- The Sleeper has awoken! Join Dune superfan Stephen Colbert (The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) as he sits down with director Denis Villeneuve and stars Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Jason Momoa, Zendaya, Javier Bardem, and Sharon Duncan Brewster to discuss their ambitious cinematic adaptation of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi classic.
Dune arrives in theaters on December 18.
Note: Nerdist is a subsidiary of Legendary Digital Networks - Zábava
Stephen & Denis: I first encountered Dune when I was Paul Atreides' age
Timothée: I first encountered Dune when I was Paul Atreides
:D
True
I wonder how many young kids today still read good books in the library. I guess...close to none.
@@mannylugz5872 Yeah probably the library receives close to none children. Although I like to believe that they use Kindle or something like that and they still read some books.
@@mannylugz5872 My mother is a librarian and I can report that the library is still very popular with kids. Of course they lend out other media as well these days, but the books still fly of the shelves. People went coconuts when the library re-opened after lockdown.
It's like Oscar Isaac's entire career is a science fiction fantasy where he has to run around in a desert.
This made me chuckle
Don't forget disco dance with an android
They've lied to him. He actually thinks it's all the same movie he's filming, just with a very varied script. They only have to pay him once that way.
Tatooine is just Lucas straight up cribbin from Dune.
Sarlac pit anyone? And the new SW movies ofc had to have dessert planets to keep the feel of the Skywalker saga so the similar aesthethics of it all is not even coincidental.
But you all knew that...
See Annihilation. Such an underrated flick
Some people that didnt read Dune are saying in the trailer's comments that It looks generic...It pisses me off so much because OF COURSE seems like something you watched before... Because Dune INSPIRED all those movies.
EXACTLY
I’ve always loved Star Wars since I was a little kid, now at 17 I’m reading the first book of Dune and I’m understanding the magnitude of this book, if Dennis makes a great adaptation it will be like nothing we have ever seen before
@@marvincruz6721 It literally has been seen like 40 years ago. It's the exact same story just a remake with modern CGI. And for me personally nothing could beat the original.
@@vitezkoja8211 The Lynch movie was ass
YESSS
Oscar Isaac and Rebeca Ferguson being cast as Timothee's parents is prolly one of the best casting ever.
That's some fine looking family right there
Yup there's looking like real family
Should have cast a greek like jason mantzoukas instead
For me, Jurgen Prochnow was a perfect Leto. But got behind Oscar. He pulled it off better than I expected. Rebecca was a very nervous Jessica for me, more clearly freaking out when Jessica's stress in my interpretation of the books, was always under the surface. But they are visibly gorgeous people no doubt.
@@harvestmoon_autumnsky I thought that about Ferguson's Jessica too, but I can let that slide because of the runtime constraints Villeneuve had to work with. How I see it is that we still do witness moments that show Jessica's Bene Gesserit training, but because of the runtime issue, Villeneuve wanted to show Jessica's motherhood and her training working against each other and couldn't include all those moments of Jessica's steel resolve without making the movie much longer than it already is. That said, I would very much welcome what all the hardcore fans have been asking for to have WB/Legendary allow an extended/director's cut. The overarching context behind the moments that did make it into the cut is arguably secondary, but the core narrative remains and I would gladly sit through all the deleted scenes Villeneuve forced himself to cut out.
Timothée's jawline is sharper than the crysknife.
thats bechause he's malnourished
@@olliesish nah just skinny, he has a pretty normal body weight
May your jawline chip and shatter
@Shelly Appropriate, cause lots of people would sit there given the opportunity. His face is built for comfort and function.
@@alexislucas2385 as it should be
“They didn’t shoot Jaws in a swimming pool.” That’s the attitude! xD
I need a shirt with that quote🤣
@@miltontavares9506 I'm getting my shirt to read, "They didn't shoot Jawas in a swimming pool". C'mon, I can't be the only one to have mis-read it.
I fucking love Denis
Wth?? I read it AT THE SAME TIME that he said it!!
@@nicread9508 _what’s your point exactly?_
The amount of attractive people in this video is giving me whiplash
Thats some fine looking family right there
Denis has a sweet tooth for actors.
Right 😋 I’m pansexual so I’m in awe of all of them
The fact that this was the Sci-Fi novel that started the Sci-Fi boom is absolutely baffling to me. The level of thought that went into the lore is feels like it should be the most recent one. It takes place so far in the future that humans have already created advanced AI, went to war with it, somehow won the war and then collectively banned all kinds of AI/computer technology leading to a sort of reverse renaissance into the religious and mystical. It’s f’ing genius
You'll find that a surprising amount of older sci fi fiction, even from as early as the 1940's had chilling prescient visions and themes of the future that are affecting us today.
I like it since it solves a lot of sci-fi problems with AI. For Star Wars, why not build tie fighters controlled by computers? Dune answers that question and inspired George Lucas tremendously.
It would be cool to have a spin off series of movies portraying the Butlerian Jihad.
Cough.. ehrmm The Foundation by Asimov?
