Alright this has been bothering me since I saw the film.
I always thought it was said “hark-onnen”. I believe that’s how it was said in the original film, and I think that’s how the various hardcore and metal groups who have made reference to the film, like Shai Hulud and TBDM, have referred to them.
But then in the movie they’re being called the “har-konnens”.
I don’t like it sir.

Only in Hollywood can the words "Florence Pugh is either going to star in the sequel to Dune or play Madonna in her biopic" and make complete sense.

They signed Zendaya for like, three minutes of screen time, but didn't get commitments for several roles that are going to be pretty imporant?
Seems like an issue given how quickly they want to deliver the follow up.

If you mean roles for the sequel, they didn't decide until after the release of the first part that they were even going to do a second part.

Seems a pretty big name to cast as a character whose practically a footnote in the books.

Wasn't sure if starting a new thread or bumping this one was better, but more casting has been confirmed. Florence Pugh has been confirmed as playing Princess Irulan, Christopher Walken will be playing Emperor Shaddam IV, and Austin Butler (who played Elvis Presley in the recent biopic) has been cast as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen.

I want Florence Pugh to play the role as if she were Paige from WWE.

Chris Walken as the Emperor is a hell of a choice.

Is this movie worth watching?
I tried reading the novel and it was a stale waffle of a book. I couldn't make it past the first 100 pages. So, the movie never appealed to me. It has decent reviews, but then a number of films I found an utter bore have also got great reviews from the so-called critics.

Saw Dune Part 2 this weekend, was a good conclusion to the first part. Austin Butler was good as Feyd Rautha.

Saw Dune Part 2 this weekend, was a good conclusion to the first part. Austin Butler was good as Feyd Rautha. I watched it this weekend as well on IMAX. It f***ING RULED. Go see it on the biggest screen you can if you are at all interested. Javier Bardem as Stilgar stole the show for me. The Geidi Prime parts with the Harkonnen were so freaking cool. Even the Harkonnen's fireworks are f***ing weird and creepy. Minor criticisms: I didn't buy Christopher Walken as the Emperor. He was just Christopher Walken in a bathrobe. Zendaya felt a bit out of place as well. Pacing wise I felt like it seemed to rush from Paul drinking the Water of Life to the conclusion. One row ahead of me this guy fell asleep. HARD. He slumped over on the lady he was with and started snoring like a jet engine about 20 minutes in. She stared at him for a moment in disbelief, then when she woke him up he dramatically raised his hands in front of him in terror.

Saw it opening night, and I just did not like it.
I'm a huge Dune fan, having read the six Dune books about four times now. So I can't help but approach these movies as a Dune fan, I can't judge the films as just films in and of themselves.
Now the first movie was 99% perfection. I loved everything about it, and the minimalist approach was surprisingly effective. Compare it to the 1984 version, and the general sentiment that the book is just too dense with world building that it can't be adapted into a single movie adequately.
The second I found just too damn long and self indulgent, and didn’t adequately explain some core concepts. Several scenes could simply have been shortened with nothing lost. Attacking the Harkonnen's harvester and later the smuggler's, great scenes that could have been significantly cut down. The entire scene involving the Atreidies atomic stockpile was completely unnecessary, and not even in the book to begin with.
I feel the biggest core concept it messed up was making clear what Paul Muad'dib was and was capable of as the Kwizatch Haderach, and why the Bene Gesserit feared him so much as they could not control him.
I WILL give the movie tremendous credit for the ending, when Paul initiates the holy war, and clearly demonstrates that he is NOT the "good guy". That is true to Frank Herbert's ideas he wanted to get across in his work.
I've seen the first movie three times in theaters, and bought the blu Ray the second it came out. The second one? I don't think I'll be watching it again.

I’m lucky enough to live near King of Prussia PA, which has one of the few 70mm IMAX theaters in the world. It was just awesome watching it that way.
I found it interesting that it really veered away from traditional blockbusters tropes (long stretches of quiet scenes, a morally ambiguous if not downright heel turn ending, etc) and audiences are flocking to it. I’m really hopeful we’re seeing a return to auteur-driven pictures being huge hits (following the Barbenheimer one-two punch of last summer) and the MCU and James Gunn take that to heart as well.
