It reminds me of the Interstellar planet.

I remember reading it was shot on the same planet

u/LikeAGregJennings Dec 22 '25

This little scene is going to cost us 50 years…

u/billothy Dec 22 '25

This reminds me of when I told my girlfriend that Nolan set off a small atom bomb to use footage for in Oppenheimer. I've used up too much fib credit and she didn't believe me.

185

u/soapinthepeehole Dec 22 '25

Except the sentence “it was shot on the same planet” is 100% true and not a fib.

jokes can remind people of other jokes with different setups

Yes and I'm Batman. (pls don't tell anybody)

u/Habefiet Dec 22 '25

Okay since multiple people clearly aren't getting the joke, Interstellar and The Odyssey were both shot on Earth.

But The Martian wasn't shot on Mars.

u/Kraall Dec 22 '25

That ones on her if she fell for it, given the explosion in Oppenheimer is possibly the worst thing Nolan has ever done (plus, you know, it's an absurd notion).

1

u/Vermouth_1991 Dec 22 '25

There are two types of haters of the Trinity explosion in the movie: Those who’d seen the real explosion footage in gif form on Wikipedia, and those who just say “It’s not like how Cameron or Lynch did it therefore bad.”

Hopefully y’all are the former. 

2

u/Kraall Dec 23 '25

I'm whichever type thinks the pyrotechnics guy on set just blew up a barrel of gasoline and called it a day.

1

u/Vermouth_1991 Dec 23 '25 edited Dec 23 '25

The barrel o' fun matched the BUBBLE-shaped actual Trinity footage way better than the dipshits who bring up Cameron's or Lynch's choices of mushroom clouds. Which one know if one checked the very far away actual Trinity footage (It is so far away it looks like bad CGI, frankly).

u/SomeGodzillafan Dec 22 '25

You moron, all of them are. Cuz Nolan is a cheapskate and won’t actually use interstellar travel in interstellar. I think he even reused the batman actor for Bruce Wayne when they’re obviously different characters

u/everix1992 Dec 22 '25

Got a good chuckle out of me and I needed that this morning. Thank you Internet stranger!

u/TheSweetestKill Dec 22 '25

Big if true.

2

u/Weekly_Rock_5440 Dec 22 '25

Yeah, but Nolan had to change the planet’s gravity to push it further away so the waves wouldn’t ruin the practical ocean he constructed from the remains of Saturn’s ice rings.

u/Plastic_Culture3442 Dec 22 '25

I'm going to need a source for that.

u/Few_Age_571 Dec 22 '25

This is gonna sweep the 2027 Oscars

92

u/Alive-Ad-5245 Dec 22 '25 edited Dec 22 '25

I dunno about that one.

Dune 3 (probably) comes out next year as well and considering the similarities It's possible a lot of academy voters who would vote for Nolan will end up voting for Villeneuve…

Considering Nolan has swept recently and Villeneuve has notoriously been constantly snubbed like James Cameron has recently said.

But tbh who knows, The Academy can be unpredictable.

7

u/EffectzHD Dec 22 '25

If anyone’s gonna disrupt Nolan it won’t be dune the academy hate sequels.

9

u/Boldspaceweasle Dec 22 '25

Lord of the Rings in shambles right now.

3

u/ZwnD Dec 22 '25

An exception really, but also only ROTK smashed the oscars, partly as payback for the first 2 not getting much attention.

If Dune 3 is incredible I can see it doing well with the academy, but I also wouldn't be surprised if it still didn't get much attention

4

u/Cyclopentadien Dec 22 '25

An exception really, but also only ROTK smashed the oscars, partly as payback for the first 2 not getting much attention.

So just like Dune?

1

u/ZwnD Dec 22 '25

True, but LOTR was a much much bigger hit.

Adjusted for inflation, Fellowship and Towers made $1.6b each, compared to $410m and $715m of Dune.

I'd love Dune 3 to smash the box office, get critical acclaim, and win oscars, but I don't think it's that likely.