@@campacorentinestation8526 I love Asimov’s Foundation series but it was not nearly as impactful to modern pop culture as Dune was.
Chalamet is hilarious when he says he didn't read Dune when he was young :D Colbert and Denis are like "Dude, you're 6".
....or an 800 year old vampire.
He's reborn from the tleilaxu axlotl tanks.
Colbert constantly treats him like a child, even in previous interviews, it’s funny, I guess it’s because he looks young and naive, but he is 25 in 3 months so COME ON COLBERT STOP IT! 😂😂
@Ay-Lmao I mean, everyone pronounces it differently in their head when reading a book, no? This whole time I thought it was freeman, not fre-man. I pronounced it Ledo as well, that's how it would be in English.
Same thing happened in Harry Potter, before the movies came out, everyone was pronouncing Hermione differently.
Colbert looks like what I imagine a kiddievore would look. I'm not saying he eats children but he looks like someone who might.
Q - "How many A-list actors do you need for Dune?"
Denis Villeneuve - "Yes."
I want Aquaman and Thanos!!
Daniel Day-Lewis is currently ingesting massive amounts of melange so he can mutate into a Guild Navigator in time to start filming Dune Messiah.
Denis: Bring me everyone.
Casting director: What do you mean everone?
Denis: EVERYONE!!!
@@theevilascotcompany9255 He's so committed!
*oui
With the video setup, it's SO impressive how much Timothee Chalamet looks like a 50/50 combination of Oscar Isaac and Rebecca Ferguson.
That's some fine looking family right there
Yup exactly
Awwwwwww❤
I couldn't believe my eyes looking at the family tree that lady Jessica is Baron Vlad Harkonnen's daughter. Wtf
Denis's description of Timotheé was perfect. His intelligent look mixed with his young appearance is what makes him perfect for the role and as a human being haha. He can't be any more intelligent, sensitive, artistic, beautiful, amazing. He is everything that is good in life 😁
He’s an excellent actor. You are drooling🥴
Don't slip off ur chair jesus...
Yeah, cause you know him. These thirst trap comments are so annoying. I bet he feels disturbed when he reads these kind of things that are basically judging him from pure looks. Do better next time Casandrargentina.
they really got the hottest cast imaginable for this movie
Oscar Isaac is my dream man.. edgy but sweet.
zendaya and timothee chalamet all i have to say
Liet Kynes should still be a man in the movie. None of this woke SJW gender and race swapping bullshit and then justifying it and rationalizing it with pseudo-artistic linguistic word-salad trickery.
@@SOBIESKI_freedom While I agree with you this is how it is. It's not that deep just don't watch the damn movie
Just wait for "Don't worry, Darling". For now all of them are hot, especially Florence and Harry.
I have to say, excellent casting for the Atreides family. Paul has his father's eyes and his mother's jawline.
In the Book Paul has his mother's eyes :) But I guess we can live with this detail :)
nah...he looks way more like rebecca and nothing like Oscar..? 🤷🏼♀️
The hottest family i've ever seen
@@jesukristo3852 The casting appearance won’t always be perfect, and that’s not the most important part anyways. But they knocked it out of the park here.
@@jesukristo3852 It should be the opposite, indeed. But this is not really important.
Rebecca Ferguson's really showing the quiet, purposeful aspects of her character. It's a real treat! Those piercing eyes - they see, they know. Her loyalty is *earned*, and it makes every character connected to hers stand out all the more. You cannot pull off Dune without a convincingly powerful Jessica.
"The Desert TAKES away the ego" ❤️ wow
I felt that too ⚡
Idk why, but this is the best social distancing interview I have ever seen, so clean, amazing quality and the questions are perfect
RIGHT!
Cara Stern helps a lot that Steven loves what he is talking about.
That because they were probably all in the same studio to film it. Lol.
It helps if the host is a giant nerd who is a true scifi/fantasy buff.
YES! thats what I was thinking
Jesus, this casting is Lord of the Rings quality.
Na
In comparison to the original it’s really not
Shin Yagami it is tho
@@ethanghoura5551 have you watched the original?
It is a great cast. But Lord of the Rings was filled with little known actors and that made it much more easier to back the characters.
I wonder if Timothee intentionally wore that black and green sweater. reminds me of the Atreides banner
I feel like there are very few things he does unintentionally
@@JuliaJiggs True. You can see his brain working like a pinball machine crafting together responses.
@@JuliaJiggs he is the Kwisatz Haderach, after all.
There is a massive amount of respect between the actors and Denis. This just tells the audience how great of a director he is to the actors and how giving he is in collaborativness. This film was theatrically beautiful and the cast was just phenomenal.
Cringe
Totally agree. Beautifully done.
"I demanded that we shoot in the real desert. They did not shoot Jaws in a swimming pool."
Tell it to the Russo brothers and Zack Snyder that it's possible to shoot on locations and to buikd large scale sets.
