Curate, connect, and discover
The trailer is finally out... looks awesome, Dune is one of my favorite books of all time, and I’ve read A LOT of books. Can’t wait to see this!!!!
I’m not very familiar with director Denis Villeneuve but he directed Arrival which I thought was brilliant, and I’ve heard good things about his other films so the excitement factor is high.
I love that the trailer is set to a cover of Pink Floyd, which is one of my favorite bands. Io9 does a great wrap up for folks who are looking for the breakdown of the rest of the trailer (spoiler alert).
"Herbert's creation of this universe, with its intricate development and analysis of ecology, religion, politics, and philosophy, remains one of the supreme and seminal achievements In science fiction." (The Louisville Times)
