The music you liked was a remake of a song from my second favorite band (Pink Floyd). I am glad that you still do not have a good idea of what it is about (so the trailer is not to much of a spoiler). I say this because I know you don't let others opinions decide how you will feel about something. I did not like the first Dune movie and would much rather you react to this first. For what it is worth I watched the first Dune movie and stopped watching it part way through because I disliked it. I thought it was a confusing mess without knowledge of the source material but that was a long time ago and maybe I just was not smart enough to follow it well. I had not read the book yet. After reading the book I watched the first movie later and it was better because I could understand it with the knowledge of the book helping me. Assuming this movie is less confusing than the first (and of course I do not know /have not seen it) I think it would actually help you enjoy the original more to watch this one first. I think they are making it two parts though so it would be a bit before part two is out.

You know, I've never seen the original film nor have I read the source material. I'm vaguely aware of some of the story and plot elements, but not too much. The fact that Denis Villeneuve is directing definitely has me interested as I'm quite fond of his work. I look forward to seeing it.

I have read the books (all of them) and I have seen the original and remakes. I suggest going in blind. Both the original movie and tv remake of the movie and books are different but the story is still the same. This not just a story; it is an epic with more twist and turns, think "The Crown meets Game of Throne and Star Wars". Like Star Wars it is an epic to be told in 6 movies. There are 2 side books but that can be told as a side story. The creatures name you saw was Shai-Hulud it is very important to the whole story.

(Let’s see if I can give some context without any spoilers.) Dune is the first of a series of *books*. It’s big and complex, with “Lord of the Rings” level world-building. The first attempt at turning it into a movie never got beyond the planning stage when the studio was told it would need to be 10-15 hours long. The second attempt was the David Lynch 1984 movie. Lynch planned it as two movies. The actors (yes, including Kyle MacLachlan, and a lot of familiar faces) were signed, sets built, but after filming started, the studio went back on their decision and said it had to be just one. So much material ended up on the cutting room floor. The final result (and there are a few different edits), featured a focus on the more mystical aspects at the expense of some of the ‘politics and intrigue’ parts of the story. Many elements were introduced with seeming significance, that then didn’t materialize. This was somewhat confusing to those who hadn’t read the book, and frustrating to those who had. (But I really enjoyed it despite its shortcomings, and if you liked Lynch’s “Twin Peaks” weirdness, you probably will too.) Since then, there’s been a mini-series version … that lacked the sense of epic-ness IMHO. Which leads us to this version. A lot of people have high hopes, and the trailer looks good. But it’s not an easy movie to make, and only time will tell if this one works better.