That made me feel like "yep .. this is in good hands"
Ofer Mizrahi you’d be surprised with how much of Snyder’s movie sets are not green screen, he’s like Christopher Nolan in terms of practicality compared to the Russo brothers
@@n0zenzur in the russo brothers’ defense, did u expect them to actually go to titan to shoot avengers?
@@ttttt5072
More building sets though
This cast has the feeling of something like Lord of the Rings really hope this movie does amazing
Somebody said "I wish Villeneuve will be to Dune what Peter Jackson did to LotR"
Jason Momoa sucks he's got a filthy mouth and he's a buffoon I don't know how Dennis put him in this movie for me it's ruining it also changing the male character to the female liet-kynes
@@TheBatmanjb k
LOTR is epic, and Dune is easily on par!
JOHN BOYAJY list-Kynes is a black woman and dr. Yueh is Asian. From a first impression someone would say to me “ah! You are a racist!”. But the truth is that hollywood producers needs, -because of business-, to use specific characters to appeal to the audience, they need to sell more, and how we can easily see in max production like Star Wars, they need more women and they need famous Chinese actors to appeal to the Asian market. It’s just a rule, Hollywood is a business. Momoa is clearly there to boost the young audience as well. But overall I hope we will see these aspects mildly and we will see more art. I trust villanueve
timothee is just so eloquent & passionate. it’s a pleasure to hear him speak about his work
Whereas Zendaya is...not!
He's clearly very intelligent and self-reflective. I'd love to share a drink with him (when he can, haha).
@@kruksog He's 25...
@@RandomVidz690 maybe they meant when he's free?
@@-Olea- free from what?
TIMOHTY is literally born for this role. He IS Paul....
No, no, he's still just an actor playing a part. He's very good at it, though.
Oscar Isaac must have the best agent in all of Hollywood
And Josh Brolin too.
@@adityamandhane Josh Brolin did Avengers, why would doing a Marvel movie be a good thing besides the money mabye? But I thought we're talking artistic merit here
@@alexengelen7762 He's done stuff that deserves merit, like No Country For Old Men. And Oscar Issac was in Star Wars.
@@adityamandhane I didn't say he weren't in any good movies, he's done a lot of them and that he doesn't have a GOOD agent, but it says "the best agent in hollywood". Yeah Oscar Isaac was in Star Wars, but Star Wars is galaxies away from these silly and awkward marvel movies, even admitting that the last SW was complete crap
@@alexengelen7762 yeah right.... Being in Star Wars is an honor, being in Marvel, mostly after Scorsese's views is just wrong
Look at Oscar out there throwing shade at Star Wars AND flexing that he's been in an X-Wing and the Millennium Falcon in the same sentence
@@thealjohnsonshow2188 Basically what Torchy Brown said, if you watched Oscar's interview for Star Wars, especially the last one, you'll understand
I love Oscar so that's really disappointing to me. His character wasn't even supposed to survive the first 15 minutes but they loved his performance so much they put him in all three movies, and he had a great arc in the second one. He really can't complain.
I love that he starts off in that manner and then goes right for Brolin's giant head... LOL
@@MsMaggyW Ohhh noo it's disappointing that the actors themselves (even Boyega) have openly stated how much they disliked the sequels for mishandling everything. Is it the end of the world?
We LOVE to see it
The way actors talk about Denis Villeneuve makes me believe he's actually some sort of film god repeatedly blessing us with amazing cinematic experiences
Absolutely became obsessed with Oscar Isaac's performance as Duke Leto. Such a good film
Rebecca Ferguson's voice is so captivating. When she talks, she commands attention. When she said "her decision creates fracture and disrupts...everything." It was spine tingling.
Sorry i dont read the book, but her character has that Cersei Lannister vibe.. when she describes it
She’s using the Voice
Time stamp?
It's her English accent
@@iamtheruraljuror9257 She has some similarities to Cersei, but she's not as cruel.
After Timmy's disappointment at not being featured more in Interstellar, I think this more than makes up for it.
Haha yeah
The virgin Nolan vs the chad Villeneuve
Wait, that was Chalamet?!
Is there an interview or something where he said he was disappointed? Where did you get to information I would love to see it myself.
@@strw.b3rry395 Here it is czcams.com/video/dlVpQI0-Sf8/video.html
Timothee has this mysterious charm in him.
Something about him terrify me.
so is it a good or bad thing?
@@annabethkelly7097 it's a good thing, obviously
in this interview he does seem aloof and mysterious but in most interviews he's a golden retriever so I think it just depends on the day. I def think he'll be able to capture that otherworldly, intellectual brooding of Paul.
If you feel that way you should watch him on Snl
Idk why but I love how Stephan has such enthusiasm on the interview you can tell he really did his home work
Colbert's a big geek. He loves Lord of the Rings, too. Dude has good taste in fiction despite being a centrist dipshit.
I know this is a really old comment but Colbert is a genuine nerd and either already read Dune, or got into it when he heard about the film.
This interview is well edited, feels like they're all in the same room
straight to the point and showcases how the actors took the roles well. A nice reflection of their humanity about the nerd questions.