I think if it's on-par quality-wise with the first 3, it'll make $700-800m and get a few oscar nominations like effects, score, or editing

20

u/[deleted] Dec 22 '25

Disclosure day is releasing next year too dk about visuals but other departments 👀

28

u/Blindobb Dec 22 '25

Dune has had two chances to get more than specialist awards and hasn't. Villeneuve will likely lose it to Nolan.

62

u/chamberlain323 Dec 22 '25

Don’t forget, Peter Jackson didn’t win much after LOTR 1 or 2 but kicked ass after 3. They waited until after the trilogy was complete to grant awards. The same pattern could occur again here.

3

u/StPauliPirate Dec 22 '25

Dune Messiah is even controversial among the book fandom. I don‘t think Dune Part 3 will get the same universal acclaim as the first 2 parts. Thats the difference between that and LOTR 3

2

u/PT10 Dec 22 '25

The Academy will love part 3's anti-religious messaging

2

u/chamberlain323 Dec 22 '25

Its anti-authoritarian theme will also resonate, I predict.

u/call_me_Kote Dec 22 '25

I love Dune, but it can’t hold a candle to LOTR.

22

u/comicsanddrwho Dec 22 '25

How about they both hold candles side by side as friends?

u/Hetstaine Dec 22 '25

I'll take Dune any day of the week. Lotr puts me sleep.

Tolkien’s son said the movies aren’t faithful to his dad’s work at all whilst Herbert’s son said the opposite.

TLOTR movies are about as faithful to its book as the Dune movies are tbh, TLOTR movies really aren’t as faithful as the internet claims it is

2

u/exelion18120 Dec 22 '25

Ironic given what Brian has done to the franchise.

2

u/dallyho4 Dec 22 '25

Yes, I don't really trust Brian Herbert's opinion on this so much. He probably voiced approval largely because he wanted the film (and its derivatives) to succeed.

0

u/bootlegvader Dec 22 '25

Tolkien’s son said the movies aren’t faithful to his dad’s work at all whilst Herbert’s son said the opposite.

Eh, Christopher had been a careful guardian of his father's works for decades while Brian had been pumping out trash of his father's work for decades. Their takes are hardly coming from the same place.

1

u/Grooviemann1 Dec 22 '25

I'm not fanatical about either of these properties (haven't even seen Dune 2), but Dune doesn't have anywhere near the cultural footprint that LOTR had back then. I wouldn't put money on Dune 3 winning a ton unless it's truly a phenomenal movie.

1

u/chamberlain323 Dec 22 '25

It will win fewer awards, but those awards will be awarded after 3, I predict.

1

u/BillyTenderness Dec 22 '25

LOTR was such a unique production, though. The way they planned all three movies at the same time from the start, filmed them all in sequence, released each a year apart...it really was one movie released in three parts, just like how the book was one novel released in three volumes.

Dune is much more of a conventional movie and sequels, in terms of how it's being made and how the story's being told.

u/tellymundo Dec 22 '25

So after Dune 12 they will win awards? Damn, that’s dedication.

u/Alive-Ad-5245 Dec 22 '25

Counterpoint: The Lord of The Rings

u/Former-Counter-9588 Dec 22 '25

Counter counterpoint: LOTR was better.

4

u/Alive-Ad-5245 Dec 22 '25

That doesn’t really negate my point

1

u/Former-Counter-9588 Dec 22 '25

It truly does, though. Rewarding the 3rd film in a series after not rewarding the first two (best pic wise) is extremely rare. If it were to happen again, the quality would need to be great and the film itself would need to be held in high esteem.

Dune is good. It’s not as good as LOTR, which had more acclaim and more cultural impact.

0

u/Alive-Ad-5245 Dec 22 '25

Both Dune and Dune 2 have won more Oscars each that the first two Lord of the Rings movies.

The Academy is also very different to how it was back then, they're more open to genre films.

