Dune's Full Trailer Is FINALLY Here

The first full trailer for Denis Villeneuve's upcoming sci-fi epic Dune has been released by Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures.

The trailer showcases a variety of visuals and iconography that will be familiar to fans of the franchise; including the planets Caladan and Arrakis, House Harkonnen's army of Sardaukar shock troops, the Fremen of Arrakis, the Litany Against Fear, the Gom Jabbar, and the long-anticipated first glimpse of Arrakis' massive sandworms that are a staple of the series.

Dune is the first half of an intended two-part adaptation of Frank Herbert's 1965 novel of the same name. It follows the journey of Paul, the youngest member of an aristocratic family in the far-flung future, who is suddenly relocated to the desert planet Arrakis (a.k.a. Dune) when his father is ceded control of the world from their long-time enemies, the Harkonnens.

Villeneuve's film will be the third adaptation of Herbert's novel, preceded by the 1984 film and 2000 television miniseries aired on the Syfy channel.

The screenplay is by Villeneuve, Eric Roth, and Jon Spaihts. The star studded cast includes Timothée Chalamet (Call Me By Your Name), Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible — Fallout), Oscar Isaac (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker), Josh Brolin (Avengers: Endgame), Stellan Skarsgård (Thor: The Dark World), Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy), Stephen McKinley Henderson (Fences), Zendaya (Spider-Man: Far From Home), Chang Chen (Love And Destiny), Sharon Duncan-Brewster (Sex Education), with Charlotte Rampling (The Night Porter), Jason Momoa (Aquaman) and Javier Bardem (No Country For Old Men).

Villeneuve is producing the film with Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. It is set to be released in the United States on December 18, 2020. A spin-off prequel television series, Dune: The Sisterhood, is also planned for HBO Max.