They probably are in the same studio or two! Same lights, same sound same ear piece... I mean... Everything's fake on TV you know
From the camera, i think they are in the same studio but keep the distance between each other
Considering Dune is a passion project for Denis, this very much reminds me of Peter Jackson directing LOTR. Very excited to see this film.
I feel exactly the same.
Agreed. That’s what big franchises need directors who passionate about the world and lore.
I never heard of this book before, but I can say that this movie has me very intrigued, this definitely feels like it could be the next LOTR in the way of how important it is for cinema, I really would love this movie to go down in cinema history up their with Peter Jackson LOTR
I just watched Dave Daschmitlan, probably absolutely butchered his last name but based off what he said it’s a historic film that will go down in cinema history, he is an actor in the movie so he could be biased, I really hope he’s right we need another movie that lives up to LOTR films 😊
Let’s hope history repeats here like it did twenty years ago with Peter’s trilogies.
@@danielmoorefield4891 exactly 🤞
i still can’t believe the fact that zendaya and timothée are gonna be in the same movie.
Did you know Timothee auditioned in Spiderman obviously the role was went to Tom Holland....what a coincidence.
same
the fact timothée was almost gonna be spider-man in the mcu...
@@darkunicorn1203 I'm glad Timothee didn't get Spiderman. He wouldn't have gotten to stick his teeth into some tough roles that demonstrate the skill of his acting.
@@heatherbukowski2102 Spider-Man would have held him back imo he’s a serious actor Spider-Man is more of a light hearted role
If I was not already so excited for this movie, I would be excited for no other reason than the way Timothy smiled when Zendaya was talking about their characters relationship at 11:03
YES!!
Yep

Stephen Colbert: Living out all of our geek fantasies
@Jeffemano ok edge lord
@Jeffemano done ranting now step aside
@Jeffemano done now? Stfu
While I don't agree with him 100% of the time, he is so much a fan of all the things that I am and am fully on-board when he geeks out.
@jeannette
Nah.
I'd be embarassed for putting their names together like that, if I were you.
Neither one is anything like the other.
Colbert is super literate and has an imagination and great empathy.
Donald can't imagine anything past the next round of applause from those he grifts, and only empathizes with Karens like himself, who play the victim when they really aren't.
Timothee reaction on the trailer was very sweet. He looked emotional and proud of himself for being part of an incredible movie with Phenomenal co stars.
He’s a dolly! (Not gender specific).
Straight-up peach
As he should, he looks outstanding in the trailer. Denis Villeneuve has high praise for Timothée 😊😊😊
dude, the vibe is so matching with the books. like, visually it just feels like what it feels like to read the novel

@@rahulmarchand2938 the movie was incredible, part 2 and the eventual part 3 Dune Messiah Will all be incredible. One of the best movies of the last 5 years imo.
@@magiccookies420 Agreed I've seen it now
I thought Chalamet was English because of his impeccable accent in Henry V. It's very unusual to hear an American get the accent so correct.
Timothée spent his summers with his dad in France, but he's a proud New Yorker 🚕🚒🗽🍕🌭🥨
Oddly enough, I thought he was British because of that jawline.
@@SynthApprentice i've seen plenty of englishmen with double, triple, quadruple plus chins
@@ToxicallyMasculinelol Sure, but you don't see too many Americans with a chin like Benedict Cumberbatch's or Tom Hiddleston's.
@@SynthApprentice I guess it depends where in america you go. obesity aside, genetics and hormones are obviously a factor, but genetically, white americans are not gonna be substantially different from white englishmen on average.
but in this case we're talking about famous people, right? and maybe there's a cultural difference in which male actors become very famous. maybe englishmen are more drawn to thin males like tom hiddleston, and americans are more drawn to bulky males like chris hemsworth. like an archetypal fulfillment thing. american actors who look like tom hiddleston might not get as many roles because they don't have the accent to really "complete" the film archetype.
I personally look way more like hiddleston and I know plenty of young men here (southern california) who do too. I wouldn't say it's the norm but it isn't the norm in england either. I guess what I'm saying is, perhaps it's only the norm in film and TV. slightly different standards of beauty don't necessarily mean the people are physically different, it could just mean the aspiration and the people elevated to that status are different. just speculation, of course
I didn't think Timmy's hair could get any more perfect but it did.
Timmy is also the perfect Spike Spiegel just based on how he's looking now!
Exactly. The man looks like a painting and he’s talented. He’s won lmao
@@imshadi naaah... Spike is 27. Timothee looks too much like a baby still. We'll have to wait some years for that.
stillwaitingforblackmetalrecords yeah that’s why he’s playing a 15 year old in this movie lol

I can't believe how perfect this cast is.
@ab3defC8ijkmnmopqrxt Small change, the actress sounded very in tune with who Liet is as a character.
@ab3defC8ijkmnmopqrxt It is a small change... get over it.
@ab3defC8ijkmnmopqrxt We've seen your previous reply, still a small change.
