Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers Show, I'm your host Paul, and in this video we're breaking down Dune Part 3. The new teaser has just dropped online, and in this video we're going to be going through it all. I'm actually working on a big in-depth breakdown of Dune Part 1, and I've just read both that and its follow-up Dune Messiah. This film is going to be based primarily around the latter, but it's clear that Danny's doing some big changes. So in this video I want to go through it all and hopefully give you a clearer picture of what's going to be in the movie. If you enjoy it, please hit the thumbs up and make sure you subscribe for videos like this every day. That out of the way, thank you for clicking this. Now let's get into Dune Part 3.
Peace is a good thing. Why should I refuse? is meant to destroy you. Okay, so we begin this trail with Chani and Paul arguing as Chani tells Paul he promised her he would never take power in his name. Due to the hair lengths and stuff, I'm guessing this is in the aftermath of part 2, where Paul is now the most powerful person in the Juniverse. As she's giving Paul shit, we can also see glimpses of Paul leading his jihad over the last 17 years. Now this is a minor little change, as in the book it was 12 years, but yeah, it's 5 years longer. However, we can see Fremen running into battle, which I'm guessing is happening in the opening. The start of the film's being described as being like saving Private Ryan, and we'll probably see the jihad during the film's opening. This is followed by a shot of Paul emerging from a crater, soldiers surrounding him, and a forest burning in the background.
speaks to the devastation he's brought forth and how harrowing his holy war has been. We also get a quick shot of Paul and Chani where the latter is clearly pregnant. Now I think that these scenes are probably a mix between real events that Paul's remembering from his life before the jihad but it might even be visions of possible futures that could have resulted from it. Throughout the films we've had lots of little flashes of things where it looked like they were happy and I think the pregnancy thing and happy moments here might be an alternate future. Chani does eventually bear his children though, so potentially this changes her, but I don't know, it's just a bit weird to have her arguing one scene and then being all lovey-dovey in the next. However, throughout G Messiah, Paul's visions gradually become more and more of a burden on him, and he begins to question their true meaning. You'll notice that during the scenes, Paul's rocking his Atreides locks, and not the shaved headlock we see him sporting for most of the trailer. I do think at this point to these bits being flashbacks, but yeah, I also think the idea of alternate timelines and features is worth discussing. We then get another shot, similar to the one in the last trailer of Paul standing before his massive army.
This seems to be the scene from the trailer where we see Paul address his army and then overhear him saying I'm not afraid to die. This is also most likely a scene taking place after Paul's jihad when he's finally conquered the universe. This is something we didn't actually get in the book and instead the text picks up in the aftermath where we basically learn things through a history lesson. However I've always thought that was a stupid way to start stuff and yeah Villeneuve's just making this a big spectacle to really grip you in the opening. We then could have seen Channy and their twins sitting on a sand dune and Channy takes off her blue scarf.
She then lets this float in the wind and it flaps away which is quite symbolic and that's because the item itself is known as a Nozoni scarf. These are worn by Fremen women to show they're romantically committed and we see Chani wearing this and Paul's visions of them together. So her letting it go here could symbolize that she's leaving him behind and taking the twins with her. You can also see that this shot is from the perspective of some kind of viewfinder meaning that Paul or someone else is watching them at this moment. Leading to the next shot we then see someone picking up the scarf and then cut to a close-up of Paul.
Now this is most likely Paul picking up the scarf but I also think it could be a clever little editing trick and we might see someone else pick this up and use it against Paul. I think that might be Robert Pattinson's character Sightail who's someone that's known as a sand dancer. This is basically the June version of a shapeshifter so that could be something that he uses against the character. We can also see Paul wearing the scarf and some of the promo material, so I feel like this is going to act like a MacGuffin for the film, in the same way that the ring was that in part 1 and 2. The twins Leto and Gamina aren't born until the end of the book, and even there, they are only babies. Here, they are clearly toddlers, if it is indeed them, so it might be a vision, although Denny could have potentially altered things. Shoutouts to Feature First for also pointing out that this and the later shot with Princess Erlan are also direct nods to Lawrence of Arabia. Herbert based the original Dune book around that story, and yeah, it's just nice to see Denny homage it as well.
