It’s time to return to Arrakis.
Warner Bros. Pictures has released the official trailer for Dune: part threestarring Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides.
Denis Villeneuve directed and wrote the script with Brian K. Vaughan for the third and final film of his Dune trilogy, based on the novel by Frank Herbert Messiah of the dunes.
The new film is set nearly two decades after Paul Arteries took control of the Empire.
“Now a ruthless Emperor, Paul must face the consequences of his reign as old allies return, terrifying new threats emerge, and betrayal lurks in every shadow. Haunted by visions of imperial collapse and the reappearance of his long-lost love, Paul finds himself drawn into a vast conspiracy, with Chani at the heart of his unfolding mystery,” according to the film’s official description. “As rebellion brews and enemies draw closer, Paul must face the true cost of power and the fate of those he loves most.”
The trailer begins with Zendaya’s Chani yelling at Chalamet’s Paul.
“I trusted you! You promised me you would never take power in your name. You convinced me that this was your home. That I was your home,” he says.
We also see the return of Jason Momoa to the Dune universe. Momoa previously played Duncan Idaho in Dune: Part One. His character is now known as Hayt. He tells Paul that he is “far beyond redemption.”
The trailer ends with Paul saying, “Forgive me for everything I’ve done.”
Florence Pugh, Rebecca Ferguson and Isaach De Bankolé also star in the film, alongside Charlotte Rampling, Anya Taylor-Joy and Javier Bardem. They are joined by newcomers Nakoa-Wolf Momoa and Ida Brooke.
Dune: part three hits theaters December 18.