@ab3defC8ijkmnmopqrxt A gender and race swap that has no impact on the story whatsoever is a small change. Your replied doesn't helped that much.
@ab3defC8ijkmnmopqrxt You really don't get it, aren't you? Even the 80s movie is not canon to the books and new 2020 movie. 🙄🤷♂️🤦♂️
As someone who has been to Wadi Rum in Jordan, Rebecca's description of the desert at 12:08 is absolutely spot on. Nature at its most awe-inspiring. No wonder it is such a favourite location for filmmakers.
I honestly don’t think they could’ve picked a better person to play Paul Atreides and the director knew that, I feel like it’s part of the reason he chose to do this project now
It's interesting how after the trailer, the entire cast looked astonished, overwhelmed with emotion, excited, proud, nostalgic, everything! Very, very few times I've seen this kind of reaction from a cast to their own scenes / trailers. We're in for a feast.
Except for Bardem. He has the look of, "That was pretty cool. But what's for lunch?" But I think that's just his personality. You're right about the rest of the cast though. As for Denis, that's the look of a proud father.
I'm sure they're actually excited but at the same time... what do you expect. If I was at work and they were filming my reaction to a corporate video, I'd ham it up.
Is that a personnel attack ?
Yeah I think we are! Great cast. I’m a big Oscar Isaac fan, I’d watch anything he’s in. This looks fantastic!
I like this interviewer...he can have his own show.
Too bad it would be a dumpster fire of a show
He do have his own show. He is a late night tv show Host
Yea he would do well on cbs
Right??? Such a wasted talent, i hope he has his own show

I love how big movies are heading back to real backgrounds and less CGI. Using it in the right instance, while having it mostly be a set truly puts you in that world. I love where we heading
Stop it. This movie literally FULL of cgi.
@@Miniweet9167 Notice they said 'less', not 'no'. They're filming on location, using sets built out of real things. You may not notice, but your brain does
I read DUNE in quarantine and I have to say Timothee Chalamet was an absolutely perfect choice for Paul Atreides. I am so excited for this movie!
Dune was like the Star Wars before there was Star Wars.
That's like saying a lemon is like lemonade before there was lemonade.....
The whole cast is so perfect
Chalamet said he only did 2 scenes on green screen and everthing else was practical effects.
This movie is gonna be amazing.
Well, technically the lack of a green screen does not mean "practical effects" at all anymore. There will be lots of set enhancment, digital assets and vfx trickery in those "practical effects" shots.
@@Schmidtelpunkt I mean, probably. But it should still be said that Villeneuve's ability to visually tell a story is (in my opinion) almost a given at this point. Even if there is an abundance of VFX, if his earlier work is any indication it will be appropriate and visually stunning.
@@donovangallaway3632 Arrival certainly showed that.
I am just a tad annoyed about that "practical effects" nonsense. At what point will people realize that they buy *all* VFX they don't see and in fact are entirely incapable of seeing the difference between a "practical effect" and CGI in the 99% of the cases where they simply are not aware that something is made digitally? In the 90ies one might have gone through as a connisseur by looking down on anything artifical, but at this point those claims mainly show in which side of Dunning Kruger valley people are.
@@Schmidtelpunkt Lol Well said
Herr Schmidt Watch Corridor Crew! They make a lot of VFX videos but they also love shooting practical. It’s just about being smart about using VFX, using it (or not using it) to move the story forward rather than just to showcase tech or skill or resources.
That said, it doesn’t necessarily mean that if a movie uses 90% practical shots and effects, it’ll be good. So much comes into making good films, and the primary factors are always the writing and direction. For the plethora of complex ideas and introspection that is Dune, the grandiosity of the physical sets, the artistry in cinematography, and authenticity of costume design may help the epicness of it, but good direction, acting, screenplay, and script are far bigger determinants for success than the visuals. A film can be visually beautiful and award-winning but fail to convey the message or express the story well enough to just leave the viewer in awe for a long time. I really really hope the movie will be amazing and not go Blade Runner 2049 (visually stunning but very dry and a long slog).
i aint gay but damn timmy tune it down
I love that😂
Insert Steven Kim's "You are gay" meme
he's so charming my god bro
I'm only watching this after watching the film, and seeing their energy it's no wonder that the movie turned out so well. They are really passionate about it and understand their characters and look like they really grew to like their filming mates through it. I hope it helps Dune gain a bigger audience and changes people, helps them realise they are old souls.
Denis Villeneuve always gets everything right. Whenever I watch one of his films I'm always captivated the whole way through.
He has a style to his films which makes everything feel real and grounded. The sound design much like the cast choice is always perfect with Villeneuve's films aswell. This is without question one of my absolute favourite films alongside Blade runner 2049
I feel like you could punch Jason and he'd still laugh and smile.
he wouldnt feel it
you'd just end up hurting yourself 😆
And then ... he'd punch you back, then go have a shot and a beer.
He’d laugh and smile and go, “Nice try.”
You’d then spend the next hour trying to get out of a wedgie.