We then see a field of ash scattered with bodies and what I believe is Alia swiping her feet through the ash before then panning to a field of bodies strung up on giant Xs. For the ash planet I think we may be seeing a world destroyed by Paul's conquest or perhaps the aftermath of one of the most deadly attacks on Paul's life. This happens when an atomic bomb called a stone burner is detonated in Arakeen. The blast from this is so bright it results in Paul going blind which I'm pretty sure we see later in the trailer. This was also done as a way to potentially stop his sight however the plan did backfire and Paul was able to perceive the world around him through using his prescience alone.
The Fremen do have a rule where the blind must go off into the desert on their own as potentially they could hold the rest of the tribe back. So this puts them in a bit of a predicament and the Fremen as well who don't want to lose their leader. This shot of Alia looks like it's also referencing a moment on Selesa Secundus in part 1. Their bodies of soldiers were crucified upside down and it just shows how similar Paul's reign of terror is. The guys on the crosses should really put some clothes on as well and if they want to do that they should check out our merch store right below the video. There we have our June Spiceballer t-shirt which will show people how much you love Shai Halud. We also have lots of other shirts on there too that cover a range of films and shows. Plus you get 10% off your first order and more discounts for the more shirts you buy so get yourself over there and get yourself a deal. Also feel like Alia walking through the desert could be playing off that vision that Paul had of someone walking in front of him basically destroying everything around him. During this scene we can also hear a voiceover from Jason Momoa saying you've destroyed the-
This references how many worlds that Paul's war has cost but it also symbolises how they'll cost the lives of those he loves. Speaking of Jason Momoa we then get another scene in the teaser of Paul meeting his old mentor Duncan Idaho. or at least a clone of him called Haight. Now we talked about this a bit in our last trailer breakdown, but the reason that Idaho is back is because he's actually a Gola that's given to Paul by the Benny Talaxu. These Golas can be grown from a single cell of a dead body, and they manufactured Haight to use against the emperor. And his name is Haight. That's subtext that, mate. No, but Haight also means life in Arabic, and it symbolizes how the Gola will obtain a new life as Duncan Idaho. But Haight has no memories of his life as Duncan Idaho, though Paul does wonder if he'll be able to get those memories back. They've sent him in, hoping that his childhood mentor will disarm him, and that Haight will assassinate the figure once Paul's at his lowest. Paul wants to keep him around, though, to see if he can regain who he was, and the Talaxu...
also kind of treat it as a research mission as well. They're curious if hate will remember too and it plays in the themes of one regaining their humanity which also applies to Paul. Now this scene of hate being brought before Paul and then being locked up in a cell it seems to be adopting their first meeting in the book. The cell scene especially I think will happen first and they don't fight but Paul questions how much he remembers about Duncan's life and why he's been sent there to kill him. He then allows him to stay because it's just something that he hasn't foreseen in his visions.
The pair then have a sword fight like what we get here and in the book Duncan was actually Paul's swordmaster. You can also see Alia on the throne behind them as well which is vast and expansive. Alia somewhat falls in love with hate throughout the story and Duncan becomes forever tied to the house to the point that he's cloned like over and over and over again. Throughout all the sequels they just keep cloning Duncan because apparently the guy has a magic penis as well. You also hear Duncan admitting that he was sent to kill Paul which probably happens later on after this initial meeting. We then see Idaho standing next to Leto's skull which in the book allows hate to access more of his memories. The book even says that when hate's flying over the pyramid where it's kept he feels Leto's hand on his shoulder.
this could be the moment where hate regains his memories and rebels against his creator's plants. In between this we also get a ship flying past a gigantic statue of Paul. Big ego there much mate. There's also a pyramid in the background which feels like an upside down version of the pyramid in Blade Runner. Villeneuve of course went on to make its sequel and I feel like here he's giving a little nod to that. We then get our first look at Robert Pattinson's Skytale. Beside him are the Bene Gesserit and Bene Talaxu and there's also a metal sarcophagus that floats into the room. We don't see exactly who he is in the sarcophagus but I think this might be our first look at the character Edric. He's an ambassador for the spacing guild and they're all basically part of a conspiracy to assassinate the emperor. Now at first I thought this was
Skytel presenting the Gola, but the Warner Brothers official June wallpaper titles confirm this is in fact a Space and Guild sarcophagus. So yeah, it's likely that. Now after the Bene Chesserit sisterhood, the guild was actually the second mental physical training school established after the butlerian jihad. The navigators are senior rank members who've been physically transformed by taking massive amounts of spice to give them a high level of prescience. Their suits are actually anti-gravity tanks filled with spice and this is in order to maintain their prescient abilities. Edric's involvement actually served to shield their conspiracy from the emperor's prescient since oracles had difficulty seeing others in the timescape. We also get another shot of Edric later on when we see a sarcophagus being pulled into some kind of machine. As we flash through these scenes, we also get a beautiful shot of the Fremen seeing the sea for the first time. This is actually ripped directly from the book where a character called Farrakh describes the moment. For the film though,
they are using Stelgar, but either way, I think it's building off this bit. I heard there was a thing called a sea. It is very hard to believe in a sea when you have lived only here among our dunes. We have no seas. Men of dune had never known a sea. It was too much for my mind to picture. Yet men I knew said they had seen this marvel. I thought they lied, but I had to know for myself. It was for this reason that I enlisted. There was a sunset, Barak said presently. One of the elder artists might have painted such a sunset. Had red in the color of the glass in my bottle. There was gold, blue.
