Following on from yesterday’s teaser, Warner Bros. has unveiled the first trailer for Dune, the new adaptation of Frank Herbert’s seminal sci-fi novel from director Denis Villeneuve (Arrival, Blade Runner 2049). Check it out below, along with the official synopsis and a selection of screenshots…
A mythic and emotionally charged hero’s journey, “Dune” tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence—a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential—only those who can conquer their fear will survive.
