Director Denis Villeneuve conceived Dune: Part Three<\/a> to be seen in large formats above all. \u201cThe movie\u2019s really meant to be an IMAX experience and to be seen on the biggest screen as possible,\u201d the director said this week. \u201cThat\u2019s how we dreamed the movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Which will be fine come December 18 when Dune: Part Three is in theaters. It might even be fine this weekend if you go see Project Hail Mary in IMAX<\/a>, where, we\u2019re guessing, the new Dune trailer might also appear. But for the rest of us who don\u2019t want to wait, the internet has created something really funny but also excellent: a Franken-IMAX online version of the trailer.<\/p>\n

This week, an X user named KDCloudy<\/a> pointed out that if you take the vertical Instagram version of the trailer and superimpose it on top of the horizontal YouTube version of the trailer, several scenes get much wider, duplicating an IMAX experience. Another internet user, YouTube name Wniebowziety<\/a>, then did just that, and well, it\u2019s kind of amazing.<\/p>\n

At an event this week, Villeneuve expanded on how he was able to shoot Dune: Part Three in multiple ways and why IMAX is his preferred version of the film. \u201cWe shot the movie in 65 millimeter, most of it,\u201d he said. \u201cA big part of it was also shot on IMAX film, a first time for me. But I kept the desert in digital because I liked the brutality of the digital IMAX.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, as he said, IMAX will be the way to see the movie when it hits theaters. And even though it\u2019s currently scheduled to open the same day as Avengers: Doomsday, only Dune: Part Three will be on IMAX screens, at least for a few weeks. And those tickets are sure to go incredibly fast when they\u2019re on sale later this year.<\/p>\n

For now, what did you notice, if anything, from the Franken-IMAX cut of the trailer? Does it make you more excited than the original embed? Let us know below.<\/p>\n