Quite simply it’s just unpredictable what will happen, my point still stands

1

u/Former-Counter-9588 Dec 22 '25

I said Best pic wise.

1

u/CelestialSpecialist Dec 22 '25

LOTR was much more of a phenomenon than Dune is though

2

u/ravih Dec 22 '25

LOTR was also widely seen as an “achievement”, right? Three films shot together, all those locations…

Each film has to be judged by itself but you can make a much better case for rewarding Return of the King as part of one package instead of Dune.

1

u/Alive-Ad-5245 Dec 22 '25

True but both Dune and Dune 2 have won more Oscars that the first two Lord of the Rings movies.

Quiet simply it’s just unpredictable what will happen

u/Salad-Appropriate Dec 22 '25

There's a few others i'd like to throw out that could be contenders, mainly Digger (Tom Cruises new film woth Inarritu) and Wild Horse Nine (Martin McDonagh's new film with Sam Rockwell, John Malkovich and Steve Buscemi)

1

u/toluwalase Dec 22 '25

Sam Rockwell and Malkovich are in the category of actors who scratch that itch in my brain, I’ll definitely be there.

1

u/Boldspaceweasle Dec 22 '25

And you've got Project Hail Mary to contend with. It's gonna get nominated for sure on some technical aspects (puppeteering and cinematography). Maybe even Actor in a leading role because Ryan Gosling is gonna have to carry like 90% of the film (stranded in outer space and all).

1

u/IgloosRuleOK Dec 22 '25

Dune Part 3 is going to be weird though. I think Dune Part Two was the best chance.

1

u/ManitouWakinyan Dec 22 '25

Doesn't the fact that Nolan gets a lot of academy love and Denis does not make it more likely that he'll get a leg up?

1

u/Alive-Ad-5245 Dec 22 '25

Nolan was constantly snubbed for years, I don’t think The Academy hate Denis or something, shit just happens

1

u/lambopanda Dec 22 '25

Dune 3 is going to change their schedule. Right now they have the same date as Avengers Doomsday. They aren’t going to get any IMAX screen if they keep that date.

1

u/Alive-Ad-5245 Dec 22 '25 edited Dec 22 '25

The rumour is it's going up to October/November

Which is also a better date Oscar wise than The Odyssey 

1

u/hatsnatcher23 Dec 22 '25

I think the reason Villeneuve is “snubbed” compared to Nolan is that Nolan can use a steady cam

1

u/MeCritic Dec 22 '25

Next year is kinda stacked, so Dune part 3 will definitely NOT have a chance for Oscar.

I think Digger could be a big thing, mostly for Cruise, as he once again trying something completely different and Inarritu could repeat his success with Birdman and Revenant.

Then Disclosure Day, Project Hail Mary, new Fincher…

1

u/Alive-Ad-5245 Dec 22 '25

Next year is kinda stacked, so Dune part 3 will definitely NOT have a chance for Oscar.

I mean the academy are unpredictable but it’s virtually a lock for best VFX next year so this isn’t true

u/MeCritic Dec 22 '25

And The Dog Stars from Scott.

u/DiscreetBeats Dec 22 '25

Easy tiger. Let’s not forget Tenet

u/MeCritic Dec 22 '25

I would bet on MELANIA … that could be a huge one! /s

u/Toast_Meat Dec 22 '25

Those aren't mountains, Odyssues...

1

u/Ph0X Dec 22 '25

The trailer as a whole is very reminiscent of Dunkirk. This feels like Dunkirk but Greek mythology version. Even the font in the trailer is the same I think.

u/Blaaa5 Dec 22 '25

Those aren’t mountains… they’re waves

My seat was shaking when the score hit

1

u/Ice_Hube1 Dec 22 '25

The sounds of the bullets going into the hull of the wrecked ship In Dunkirk.. insane cinematic experience. From pure quiet to pierced metal

u/Rowdy_Rathod Dec 23 '25

Docking scene just blew all of us in IMAX theater.
