Witness the rise of Muad’Dib in ‘Dune: Part Two’
Denis Villeneuve’s Dune was a monumental achievement of the cinema art form, and audiences are waiting with bated breath for the follow-up to the story of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), as the young nobleman, castaway on the harsh surface of Arrakis finds his spirit and conviction and leads his newly adopted people into a fight for freedom that will change the very nature of the galaxy in Dune: Part Two. And this newly released trailer is AWESOME!
Watch the brand new trailer for Dune: Part Two here:
Here’s the official synopsis:
The film will explore the continuing journey of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) who is united with Chani (Zendaya) and the Fremen. As he seeks revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family, he endeavors to prevent a terrible future that only he can predict.
Building off of the first teaser trailer that was released in May, audiences now have a greater picture of what awaits in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two. Where the genius director laid the groundwork and narrative structure for the saga in his 2021 masterpiece, the action and intensity builds in this second chapter as Timothée Chalamet’s Paul Atreides rises up to become the equally revered and feared Muad’Dib, and leads his people into a holy war.
Villeneuve’s direction is again flawless in the presentation of this picture, and he works in unison with all areas of production as they bring to life a greater area of this vast canvas that is Frank Herbert’s Dune. Cinematographer Greig Fraser again paints in beautiful shades of orange, yellow, mustard and sand and captures the essence of the desert and the feeling that audiences first felt when witnessing David Lean’s classic picture Lawrence of Arabia. The dual use of shadow and light play an integral part in the presentation of this picture, and this trailer is beautiful to witness.
This second trailer also gives audiences an expanded look at the film’s growing cast, which includes the likes of Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen and Christopher Walken as Shaddam IV, the Emperor of the Universe. Where Pugh’s Irulan is a complex, far-seeing and intuitive character, Butler’s Feyd-Rautha is a calculating and twisting sociopath trained in the gladiator pits of Giedi Prime and who has a thirst for Atreides blood. Christopher Walken has an almost snake-like presence as the devious Emperor Shaddam IV. All these new characters bring a massive weight to this story, and they’ll be an integral part of what builds interest for audiences with this picture.
Dune: Part Two is set to be one of 2023’s most exciting releases, and audiences who are seeking a true blockbuster cinema experience will be awed when it arrives in cinemas on November 2.
