the prophet the one who points the way these are our own religious patterns aren't they this is our doing Dune is about to get an HBO show like House of the dragon and it will explore a war against machines and the rise of the empire and the Benny jesset welcome back screen Crush I'm Ryan Ary so after the amazing Dune part two we're all waiting for the next film but later this year we're getting more Dune with the prequel series Dune prophecy the show will be set 10,000 years before for the events of the movies
now the show is going to explore the creation of the Benny Jer and how they influence the prophecy that allows Paul to control the fmen and start a holy war and before we get rolling I want to announce we have this new spice Krispy shirt for sale at our merch stor screenrush merch.com where redesign all the merch ourselves guys shopping our merch store is a great way to not only get a really fun shirt like this I love the details in it where you can see that instead of kellogs it says a rack as there's
a sandworm coming out of the bowl but this also helps to support our channel so we can post videos like this one for you you can find the link for the shirt down below Dune prophecy will be taking place in one of the most interesting eras in this universe because Humanity faced a dark age in the aftermath of a religious war against the machines that reshaped Humanity for the next 10,000 years so there's so much to explain about Doom prophecy and what it means for the future of the Dune movies and other Possible shows for
thousands of years we've been carefully Crossing Bloodlines to bring for one so Dune prophecy is going to come out on HBO Max in late 2024 and the show takes takes place 10,000 years before Paul trates came to araus fell in love with chani and also he kind of started a holy war oops oops according to the official premise the story will focus on two Harkin and sisters who will establish the Benny jesset as they fight against forces that threaten the future of humankind this premise is really interesting especially if you know what important ERA this
show is exploring wow what's so special about it well the show is based on Sisterhood of Dune a prequel book written by Frank Herbert's son Brian and Kevin and Jay Anderson this book explored the formation of the Benny jerich and the consequences of the machine Crusade oh so it was a bunch of sand worms fighting T800 oh man I down for that well no not exactly the machines weren't exactly syons who wanted to kill all humans and the war wasn't about freeing Mankind from their evil machine overlords humans led a holy war against their AI
Creations resulting in the complete destruction of all machines why they destroy their robots well we're going to dive way deeper into the crusade in a little bit but basically humans became too dependent on their technology letting robots think for them D2 you know better than to trust a strange computer so they waged a fanatical religious crusade to destroy all machines The Crusade was a pivotal moment in the Dune Universe similar to how The Clone Wars shaped the Galaxy and Star Wars a war that changed Humanity for ever and its ramifications are at the center of
what is happening in the show but this was also the era when the empire was formed and faced political turmoil that led to a Galactic Civil War and this crisis is how the Benny jesser gained so much power for the next 10 th000 years oh and speaking of Dune hey Doug watch this oh wow when you put on that ring Dune lady S I know all right that's enough so this ring is called transmutation it's actually made from meteorite and 14 karat goldplated tungsten that's right this thing comes from space and it's from gentle bands
the sponsor of this video guys I love these Rings gentle bands is a family-owned Workshop that creates rings from specialty materials this one is made from an ancient meteorite but there are others made from retired space titanium dinosaur fossils Hawaiian COA wood whiskey barrels basically gentle bands let you find a ring that lets you say more about who you are than just a simple common piece of metal Dune inspired me to pick this ring transmutation because it calls to mind the rolling desert Dunes married to a meteorite from space much like Paul atrus himself that's
right and you can also wear it on a chain like so which I can't really do right now because it would hit the microphone now what I really love about gentle bands is how their different collections can let you express who you are and your fandom if you're you're an outdoors guy you can shop their rugged collection where there are rings made of antlers and whiskey barrels or if you're into Marvel they have rings like the Black Panther made for meteorite these would also make for a great gift with Father's Day coming up the packaging
is super cool and they even offer engraving could they each get engraved individually yes so guys we have an offer exclusive to screen Crush fans to get 25% off use the code screen crush or click the link in the description you don't want to miss out these rings are so cool now back to Dune and as you can guess from the title Dune prophecy the series will explore how the prophecy in the Dune movies was created in the first place but before that we have to explain how the show was created and the many problems
behind the series oh I got a bad feeling about that well the show was first announced in June 2019 back then Den villanu the director of part 1 and two was heavily involved with the prequel he was even going to direct the first episode John Spates is the writer of the movies and originally he was going to be the showrunner of the prequel villanu spoke about his interest in exploring the Benny jesser and how it seemed like this show was a slam dunk the congregation that influenced politics from the Shadows that have access to all
the leaders that are cillers and spies however villain Depart of the project so he could focus on Dune part two Spates left for a similar reason but he sort of also was pushed out because of creative differences with the studio ever since then the show has undergone many drastic changes there was a revolving door of coming and goinging producers showrunners writers directors and actors production and the direction of the show was overhauled during filming that's never a good sign it never is then the produ went on a Hiatus last year because of all that overhaul