I went to Vancouver, BC for an overnight vacation and coincidentally stayed at the hotel where the "Stargate: Atlantis" cast and crew were holding their final wrap party. When we entered the lobby we heard Momoa's laughing from the other side of this massive space. It seemed like a really cheery laugh that lead to others around him joining in. I was so far away i could not hear any of the conversation, but boy, that laugh really traveled.
It seems like forever since we have had a movie come out THIS epic! One that is not just a studio project designed and manufactured with the typical Hollywood formula to extract so many millions of dollars fromt he public...but one crafted from a man's passion for the source material...one made to bring a vision to life. I am sure the movie won't be perfect, but DAMN, it certainly looks close based on what little we have seen so far! I can't remember being this excited for a movie release since...Lord of the Rings, maybe? CAN. NOT. WAIT.
It is a remake of the 1984 Dune.? Not an epic if it a re-make IMO
@@EcoHumanist it's not. It is an adaptation of 2/3rds of the first book.
EcoHumanist it’s not a remake. It’s a re-imagining of the same material. If we applied your way of thinking, the LOTR trilogy would not be epic, but a remake of earlier efforts. I’ve loved the DUNE series since I was a young girl, probably as much as I’ve loved LOTR, and I’m truly excited to see this film, since earlier adaptations did it it so little justice.
@@TheCatWitch63 So you don't like the 1984 adaption? I've never read the books
@@DavidLopez-tj7jl I enjoy the 1984 adaptation for the limitations of what it could do. The books are an incredibly deep series, and difficult to adapt to film. It's worth the read.
Timothee seems like a perfect choice to play Muad'Dib. This cast is a freakin' dream.
Huge Dune fan here, just finished re-reading it and I'm SO excited for this movie. So many great actors, Timothée Chalamet is probably one of the best actors of his generation. I cannot wait to see him as Paul Atreides
The themes of the novels are about how man creates governments and religions, the great leader and messiah myths in order to organize and control society and how these things inevitably take on a life of their own that instead give rise to the worst aspects of humanity overriding whatever good intentions they may have started out with. The ecological concurrent theme is also about control, the attempt to bend nature to ones needs and will and the unintended consequences that ultimately shows the futility of the idea of control. Humans most often show an inability to control themselves individually which dooms their attempts to control themselves as a species or the world around them.
Very astute summary.
Nailed it.
hell to the yesss
This summary is everything, thank you for this well detailed and insightful summary. I need to read this books, any idea where I can get them pls, anyone ? I'll really appreciate it.
@@winnieachodo6238 A library.
Isaacs took the "should have gone for the head" advice literally.
Underrated comment. xD
The head shot was awesome. Brolin should have returned fire though. lol.
@@absolutezero6423 he should've said: "I don't even know you."
The second best part of this great interview(preceeded only by Oscar Isaac on Josh Brolin's head) is Timothee saying "I'd like to say I encountered it in my youth...", Stephen politely retaining his laughter, and Denis' break giving Stephen permission to jointly lol at the youthful prince of all youths reflecting on his youth xxxs
The little bit where they talk about how Denis Villeneuve understands how central Jessica's decisions are to the story are a key indicator that, unlike previous adapters, Villeneuve understands Dune. I cannot wait to see this movie.
How gorgeous is Rebecca I mean come on she is so beautiful
She is perfect good lawd have mercy
You read my mind...
She's so hot in Doctor Sleep, and that accent...
The most beautiful in the Universe. She's just so amazing.
i've never seen her looking so good as with that tan, the desert suits her
If they want to cast a Kid Loki, chalomet would fit the bill. Geez that smile.
This film has removed almost all white people so therefor could win an oscar.
You big gay
@@TheBelrick lol...cry harder
He could also play Wiccan Wanda’s son!!
@@Rash23215 not crying white hating racist. just making the world aware. one day perhaps whites will hate you lot right back? wouldnt that be interesting.
By the way, Stephen Colbert is not just a fan like host-said-i-am-a-fan-to-be-polite but he's a genuine Dune geek! HE IS ONE OF US!!!
Great casting… Timothee really looks like he could be Oscar and Rebeccas kid
It's always really heartening to see Colbert be a genuine fanboy. You can tell he really cares about good stories, not just Tolkien books. I thought this would be corny but I really enjoyed the interview. Can't wait to see the movie!
OMG Rebecca is absolutely Lady Jessica.. woah
This movie is going to be a visual masterpiece for sure.
anyone else here after finally watching the movie? it blew me away, absolutely fantastic
Yes! Was very impressed
Yes!
“You have so much potential.” Every guidance counselor.
Eduardo Castellon yeah, but it is true. Every person has so much potential, but it is only that person who can realize it, and unfortunately that is hard... too hard for most of us, and most of us never rise up to that challenge. The world is a story of wasted potential.
@Ben Lutz what's gc?
Joey is Losing Weight that was beautiful to read and it’s true.
Why am I reminded of Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo Antoine: I'm a gigolo. Deuce: A giga-who? Antoine: Women pay me to give them pleasure. Deuce: I'm gonna kill my guidance counselor.
