Dune Trailer

Director Denis Villeneuve has already achieved the impossible after successfully creating a Blade Runner sequel that not only lived up to its esteemed predecessor but in many wars surpassed it. Now, he turns his attention to bringing Frank Herbert’s famously unfilmable bestseller to the big screen. The epic trailer drops us into the desert planet Arrakis and introduces Timothée Chalamet in the lead role as Paul Atreides, a gifted young man and heir to the noble house Atreides with an incredible destiny. Chalamet headlines an astonishing all-star cast and the longer-than-usual trailer ensures we get a good look at all of them. Zendaya’s mysterious Chani appears first, in a dream sequence that suggests the two share a destiny, before we see a veiled Charlotte Rampling and intense Josh Brolin putting Paul through his paces. Then we meet Rebecca Ferguson as Paul’s mother, a spectacularly bearded Oscar Isaac as his father, and strikingly beardless Jason Momoa as his warrior friend. There’s also blink-and-you’ll-miss-them glimpses of Javier Bardem, Dave Bautista, and Stellan Skarsgård too. It’s a truly mega line-up, but the cast is nothing compared to the scale and scope of the sci-fi storytelling we can expect when this lavish blockbuster comes to the big screen.