It was on the world they called Enfia, the one where I led my legion to victory. Now this is likely Stelgar during Paul's Jihad and it's one of the wonders of the world that he ends up destroying, which makes you wonder of the world, should he be doing it? We then get a quick shot of Princess Errolan all messed up and bald. Now this doesn't happen in the book, but it may be showing her getting caught up in the aftermath of the stone burner or... maybe a bird just shit on her. We then get a better look at Skytale as he's meeting with the Bene Gesserit and Princess Errolan to devise the conspiracy. Skytale himself is part of the Benny Talaxu who are a group of genetic engineers and practitioners of science that have led to disgust by the rest of the empire. In Messiah, Skytale is sent to Wallach 9 as the Talaxu representative in the joint conspiracy to kill Paul. This meeting is most likely what we're seeing here and it's where Princess Errolan is then brought into the plan. She's tasked with preventing Chani from getting pregnant and this is so that she can carry Paul's child herself and keep the bloodline plan in order. We will talk more about Skytale's shapeshifting in just a moment but I love how they made Patson into an absolute freak here which is almost exactly how they're
in the Dune books. Two small men are like his twins, almost chinless round faces, pug noses, tiny mouths, black button eyes and short crop white hair that stood up from their heads like bristles on a brush. There's also a quick shot of soldiers infiltrating Paul's palace. I'm not sure what this is but we do see Elia as well and she could be guarding against a hit on Paul's life. We then get my favorite shot of the whole trailer with Paul standing in front of a giant moon. Illuminates him as a silhouette and I love it not just because it's an amazing shot but also because in Messiah Paul is tortured with ominous visions of a falling moon. They're used to represent Chani's potential death and it also represents his falling empire and how the light's closing on his rule.
That terrible vision of a lost moon. The vision suggested a monstrous loss of individual security. Perhaps he'd seen his civilization fall, toppled by its own pretensions. A moon. A moon. A falling moon. This scene in particular also seems to be adapting a bit from the book where Paul's standing atop of Chin Rock after losing his sight. Paul stood in the darkness outside the sea edge. Oracular Vision told him it was night. That moonlight silhouetted the shrine atop Chin Rock high on his left. This was a memory-saturated place, his first sea edge, where he and Chani. I must not think of Chani, he told himself. We then get Chani hitting some drum sand, which I believe is her calling the worm that we see later on.
We also get another shot that looks like a pre-jihad flashback of the Fremen bowing to Paul with Princess Erlan there as well. This looks like the end of June part 2 where Chani refused to bow. Juxtaposing this we then cut to Chani crying and seemingly in pain and then to her walking across the sand as Paul says, the future has a way of talking to me. We then see a flash of gold light shooting towards the screen. Now I think that this might be the golden path. This is a future timeline that leads to the best outcome but a lot of pain and sacrifice has to come from it first. Eventually Paul's sunlighto ends up walking it, he turns into a giant worm and basically oppresses humanity for thousands and thousands of years.
How about this is on purpose and out of this comes a new stronger civilization so it all works out for the best in the end. Here's line of the future talking to him though that happens over two cuts of Chani and Payne and then her walking through the sand symbolizing the two possible futures he could have. He could let her die in order to walk this golden path or prevent her death at the cost of everything he and the Fremen have fought for. How about we then see Paul looking rough and sane but I can't see what's ahead. I was a fucking good impression of that as well. This shows how despite being able to see all time at once Paul's vision of the future can't help him prevent it. Now this is a major theme of Messiah as Paul's visions start making him doubt how he's interpreting them.
