New 'Dune' trailer is guaranteed to send tingles down your spine
Eight long months ago, we got out first glimpse of Denis Villeneuve's "Dune" and now we have a second, more longer look ... and it looks every bit like the epic space opera we've been hoping for.
It begins very much from the perspective of Chani, played by Zendaya.
"My planet Arrakis is so beautiful when the sun is low, rolling over the sands, you can see the spice in the air," she says in a new trailer revealed today (July 22). "The outsiders ravage our lands in front of our eyes. Their cruelty to my people is all I've known. What's to become of our world?"
We get good looks at most of the main characters, including, Timothée Chalamet (as Paul Atreides), Charlotte Rampling (Reverend Mother Gaius Mohiam), Josh Brolin (Gurney Halleck), Jason Momoa (Duncan Idaho), Rebecca Ferguson (Lady Jessica) and Oscar Isaac (Duke Leto Atreides), plus fleeting glimpses of Javier Bardem (Stilgar), Dave Bautista (Glossu 'Beast' Rabban) and Stellan Skarsgård (Baron Vladimir Harkonnen).
Still no sign of Feyd Rautha though, but rumors abound that Tye Sherian (star of "Ready Player One") might be in the role made infamous on the big screen in 1984 by Sting.
And we get to see what looks like they might be the Emperor's dreaded Sardaukar terror troops, plus fierce fights and desperate battles across the Arrakis desert, Fremen fighting Harkonnens, Atreides fighting Harkonnens…all the while stirring, dramatic music rises and sends tingles down your spine. This is going to be a truly epic cinematic experience.
Villeneuve creates quality, cerebral movies, "Blade Runner 2049" and "Arrival" are just two of his masterpieces, but sadly, these didn't exactly set the box office on fire in a way that studio executives prefer. So we hope with all of our heart, that the second part of this epic sci-fi opera gets given the green light.
"Dune" will open in theaters across the US and stream simultaneously on HBO Max on Oct. 22.

In other "Dune" news, the television series prequel at HBO Max has found its new showrunner. Variety reports that Diane Ademu-John has boarded “Dune: The Sisterhood” in the role of writer, showrunner and executive producer. Jon Spaihts had previously been attached to run the series, but he stepped down in November 2019 to focus on writing the script for the second of the “Dune” reboot films.
The show will be told through the eyes of the Bene Gesserit; a mysterious order of women who possess extraordinary abilities by their mastery of the body and the mind. They weave through the feudal politics of The Imperium, pursuing secret agendas that will ultimately lead them to the planet Arrakis, known to its inhabitants as Dune. The series will serve as a prequel to the films.
Here’s the New Dune Trailer
Andrew LiptakDenis Villeneuve’s long-awaited adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune is just a few short months away, and to remind movie-goers of that fact, Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for the project.
The trailer shows off Arrakis’s epic landscapes and the brutality that the world’s native Fremen have endured under House Harkonnen, teasing an epic story detailing control over the world.
We’ve been expecting this trailer for about a week now: The studio held a special IMAX event this week that gave fans an advance look at the film and trailer, which has brought out a share of pretty positive reviews.
The film is based on part of Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel. This film will cover only the first section of the sprawling book, which followed the rise and fall of House Atreides as they’re dispatched to a desert planet called Arrakis (aka, Dune), where they’re to take over from a rival aristocratic house, the Harkonnens.
Arrakis is a valuable planet to their galaxy: It’s the one place where a drug called Melange is found, which unlocks some mental powers in humans that allows them to navigate space. Once House Atreides arrives, they’re quickly overthrown, leaving Paul and his mother, Lady Jessica, to flee into the desert where they seek help from the Fremen, native tribesmen who are looking to overthrow their oppressors and free their world.
Where the first trailer briefly introduced the world and its characters, this one goes all in on the central core of Herbert’s story—a war for control over the planet and its resources. It opens with Chani (Zendaya) talking about the oppression that she and her people face, interlaced with plenty of images of attacks and slaughter at the hands of House Harkonnen. After that, we jump over to Paul (Timothée Chalamet), who says that he’s been having visions ahead of his family’s departure for the planet.
Along the way, we’ve got some incredibly imagery from Villeneuve of the planet—epic desert scenes, giant spaceships (including a couple that look as though they took some design cues from another of his films, Arrival), and some big set-piece battles.
The film was originally set to be released last year, but because of COVID-19 and lockdown restrictions, Warner Bros. opted to delay the film’s release until this year.
Dune is set to debut on HBO Max and in theaters on October 22nd. If the film’s successful, Warner Bros. has some big plans for the project—a sequel film that will continue to adapt the events of the first book, and a spinoff series for HBO Max called Dune: The Sisterhood, signaling that Warner Bros. is looking at Dune as a bigger franchise that could live on with further adaptations. Between Herbert’s novels and the extended universe that his son Brian and Kevin J. Anderson have been writing, there’s plenty of material to draw from.

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
