As we get closer to the release of Dune: Part Two at the end of the month, Warner Bros. has announced Dune will be returning to theaters for a one week engagement with a special preview of the anticipated sequel.
Dune is based on Frank Herbert’s epic sci-fi novel which spawned a sprawling franchise that is still ongoing by Herbert’s son Brian Herbert. The first film was directed by Denis Villeneuve with Timothée Chalamet starring as Paul Atreides.