This could also be towards the end of the movie after the birth of the twins when Paul was only able to see the birth of his daughter. But this did make him think he'd lost his powers. The next scene then shows Chani and Paul having some kind of serious conversation. Chani asks Paul how it feels to be human and Paul has his knife out. Paul being human is something that's very big in the franchise and it's actually what the Benny were testing for with the gum jibar. Also plays upon how he's lost his sight and is such a good moment. We then cut to a shot of Sightail seemingly crashing in some kind of pod. This has led to a theory floating around the internet that Chani in the desert might actually be Sightail in disguise. As I mentioned Sightail is a pace dancer and can shapeshift his appearance and notice how Chani has her hair completely down here whereas in all the other shots of her she either has it tied up in a ponytail or tied to the back.
Along with this, she just acts super weird in these moments. So I think this is Sightail trying to mess with Paul and get him to surrender. Which explains why he's got his knife out as well, because he clearly fucking figured that out. Like, if you know there's a shapeshifter there, every person you'd be like, that's the fucking shapeshifter. But yeah, in Messiah, he deploys a similar trick, but takes the form of a Fremen woman named Lichna. I just think for a movie, it makes sense for that to be Chani.
This also brings me back to the earlier shot of someone grabbing Chani's scarf from the sand, which I think is Sightail as well. Feel like he possibly came across her in the desert, and this is when he assumes her identity. We then get a quick flash of Alia covered in blood, confronting the Reverend Mother guys, Helma Hine. Now I'm not sure why she's covered in blood, but Alia and the Reverend Mother have a major beef in the first book. For the film, the character wasn't born, so it looks like they might be doing that scene here. In it, Alia's captured towards the end, and she's taken before the Baron and Emperor.
She ends up killing the Baron and she then enters the Reverend Mother's mind through their genetic memory connection. Or something along those lines. And it might have been before she killed the Baron. Look mate, my memory is tied very much to films no matter how many times I read the book. But yeah, Alia was actually pre-born in the womb when she was given the water of life and thus she gained all the knowledge of her ancestors. This is known as abomination, which is something that the Reverend Mother caught her in this scene. So I do imagine that we're getting a similar scene here with her uncovering the Bene Gesserit and the other's plots to kill Paul. The Reverend Mother refused to look at Alia, but the words burned in her mind. Yes, far deeper implications lay here.
The sister was an abomination, true, but there could be no denying her status as a Reverend Mother with all the title implied. We then see the Duke's ring and I wonder if Paula is getting hate to swear to it. We also have hate joining in the fight after being dropped down from an Ornithopter. Tune part 1 was actually originally gonna open with Duncan being dropped onto a planet so it does seem like this scene could be happening here. Paul then says he sounds like he's in Atreides and he says he was told he was one. This teases that he will eventually regain his memories and it's most likely during the point in the book where he and Paul are on their way to find Channy but they don't fight as Paul tells them to put his knife away which is possibly what's going on here. We then see Paul and Channy holding the twins along with the conclusion of their fight from the beginning of the trailer with them then embracing each other. This is shot with an old timely film look and apparently Denny used 60mm cameras for certain parts of the film which I'm guessing these bits are. Along with this is the shot of the stone burner blinding Paul and then seeing his now dead eyes
while on the battlefield with Duncan. We also get two figures parachuting in, which is how the Fremen leave a worm they've been riding on. It's also a quick moment where Chani stands in front of an incoming sandworm, which stops right before it hits her. And it's going to be a lovely little pet. Now, June Heretics actually brings in the concept one can psychically control the worm, and this is potentially what Chani's doing here. We then end the trailer with Paul asking for forgiveness for all that he's done. He's got his bald head and burnt in eyes, and it's at this point that we then cut to the logo. And what a trailer that was. Fucking banger. Anyway, that wraps up that teaser, and I have to say, it looks absolutely amazing. I am so hyped for this film, and as I'm sure you can tell, I can't wait to see it in December.
to let you know as well i actually bought this costume because i'm doing a big breakdown of doom part one and two and i've actually just shot the first part of that video I think that should be out for members in about two weeks' time, and then it'll be out for public consumption either the week after that or the week that follows it.
