The first trailer for the sci-fi film Dune is reportedly going to arrive in August ahead of the movie’s December release.
Thanks to a string of beloved sci-fi movies, such as Arrival and Blade Runner 2049, Denis Villeneuve has garnered quite a reputation and passionate fan following.
As such, his latest effort, a new adaptation of Dune, is highly anticipated. So far we have had some tantalising stills from the movie but what about a trailer? Well, according to the Danish theater Palads Teatret (via Trailer-Track), the first trailer will arrive this August.
That’s right, apparently, it will arrive along with a new trailer for Wonder Woman 1984 with the re-release of Inception in theaters:
“The first trailer for Denis Villeneuve‘s Dune, and a new look at Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman 1984 are planned to screen as part of the re-release. This info comes from Palads Teatret in Denmark, where the re-release is currently due to screen from August 12.”
A Portuguese cinema has also confirmed that they will be airing Dune footage for the re-release. An extended look at Nolan’s next film Tenet will also be included according to the report.
