just part 2? And maybe DUNE Messiah and if we're really lucky we will even get Children of DUNE.

@@thijsgeurts5003 believe it should only be 2 for the first book and then another for dune messiah, then that should finish Paul’s arc in the dune universe

well said

Not by having him, but by teaching him all that she knew and by giving him all this power (despite of the fact that it was forbidden to do it since she had a son and not a daughter).

@@annab9994 :) I'm pretty sure "having him" is a prerequsite for teaching him and giving him anything, but yes, her position in life and the choice to have a boy created the biggest issue in the universe, and it was her love for the duke that was the reason. This is a story where love almost causes the downfall of the entire human universe. Ouch.

@@annab9994 Well, if we go by the book, Jessica's main mistake was to conceive Paul as a boy rather than a girl, messing up the Bene Gesserit plans and let their planned super-human (the Kwisatz Haderach) be born early & unready. But I like that the film emphasized the importance of Jessica's teachings.

A counterpoint to the whole "white savior" thing is that paul isn't a savior. If the people making these claims watched the film or read the book they'd know it. But I digress.

No, it was Feyd. Lovely Feyd.

Second is from Rabban.

Seven dislikes are from the Baron, Rabban, Feyd, Piter, the Emperor, a Harkonnen soldier and a Sardaukar.

@@speedisoftheessence You're terribly mistaken. One of the dislikes was actually from the slavemaster Feyd had bumped off, just before Feyd got to him.

One was from Thufir Hawat for not having their backs firmly against a wall

I hope they give Lady Jessica a hat in Dune 2

Stop. I'm too excited already

As a huge Dune fan, I agree. Only problem for me is it's too short. I hope part 2 will be longer once the producters see that we love these films.

Gonna watch it on IMAX this Friday! Super excited and even more so after reading your comment :D

I have the original novel but didn’t have the time to start it yet. Would I be able to watch the film first?

@@BJKD24 I know the books very well and I did bring a female friend who knew nothing about Dune, we loved the film. She noticed that some things were left out of the film but she enjoyed it anyway. So yeah go for it!

Stupid question but did you watch in Spanish or subs? Just curious!

And you can see in so many of his movies! Like Incendies or Arrival as well

just don’t mention The MCU

Yeah and for people saying its a "White savior" story don't know that its more like a deconstruction of the white savior than anything.

She also admitted to having never read any of the books and yet believes that the narrative is inherently sexist. Her words.

Yeah once you finish the books you definitely see that's not what's going on there.

@@aybekaya I've only ever seen the '84 movie and read wiki articles on certain aspects of the story, but that was enough to see that this narrative is far beyond most prior established tropes. Its a shame its taken humanity so long to mature and be able to accept these complicated and paradoxical ideals. Even Paul's visions in the tent hint towards his fate in this movie, and I'm sure a lot of people overlooked that scene's meaning. I mean, we literally got the plot of most of the story there.

It would be amazing! I’m so happy for her! Love her since Dr.Sleep

I think so too

Why? She had to have the cast explain the book to her like a child and then went on to complain about feminism issues because she had no concept of how highly regarded Jessica or women were in the books. Good actress but no idea what dune was about

@@yeahnowhatever4164she is the perfect casting if I base my opinion on her look, her prior performances, and her general aura/personality. If what you are saying is true, then sure, her lack of understanding of (or disdain for) the source material may show through in the performance, I haven’t seen the movie.

Francesca Annis fit the role of Lady Jessica far better

She got offended after reading 20 pages of the book. Worst casting evah.

Her performance in the movie is spectacular, best performance in the movie, and everybody in the cast is good. Definitely deserves a nomination for best supporting actress.

Anya Taylor Joy👀

Two high budget masterpieces of last 10 years

This was my second as well, my first was Terminator 2

this may be a good thing, provided that part 2 will be made. There is a time jump in the novel that may be conveyed more believably after all actors have aged 3-4 years.

@@icksbocks it didn't seem to be a problem when they showed Paul's visions of the future in the trailer. It's a little obvious CGI but nothing that can't be overlooked. (the blue in blue eyes and a bigger body).

How many directors get this opportunity these days?

Two years, part two is happening!

@@SJPace1776 yep. Minimum three years before we actually see it. Christmas 2024 I'd wager. If they got it out in summer 2024 that would be amazing.

We can still pray it doesn't.

Dennis doesn't release director's cuts to his movies. Maybe we could get deleted scenes or his commentary throughout the film

i would buy

I'd love an 8 hour documentary on the making of Dune

@@tite93 slight correction: Denis releases *only* director's cut. What you get in the theater is exactly what he wants to be shown.

@@ThyAxeman yes, should've used "extended cut" for clarity instead

Give it a break! All Hollywood women just need to be "hot", nothing else. If her character was a father instead of a mother he'd be called a coward so fast lol. Every "character" she plays except for Rose the Hat is a cowardly agencyless 2d stereotype who rely on looks to get by. But Rose the Hat relies on looks in lieu of morals, that's it. All her other "characters" have no agency so their having morals or not is a moot point (it wouldn't matter either way because if they have no agency they're treated as children or chattel). That's how low the bar is for women in Hollywood: looks and nothing else.
