DUNE trailer to be released on 9 September

A new Dune teaser attached to screenings of Tenet has confirmed that the first full trailer for the film will be released on 9 September.

The teaser - because trailers for trailers remain a thing - depicts the sequence from early in the story where the Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam (Charlotte Rampling) forces Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) to undergo a test using a pain box and her Gom Jabbar (a poison-coated needle). There are establishing shots of the vast deserts of Arrakis, a glimpse of an ornithopter (with actually beating wings!) and shots of key characters Duke Let Atreides (Oscar Issac), Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson), Stilgar (Javier Bardem), Chani (Zendaya), Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgard), Gurney Halleck (Josh Brolin), Dr. Wellington Yueh (Chang Cheng), Dr. Liet-Kynes (Sharon Duncan-Brewster), the Beast Rabban (Dave Bautista) and Duncan Idaho (Jason Momoa).

For some reason, the teaser has not been officially released online yet. The full trailer, hopefully, will be next week.

Dune is currently scheduled to open in cinemas worldwide on 18 December.
