Warner Bros on Thursday released a new trailer for Dune: Part Two, Denis Villeneuve’s second pic in a planned three-film saga based on Frank Herbert’s classic sci-fi novel. The Warners/Legendary Pictures pic is set to hit theaters November 3, 2023.
Timothée Chalamet returns as Paul Atreides and Zendaya as Chani in the film, which picks up after the events of the first Dune, which bowed in 2021 and grossed more than $402 million at the global box office.
Also back in the cast is Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Dave Bautista, Charlotte Rampling, Stephen McKinley Henderson and Stellan Skarsgård, joined by Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Christopher Walken and Léa Seydoux.
The middle pic in the series finds Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen out for revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family. Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, Paul endeavors to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee (The film’s tagline is “Fury Will Rise,” so you get the idea).
Villeneuve co-wrote the screenplay with Jon Spaihts from Herbert’s novel.
Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Villeneuve, Tanya Lapointe and Patrick McCormick are producers. Executive producers are Josh Grode, Herbert W. Gains, Spaihts, Thomas Tull, Brian Herbert, Byron Merritt and Kim Herbert.
The new trailer, which comes after the first official trailer dropped in May after it was shown at CinemaCon, shows off the scope that helped the original pic score 11 Oscar nominations including Best Picture. Dune: Part One won six Oscars in the crafts categories and returns several from that team here, including editor Joe Walker, production designer Patrice Vermette, composer Hans Zimmer and VFX supervisor Paul Lambert. Costume designer Jacqueline West, who was nominated last go-around, also returns.
Check out the trailer above.
