They're quite similar to the book too

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint

Sure - but this trailer makes it look like a remake.

Chalamet just looks like he's about to wander off and join a boyband at any moment.

There also is a trailer for a new adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca out and much of it will remind you of the 1940 Hitchcock movie if you've seen that. New adaptations of books can't help but be remakes of previous adaptation. In terms of design, this new Dune looks very different from the Lynch film though.
Seing this trailer makes me wish more than ever that Lynch had gotten to make the film he had planned. After screening an early rough cut of Dune for the studio, they demanded he delivers a two hour movie when he'd been shooting a three hour film. That's why the second half is such a mess and Lynch subsequently disowned the film.

Whats Paul's character like in the books? From the trailer there Timothée Chalamet seems a bit unlikeable rich boy to me - which maybe suits the story if thats the young prince vibe?

That's the point, he's aristocracy.

yeah but I dont remember getting quite that unlikable aristocracy vibe from Kyle MacLachlan - he was still young princey without being offputting somehow.

I don't see how you get that from the trailer. Something which does happen is that when an young actor who is uncommonly beautiful (not ruggedly handsome, but beautiful) gets cast in a blockbuster, they get a lot of push back, mostly from heterosexual men.

its not his beauty that puts me off, its his moneyed life of aristocratic leisure, the airs and comforts of which come across strongly!
for some reason the trailer made me want to see him suffer 
Hard to call it from a trailer. I have always been a fan of the Lynch version too. It has flaws (from the book) but I love the look and style of it. Will certainly be watching the new one!

I'm fairly certain that the Lynch film would have been a lot better, had the studio not fucked it up.

Isn't that basically the same joke as the one in the post before ?

C'mon, it's Friday.Isn't that basically the same joke as the one in the post before ?
On the book btw, it is a classic bit of sci-fi.

Look out, he's got a gnu!
It looks so dull
Hmm, I wouldn't say Timothee Chalmat is uncommonly beautiful. In fact, I think he's very average but each to their own...

Google his name + heartthrob and look at the rapturous articles. Whatever ones personal preferences, I'd say that those cheekbones, Bambi eyes, floppy hair and his androgyny all conform to current standards of beauty, be that men or women. He's not my thing either but I can see why he's considered to be a dreamboat.Hmm, I wouldn't say Timothee Chalmat is uncommonly beautiful. In fact, I think he's very average but each to their own...
Timothée Chalamet Is The Heartthrob We Need
In a time when women are grappling with men's failings, it's comforting to dream of a Chalamet-filled future.

The only thing I've seen him in is "The King" on Netflix, which is an absolutely awful film. However he did in the 20-30 minutes of that film look more like the real Henry V (spoilt, pouty and with a killer's eyes) than any actor I've ever seen play that role.

In the book the atreides are the loyal leaders of the people. The kindly despots. Although they become much more murderous than anyone before them.
Oh rest assured that Paul suffers plenty!its not his beauty that puts me off, its his moneyed life of aristocratic leisure, the airs and comforts of which come across strongly!

There was a TV version that was Alan Smitheed by Lynch.There's a longer version of Lynch's Dune though? I'm sure I even have it somewhere.

Ah, that'll be the one. I think I have a disk of this that was given away with The Observer. Or is it the proper film? Will need to dig it out...
It's the film with a lot of storyboard images and narration to pad it out.

Dunno, reckon this new joke looks very different from the previous joke, though.

The extended cut was put together by some hack and it looks amateurish. It's also pan&scan to fit the then tv format of 4:3, which means almost half the frame is missing. Lynch was approached with doing a longer cut for TV but they weren't going to pay him, so he turned them down.There's a longer version of Lynch's Dune though? I'm sure I even have it somewhere.