And “I hope you live” is my therapist
This is beautiful. The cast is beautiful. They have timothee chalamet.
What else could they possibly need?
Oh wait.. ZENDAYA.
Perfection at its peak.
Thats just the first half. Denis has yet to add more amazing actors to play:
Princess Irulan
St. Alia of the Knife or Alia Atreides
Feyd Rautha Harkonnen
The Padishah Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV
Timothee is so damn intelligent.
Timothee has the most intelligent and intense stare, you can see his brain going at a million miles and then he opens his mouth and says the most artful, wise beyond his years answer. I love Zendaya but watch her pale in comparison in this interview. That boy is definitely heading for Daniel Day Lewis status.
perfect casting for paul
I agree. I think it’s because he has come close to academic reading and theory and studied at Columbia university something like cultural anthropology - lots of sociology theory I bet. People who have never read sociological and cultural theory don’t have that vocabulary and the words he so wonderfully incorporated. It’s very interesting to hear an actor speak this way - but it’s really not normal.
I agree Timothee is wise beyond his years, wonderful gifted actor and is heading for The great quality acting of Daniel Day Lewis.
I am so glad someone else picked up on this. The first half of the movie with Paul was some of the best acting I’ve arguably ever seen, and I know how to pick em! Voila!
Chalamet is a wonderful actor, but your comment shows utter disrespect for Day-Lewis' body of work, which proves versatility infinitely more than Timothee has been able to display in his young career. If anything, he's at risk for being typecasted as the ever-angsty teenager until he grows a few gray hairs.
I am 57 and the anticipation on Dune is like no other movie. Frank Herbert's amazing book, then given to the brilliant Denis Villeneuve who then went about building the perfect cast for it. Can not wait. (And then Pink Floyd Eclipse as that trailer music). Hopefully I will be out of lock down (Melbourne Australia) before the movie hits the cinema. I also think this was the first time the cast had seen the trailer, which is a great moment to watch their reactions. PS. Interesting fact. Denis Villeneuve has now made 2 movies that had Sean Young in the original. As long as he stops there and doesn't do Ace Ventura : Pet Detective next we're good.
I'm so ready for this. Step out of 2020 and into Arrakis for a couple of hours.
I'm 50 and have been a Dune fan since I was 16 when I found the first book in a book swap shop.
I devoured the book and have been reading them all again and again and again.
While I loved the first movie and the sci-fi series, this has the potential to be absolutely epic in every way.
Hopefully this leads to the entire universe making it onto the screen.
I cannot wait for it to hit theaters.
We are the same age... and share the same anticipation! Fingers crossed for the ability to actually see this on the big screen.
I'm in my late 30's, and almost finished with the first book. Also Floyd is one of my favorite bands. I'm so hyped for this!!!
Jason Momoa is disgusting he's got a filthy mouth and he cannot act it's ruining it for me by having him in the movie everyone else seems decent the cast in the first movie in 1984 was phenomenal maybe having sting in it but he wasn't even that bad but Jason Momoa I cannot stand
Love these extra scenes. Wasn’t expecting this so soon after that mesmerizing trailer.
Holy shit,. The casting is spectacular, I haven't said spectacular in years.
I hope Timothee transmits strength and inspiration in his role to all audiences!
Rebecca Ferguson’s dream-like beauty, aside from her voice, calm expressiveness, acting skills, all came out in her character and made her perfect for it.
Love the Pink Floyd. It's a nod to the original attempt to put dune to screen in which legendary director Alejandro Jodoroski got Pink Floyd to agree to do the soundtrack for his production. Jodoroski's dune didn't make it past pre production but is the birth of modern sci fi
Honestly I would've loved if somehow David Gilmour or Roger Waters scored some parts in the film, but that will never happen sadly...
I'm not feeling them using modern Western pop culture music for their soundtracks. It somehow makes the ambience superficial and too "Earthlike".
I hope the whole movie isn't like that.
The soundtrack in Lynch's Dune was one of the best things about the movie, which helped make it the cult classic it is.
It gave the film an "epic" feel to it.
I'd rather hear an original soundtrack.
The setting is supposed to convey humans thousands of years into the future, with different worlds and culture.
Nothing against Pink Floyd though. I've been listening to them for almost 40 years.
@@LoboKhan1 Totally agree. It's probably just the trailer and I'm trusting Hans Zimmer will provide an epic soundtrack. Otherwise they'll have to change the lyric to 'But the sun is eclipsed by the moons'.
@@LoboKhan1 Jodoroski was a precursor to Lynch and got Pink Floyd to agree to make new music for the film. I guess they weren't available anymore 🤷♂️
@@ToMgRoEbE
Maybe I'm just a weirdo about it, but when I read a story like Dune, I'm not thinking rock or pop music songs to go along with it.
I wouldn't have wanted to watch Excalibur with rock/pop songs either.
It's actually a turn off when I hear that type of music in movies that are supposed to be serious.
Could you imagine Beatles songs to Game of Thrones ?
