Denis Villeneuve’s Dune Trailer Breaks Out Of The Sand

For sci-fi fans, few properties have the pull of Frank Herbert’s Dune. It’s a property that reaches beyond its origins as a novel, and has had significant impact on speculative fiction as it appears in TV, movies, games, comics, and more.

The first book has been adapted for the screen more than once, but Blade Runner 2049 director Denis Villeneuve has been hard at work bringing his new vision of the story to life, and the new three-minute trailer offers an awesome look at what’s in store.

The film is targeting release in theaters on December 18.
