*Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya are back for Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune” sequel,” the trailer for which can be watched below.
Per the official synopsis: “Dune” tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence—a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential—only those who can conquer their fear will survive.
Villeneuve said “Dune: Part Two” will serve up more action than his first installment.
“Part One is more of a contemplative movie. Part Two is an action-packed, epic war movie. It is much more dense. We went to all new locations,” said Villeneuve last week at CinemaCon, per The Hollywood Reporter. “I didn’t want a feeling of repetition. It’s all new sets. Everything is new.”
