Doesn't Chani drink, as back-up in case Jessica's drinking failed. She was carrying the bag in which the Water of Life was contained, and gave it to the others.

Only… after… Jessica has changed the Spice Essence (water of life) making it safe for everyone to drink.  If Jessica had failed the agony (died) Chani would then have partaken of the unchanged spice essence.

I Found David Lynch’s Lost Dune II Script

https://www.wired.com/story/david-lynch-dune-sequel-script-unearthed/

Quote

Franchising was the plan before the first film crashed and burned, with Lynch and star Kyle MacLachlan (playing Paul Atreides) set to shoot both Dune sequels back-to-back in 1986. Miniature spaceship models, costumes, and props from the first film were placed in storage by producer Dino De Laurentiis for use on these follow-ups, while the director hammered away on a Dune II script. “I wrote half a script for the second Dune. I really got into it because it wasn’t a big story,” he says in Lynch on Lynch, “more like a neighborhood story. It had some really cool things in it.”

Quote

From out of the shadows emerges a familiar face: the Baron's Doctor (Leonardo Cimino). Thought to be the only speaking part created specifically for Dune by Lynch, we learn this Doctor was actually Scytale, a shape-shifting “face dancer” crucial to the plot of Herbert's second book. Going back to Dune ’84, you may not have noticed Cimino's Doctor accompanied Baron Harkonnen during the Arrakeen attack. The Doc is absent after that, even as the Baron yells creepily, “Where's my doctor?” That’s because Doc/Scytale absconded with Duncan’s body. This Easter egg is Lynchian world-building at its best.

wtf:
 

Quote

Scytale's friends are laughing and wildly rolling marbles under their hands as they watch Scytale sing through eighteen mouths in eighteen heads strung together with flesh that is like a flabby hose. The heads are singing all over the pink room. One man opens his mouth and a swarm of tiny people stream out singing accompaniment to Scytale. Another man releases a floating dog which explodes in mid-air causing everyone to get small and lost in the fibers of the beautiful carpet. Though small they all continue to laugh, a laughter which is now extremely high in pitch. Scytale (now with only one head) crawls up a wall laughing hysterically.

Quote

Meanwhile, Paul holds a council meeting providing his now-teenage sister Alia (previously played by 7-year-old Alicia Witt) with a big entrance: “sexy, 17 and wears a very beautiful version of the Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother robes.” Lynch auditioned actress Jennifer Jason Leigh for the first Dune, making casting director Jane Jenkins earmark her for a “grown-up Alia.”

Looking forward to it. 

Also saw the summary of what David Lynch had planned.  Not hewing to cannon, but had potential.

Definitely enjoyed the wrestler pic.

"I'm very grateful to be alive just to see this, to have the chance to see a film like this, it's hard to describe." (@Hycarius)

"I wish all future science fiction films the best of luck for the next decade, as this one sets the bar so high. Truly exceptional." (@Siphano)

"This film stands head and shoulders above 95% of Hollywood production." (@CapPopcorn)

ok this one sounds pornographic

Quote

Dune 2 is powerful and epic! There's so much going on, it's an apotheosis on every level. I can't believe what I just took in the face." (@CineHDFR)

Quote

"Bigger, more epic, more intimate... Denis Villeneuve delivers a second opus that elevates the DUNE saga to the rank of the greatest modern sci-fi blockbusters." (@DailyPop__)

"Denis Villeneuve's promises have been kept: DUNE 2 is powerful, epic and even more grandiose!" (@DuneInfoFR)

"We're not such big fans of the first Dune part 1, but part 2 was something else. We're blown away by the film's epic and grandiose." (@Les_Bonhommes)

"I don't know what to say after this big slap in the face, but long live cinema, long live Denis Villeneueve, and long live the perfection that is this film." (@Kellie0210)

"Dune Part 2 is just as impressive as Part 1, if not more so." (@MatteoSapin)

"It's February and we've already got the best blockbuster of the year. Unbeatable." (@ZiggyYag)

"The perfect film exists, and it's called Dune Part 2. Denis Villeneuve thank you for existing, you are the King." (@M0ithis)

"Dune 2 is the masterpiece we've been waiting for! The film alternates brilliantly between intimate scenes and the outrageous action scenes more present in this opus. Chalamet's charisma shines through! Villeneuve further establishes Dune in the legend." (@westworldlesang)

"I'll be honest, Dune 1 looks pale in comparison to Dune 2." (@CineFredo)

"Dune 2 is a crazy visual and sensory experience!!! Probably more incredible than the 1st instalment. Much denser, more action and a mythology that develops little by little. Stars in my eyes. I just want to see it again!" (@Al3x_Aug)

OH GOD MY RIBS ARE BROKEN!!! HOW THE FUCK DO I GET OFF THIS THING?!?

 

I'm all in and going to see part 2 when it comes out.

But from that trailer, there was a little much of an Jamiroquai 

moment when Paul starts moon dancing or whatever.

I was in the grocery late one evening a month or so ago and Jamiroquai came on the in house speakers.  I told my wife about it and she didn't know what I was talking about.  I was very disappointed.

Sounds like an adult version of character has been cast, I'm assuming in one of Paul's prescient visions:

Spoiler

 Anya Taylor Joy was at the premiere, and is said to have a small, mysterious role in Part 2.  Alia?