and the writers and actor strike but since then it seems like the show has been back on track with Allison shop car hired as the new showrunner she's previously worked on Westworld season 4 lost Alias and altered carbon Anna Forester was brought in to direct multiple episodes and she's previously directed one of my favorite westw worlds in season 3 genre genre is this reality man at the very least the show will look good since the cinematographer is Pierre Gil who worked on Blade Runner 2049 and they won't be using the volume like in the Star
Wars shows and instead practical sets like in the movies they finished filming in December 2023 with the show's original title Dune The Sisterhood changed to Dune prophecy so yeah it was a problematic production to say the least but hopefully despite all of these problems Dune prophecy is going to be another great show like House of the dragon and the last of us I mean no one really thought that A Game of Thrones prequel show would be any good after that final season but House of the Dragon is freaking awesome obviously it's very different circumstances but
it's HBO and it's Dune so let's hope that things work out and all of the changes they made behind the scenes will only improve the final product got to stay positive positive vibes only because this show guys has so much potential it has a great cast with Emily Watson and Olivia Williams in the main roles Mark Strong will be the emperor there's also Travis fimble from Vikings and Raised by Wolves but more importantly the story of the show is going to explore is going to be huge the show will focus on two Harkin and sisters
Valia and Tula Harkin and sisters aren't they like the bad guys true the heinens are the baddies in the movies but in the prequel books it's revealed that these two sisters created the Benny jesset Sisterhood space riches well they're more like Sith Lords or the night sisters of damir from the Clone Wars and the show will explore the creation of The Sisterhood and how they became a major power in the universe manipulating the houses and pulling all the strings the Benny jesser began their breeding program crossbreeding blood lines to create their chosen one the quat
hatak the result of their 10,000 years of manipulation was a male with with the abilities to see the past and the future and this chosen one is meant to save humanity and lead them on a better path and that's Paul right yes Paul becomes the chosen one however he ends up ruining all of the Ben Jar's plans because Paul defies them starting a holy war in part two thus threatening everything the Benny Jer created consider what you're about to do call a tra silence and this connects to the previous holy war that threatened Humanity 10,000
years earlier they war with the robots that's the one it was called the butleran Crusade this Crusade took place across a century and it ended about a 100 years before the formation of the Benny jerat however the consequences of the Crusade are going to be very relevant in this show so why did the humans kill all the robots well in Frank Herbert's original Saga the robots weren't depicted as evil robots that enslaved Humanity it was about how humans use their machines Some Humans turned the machines into weapons to enslave and Conquer other humans a group
called The butleran became disgusted by how much Humanity depended on their machines so they waged a fanatical religious crusade to destroy all machines and not just robots everything even remotely Advanced went into the trash H let's not lose our cool then we're no better than the machine this anti-technological religion was extremely radical and they forcefully spread their religion everywhere all machines were outlawed and any human who broke the law was executed not the law I am the law so the butleran Crusade was a holy war similar to the one that Paul St starts in part
two however in Brian Herbert's prequel books machines are depicted as your usual evil robots this turned the butleran Crusade into a war to free humans from their machine overlords like many other Dune fans I didn't really like this new Direction since it lacks the depth and complexity of Frank Herbert's original ideas so it's like fans loving the original Star Wars trilogy but hating the sequels yes and no Brian Herbert's books aren't really bad at all they're just kind of missing the point of the original novels I know that sounds harsh but it's true now the
show is based on Sisterhood of Dune a book written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson and both of them are also producers on this show or they were who knows with all these changes in production the title change could mean that the show no longer really adapts the prequel books Deni villanu made it his mission to adapt Frank Herbert's original work as Faithfully as possible while also adding his own flavor that actually makes the movies way better in some places so hopefully the show will do the same rather than stay true to the less
well-received prequel books because it's far more interesting to focus on the human element and the dangers of what people can do with AI as opposed to just humans fighting evil robots so right you hate Terminator oh God no I don't want anyone to think that I'm saying that stories about evil robots are bad I mean Terminator Matrix Battlestar Galactica the borgan Star Trek those are some of my favorite movies and shows of all time but Dune was never about evil robots it was about the dangers of charismatic leaders controlling the minds of people through religious
power and it's also extremely relevant to what's happening now in our own world with AI and social media and all the risks and negligence that come along with with that though in all fairness Sisterhood of Doon does explore the consequences of the butleran Crusade without the thinking machines and advanced technology Humanity plunged into a Dark Age Millions were stranded starved and died without robots space travel was too unsafe so countless societies collapsed there was chaos everywhere but for some chaos is a ladder the Dark Age following the Crusade is the threat that Valia and tulah
