Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of Dune just dropped its first trailer. And it looks insane!! The film itself is due in December and here's hoping that the theaters (and everything else) will finally be wide open because this looks to be a movie screaming for the big screen experience. Love the reveal of the sandworm!
Turn your peepers toward this, ladies and gents:
Will Villeneuve's Dune succeed where two previous adaptations have come up short? I thought the Sci-Fi Channel's version was an admirable attempt (and it did give us the follow-up Children of Dune) and however glorious a mess it was, David Lynch's Dune has a hypnotic quality to its production design. But those didn't quite nail it. Or maybe Dune is one of those stories best left to the book and the reader's imagination. We'll find out in a few months.
