Thanks Teenca. I'll keep my plans for Comic Con 2020 at a minimum level since so few people are interested in it.

I just joined the Dune reddit page. Haven't posted anything yet, just reading some of the threads and getting a sense of the fan page. With 37K+ fans there, surely there will be loads of information to uncover, especially as we get closer to Dune's release date. www.reddit.com/r/dune/

I don't subscribe to Scott's cyncism, and I often believe that film critics and analysts can over analyze things to fit a certain narrative and to fit their biased beliefs. They keep bringing up the absolutely brilliant Blade Runner 2049 "failure" as a reason to get nervous about Denis Villenueve's Dune. There is no reason to truly believe that lessons learned from the misfire of BR 2049, hasn't been taken into account in protecting Dune from the same fate.
Here are some hand-wringing, pearl clutching excerpts from Scott's article:

Yeah, a little. But I'm also a Star Wars fan, so I like Oscar Isaac.

This dude saw some raw first look reels of Dune today, he was amazed, and that's an understatement. I asked him the one question about Timmy as Paul and his response was simply perfect.

So exciting!!!
I still don't like the lack of promotion from the studio. I am sure there strategy is to carpet bomb the public in the latter half of 2020 but you want the casual moviegoer to be put on notice of this film as soon as possible. And from talking to friends who enjoy movies I have to bring up Dune in conversation as it is not on their radar. We need a wonderful teaser to get some buzz going and some magazine articles with images.

11 months before the movie, so no promotion is okay now.
Simone, thank you for drawing my attention to Susan's tweet about the Hungarian releasing date. It's Dec 17, because new movies are released on Thursday over here. I am happy for this news. Even though Knives Out and Little Women was postponed recently, I don't think the same will happen with Dune. It's a big movie after all.

The film is still in editing mode, it's way too early for any promotion. Be patient, this is a heavy sci-fi, you can't rush genius. We should see something at Comic Con in late July.

I agree with everything you are saying but because Dune is not as popular as Marvel, DC, Star Wars and we want it to be a big hit for Timothee and to continue the series I think at the very least some production articles or character shots should start appearing in public. I actually have no concerns about the quality of the movie with who is involved. But with the movie-going public so fractured these days between cinema and streaming, I hope Dune finds a large audience. If I had to predict, I bet Dune will beat box office expectations like Little Women and thrive on word of mouth and maybe some awards competition. I too cannot wait to see the finished product!