harinen will need to stop this crisis allowed the Benny jesset to rise to power and control Humanity for the next 10 10,000 years and this is why the butleran holy war is so important and it must be at the center of Dune prophecy actually they should depict The Crusade like Robert baratheon's rebellion in Game of Thrones a war that took place 17 years before the show a pivotal moment that reshaped the Seven Kingdoms now we never see it we just hear about it well we eventually do see parts of the war through br's Visions later
in the show but in the early Seasons Robert's rebellion was a mystery that was explored through the experiences and perspectives of characters who fought in that war what did the Mad King say when you stabbed him in the back he said the same thing you'd been saying for hours burn them all and this is how Doom prophecy should explore the Crusade Against the Machines and we can even see the war in flashbacks much like Robert's rebellion led to the war of the five Kings so did The butleran Crusade lead to the Galactic Civil War this
anti-tech Army ended up putting Humanity in danger because they were fanatical mobs who began attacking and killing anyone who stood in their way this led to a civil war with the Corino Empire a conflict that would shape the Dune Universe for the next 10,000 years until Paul usurped the throne in part two it was also during this time that the feudal system of the empire was created with the noble houses taking control of human civilizations actually the ancient blood feud between house Harkin and House of Trades started during the Crusade in the movies the heinens
are rich and Powerful but after the Crusade the house was in shambles and it happened because of the atres and valaran becomes obsessed with revenge and the show will feature a new character named Kieran at trates so that means that the blood Feud is also going to be explored oh and it was also around this time that humans discovered the special capabilities of the spice and AR racus became so important he who controls the spice controls the universe From the Ashes of the machine Crusade a new form of humans Rose humans have honed their bodies
and Minds to achieve the things that machines used to do the mentats humans who are capable of processing and calculating information like machines the spacing Guild Navigators who can find pass through the stars with the help of the spice and this mutated them into these freaky creatures oh I don't like that why'd you show me that I really hope we will finally see the space Navigators in the show because I'm interested to see how they're adapted in the current style of Dune anyways without the space Guild no one can travel faster than light so ironically
The Crusade made humans even more dependable but instead of on machines they became chained by orders such as the spacing Guild and of course the Benny jesset they're highly trained in hand-to-hand combat thanks to their weirding Way Martial Arts with the spice they can see the memories of their sisters from the past and they have developed a a superhuman ability that basically makes them Force users like the voice give me The Sisterhood steered Humanity on a path of their choosing for the next 10,000 years all of it culminating with Paul and since the show is
titled Dune prophecy that means that we will see the origins of this Prophecy in the movies the fman are completely devoted to Paul because they believe he is the Lan alib voice from the outer world it's their name for messiah it's a prophecy that foretold the arrival of their Messiah an offworld or Savior and the son of a Benny jessar who will lead them to freedom but this prophecy is built on a lie created by the Benny jesser and dune prophecy will be about the creation of these myths so why do the space riches create
the prophecy well The Sisterhood formed the black arm of a Superstition called the missionaria protectiva they planted the seeds of superstitions among religious cultures like the Fran these myths will take root and eventually Benny jesser could exploit the fabricated religion to control those people real Messiah I'm not the Messiah only the true Messiah denies his divinity all right I am the Messiah this is the reason why the fman accept Paul and Jessica so quickly and how they become powerful religious figures among the fan to the point that they could actually control them completely this is
how Paul could use the fan as a weapon to start a holy war and the Machine holy war might have been what inspired the creation of the prophecy The butleran Crusade was waged by extremely religious and fanatic people Benny jesset had to stop this threat 10,000 years ago but this might have shown them the power of fanatical beliefs and how they could weaponize religion to achieve their goals and this is the very reason why they started manipulating religion so that one day The Sisterhood could wield power over mobs of people to achieve their goals all
of this will tie into what Paul has Unleashed in the movies so this is why we keep emphasizing the importance of the butleran Crusade because Dune part three will adapt Dune Messiah a book that explores the horrifying consequences of the fman holy war so it's fitting that the prequel show will explore the consequences of the machine holy war and how it changes the Dune universe and Begins the chain of events that will culminate in the movies 10,000 years later and all of this is why we're really rooting for the success of Dune prophecy sure it
had a messy production but the story has so much potential and if this show is a big hit that means we could see more Dune shows are like Star Wars and the MCU well maybe not to that extent I don't think that we need six Dune projects every year but after Dune part 3 comes out the Dune franchise could continue on HBO because the best way to adapt the following books especially Children of Dune and God emperor of Dune will be to adapt them for television so this is what we can expect from Dune prophecy
fingers crossed that this show will be great because we really love Dune and we want to see this franchise continue and be successful so are you guys excited about this show what stories do you hope to see in the Dune Universe big shout out to Pavel T the writer and editor this video you can find his links below let us know your thoughts down in the comments or at me on Twitter and if it's your first time here please subscribe smash that bell for alerts for screen Crush I'm Ryan [Music] [Music] Ary