It would be ridiculous.
Just my opinion though.
Some people might like that sort of thing.
love how this interview seems like they're actually together, live. So well done
They probably were.
Same lights, same sound, same ear piece... I mean... Everything's fake on TV you know
I like the fact that no matter how smart, insightful, talented and kind Chalamet is, these two will keep on off-the-cuff remind him how he looks like a teenager.
Chalamet is damn near perfect casting. He's hotter than MacLachlan and has them dreamy eyes. Don't lie to yourself, you'd think about changing teams too.
I'm glad men are finally seeing the light and understanding that it's totally okay to admit you'd make some ~exceptions. Women have been very open about lady crushes for ages!
I know...me too
There is absolutely nothing wrong with man crushes, embrace it 😊😊😊
I mean between Chalamet and Momoa, there's something there for everyone.
I'm on both teams. I'd tap that in a heartbeat.
Why do I feel like that Duncan Idaho vs Khal Drogo "Fan Question" was actually from Stephen? Haha
unsure why that question even comes u multiple times for Jason as we saw the Khal die in GOT in the most, honestly, lamest way possible.
@@84jesterx Mamoa, if he ever read the novels, had a great chance to say, "Duncan Idaho, because he never dies."
@@wurdle Never TRULY dies* ;-)
@@wurdle Leto II would disagree. ^^
@@mori1bund Why? SPOILER: If you read all the novels ... yeah, even the last two ... Idaho's around long after Leto II s gone. :)
The more I watch Timotee the more I am impressed.
Steve Colbert is very excited! This movie looks great! What a cast..love Timothee - he's continues to be an amazing actor.
Oh my fucking god, Timothy Chalamet is wearing the Atreides colors.
"My argument was: They didn´t shoot Jaws in a swimming pool" haha :D
They did. Did they ?
they sent a Hawaiian Aquaman to an eternal desert with no water, a world so bone dry a single tear is cherished
But he still has no problem wasting water by peeing on strange things to get answers.😅
This is a huge casting mistake by Dennis everyone else I can live with but Jason Momoa as Duncan is a joke it's ruined the movie feel for me already yes one actor can have that impact does any remember Judge Dredd with the horrible Rob Schneider the trailer was actually good then they took Sylvester Stallone out of the helmet and uniform probably cuz of him and that the stupid Rob Schneider in that movie ruined it the first 15 minutes was great until they took Stallone out of the costume
You give water to the dead!
@@TheBatmanjb Spoilers, but I think Jason is a perfect casting for the Kwisatz Haderach.
@@TheBatmanjb Don't know about the Judge Dredd stuff but I agree on the casting. I have no problem with Jason but he is wrong for Idaho. Idaho is not a big hulking dude. He is a fighter but he is lithe and tuned. I'm no authority on Hollywood actors but I love me some Dune and I just picture Duncan as someone very different.
That is one absolutely GORGEOUS Family
Damn, Timothee is such a good actor. Now I want him as Robin in The Batman! 😂
What about Robin Hood?
TIMOTHÉE IS SO BEAUTIFUL !! Can’t wait for the movie !!!!
This interview got me more excited than the trailer actually
Didn't totally understand the Timothée Chalamet obssession until I ended up watching this live. He comes off as very wise and deeply intelligent throughout this interview and all the other ones I have seen since then. I always found him to be very attractive but there is clearly alot more to him then just good looks.
This video is 3 years old, the first movie is behind us, and was stunning. We await the second beginning next year- and with any luck, cross fingers, it will inspire 3 and 4- compleye the series!
Jason Mamoa would play a character with a name like Duncan Idaho. “Sup, brah. Name’s Duncan. Duncan Idaho.” (Flips hair)
That’s hilarious. I can see that’s so clearly. Perfect.
Later in the movie, Duncan Idaho has a son, and names him Arizona Idaho. Then Duncan says that he's Raising Arizona. ☺
I hope “he” comes back if the movie does great I’m trying my best not to spoil plot wise
@@meurglys , I like how "Idaho" is just some word out of history, in the context of the book. Pretty ballsy of Herbert to stick it in there.
Flips hair, hits blunt, steals your girlfriend
T. Chalamet is such a good actor :)
I watched Dune Part 2 yesterday and Timothee Chalamet really impressed me with his acting. I had no idea he was such a good actor
[2:04]
I really screamed when I saw Timothée.
My obsession scares me.
*I can stare at Timothée Chalameys face forever gawd he's like a saint*
He needs to make it more malleable in the films he does. I saw a role where he wears the same introspective look on his face for almost the whole movie.
@@dingorex more malleable? Watch "call me by your name", man.
@@heatherbukowski2102 excellent reply
6:30 Oscar issac, thank you. I haven't laughed that hard all year.
what did he say?
Gurney Halleck is supposed to be an “ugly lump of a man” so they hit the nail on the head there.
Man, I love Stephen Colbert so much. The passion he has for works of art
bought a copy of dune bc of these trailers... timothee looks exactly how i imagined paul
